Follow The (Imperious) Leader

Rappers, dump your bespoke Jesus-piece medallions and cop yourself a vintage 1978 Battlestar Galactica official merchandise pendent of Imperious Leader. Late 70s kids turning up to infant school with that thing around their necks must have felt like Slick Rick in 1988. The pendents were never released in the U.K, but we did get Mattel's Imperious Leader action figure after Battlestar Galactica mania hit Britain in the early 1980s. File it under 'action figures which looked like Colonel Gaddafi meets Purple Aki.'

In 1990 Mattel released the first ever The Simpsons figures including a Bart Simpson & skateboard figure which was the blueprint for Gucci Mane's amazing Bart Simpson chain. If Jeezy had his wits about him he'd have responded by getting a chain made modelled on Mattel's Nelson Muntz & trashcan figure, but with Bart's legs sticking out of the trashcan. Crazy visionz, BOOM:

Yeah, in the past year I've become one of those sad late 40-something blokes who use vintage toy figures as objet d'art ornaments for my desk and shelves. Holla @ ya host if you wanna sell me a Baron Greenback bully figure for around the £20 mark.
