WAITING FOR GODOT DELUXE ACTION FIGURES

The wait is over! Didi, Gogo, Pozzo, Lucky, and the Boy are here in a set of 3.75” vinyl figures, complete with special accessories and a playset complete with country road, stone, and tree!


• Vladimir - The larger of the two tramps, Vladimir—or Didi—mostly stands, keeps his eyes to the sky, and muses on unknowable philosophical questions. He is never far away from his friend and companion, Estragon, who he has traveled with for a half-century. 

• Estragon – Estragon, nicknamed Gogo, is slighter than Didi. He sits down on the stone repeatedly, where he laments his aches and pains and fiddles with his boots. Gogo’s mind may be fading. He seems to have been a poet earlier in life, which accounts for the shabbiness of his clothing.

• Pozzo – A rich man with a pipe, Pozzo is on his way to sell his manservant, Lucky. He eats chicken greedily and throws the bones to the ground.

• Lucky – Tethered to Pozzo by a long rope, Lucky follows along behind his master, erupting only once for a lengthy monologue. The figure speaks this monologue when a button on the forehead is pressed. 

• Boy – The boy works for Godot. His appearances are brief and he ends them by running away. The figure’s legs are articulated to permit this motion. 


Accessories: Two (2) pairs of interchangeable arms for Didi. Two (2) pairs of interchangeable arms for Gogo. Two (2) bowler hats. Four (4) boots. One (1) rope. One (1) pipe. Six (6) chicken bones.
