Actors Playing with Themselves: Actors with Action Figures

Karen Gillan with Amy Pond

Having your own action figure must feel like one of the coolest things possible. Untold numbers of children will waste away their summertime taking little miniature versions of you on imaginary adventures. They’ll sleep with your action figure tucked under their arm and get yelled at by their moms for not putting you away.
And they’ll also melt you down in the microwave, make you swim in the toilet and force you to have sex with all their other toys. They will if you’re owned by a kid like me anyway.
