About this deal

Sabotage" was the first single off the Beastie Boys album Ill Communication, which came out late May in 1994. Ill Communicationwent to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, in no small part because of the music video for "Sabotage." Legendary rap/funk/hardcore, etc. outfit the Beastie Boys will make the jump to action figure form in early September. The multi-platinum trio have teamed up with Super7 for inclusion in the latter’s 3.75″ ReAction figure line. For this initial entry, the trailblazing outfit opted to immortalize the characters they played in the official music video for “ Sabotage“. That Spike Jonze-directed video served as the lead single for the pioneering group’s 1994 album, “ Ill Communication“, helping propel it to 3x multi-platinum status.

While the tin only includes the sweater torso itself, we couldn’t help but put it on a minifig of our own. We’re not going to ask what’s going on here. In addition to the bowlers themselves, the set includes Maude Lebowski in a leather harness and a red nihilist with a giant pair of scissors from the Dude’s hallucinatory dreams.As many of us know, once the Beastie Boys hit the scene, it really changed the hip-hop game,” said council member Christopher Marte. “I see it as a celebration. A celebration for the Lower East Side, a celebration for hip-hop, and especially a celebration for our community who has been organising for a really long time to make this happen.”

The second tile features a painting that Bob Ross would never actually paint — the same landscape on fire. This adds a hilarious dimension to what would otherwise be a straight recreation of the iconic public television presenter. Jonze also went on to produce and direct Beastie Boys Story in 2020, a live documentary film based on the Beastie Boys Book, a memoir from the band. Bringing it full circle, actressAmy Poehlerreviewed the music video for "Sabotage" in Beastie Boys Book saying that "there would be no (movie) Anchorman, no (director) Wes Anderson, no (band) Lonely Island and no channel calledAdult Swimif this video did not exist".

When I first heard “Fight for Your Right” as a child of a religiously conservative minister, the song made me deeply uncomfortable, despite the fact that the song was actually lampooning the very party lifestyle it appeared to celebrate. Today, hearing a bit more nuance and having lived a few decades longer, it’s become one of my favorite songs. And because it’s awesome, here’s the original music video. Shot by Academy and Grammy Award winning director Spike Jonze, the "Sabotage" video is a parody of 70's cop shows like Hawaii Five-0 and Starsky and Hutch. The video was played relentlessly on MTVat the time, and it was nominated in five categories at the 1994 MTV Music Video Awards. Both Walter and Jesus carry bowling balls with printed finger holes. The arm and leg designs are printed on the sides of the legs, giving each character a full 360-degree look.
