SCTV
spawned the careers of John Candy, Gene Lovitz, Rick Moranis and Dave
Thomas. Rick and Dave got together and created Bob
& Doug McKenzie, two beer-swilling brothers who were always on the
lookout for free beer and donuts on sale. Their show, Great White North,
was the highlight of any episode of SCTV, and consisted mostly of them
bickering, telling one another to, "Take off, you hoser."
There was also a feature film, Strange Brew. And now on the dawn of a
new millennium, McFarlane Toys releases these two perfect figures.
Bob
& Doug are packaged separately but both must be purchased to achieve
any level of satisfaction. Each figure comes with half the stage set.
The stage itself is in perfection proportion to the figures and the
variety of accessories is staggering. There are bottles of
beer, cases
of beer, donuts and bottle caps. Doug comes with a cooler with slots to
put a few beer bottles in, and Bob comes with a Coleman stove, complete
with back bacon! These are the penultimate Canadian action figures and
will probably never be matched.
The
figures themselves are perfect. That’s all there is to say. Perfect.
The paint jobs are good, the articulation provides just the right
poseability, and the sound clips suit them. They are the perfect
editions to any bar or desk!
