Okay, LEGO has announced that due to popular demand, they’re going to release a set of Lego TBBT figures. The 4 guys and 3 girls (not Emily). And it got me thinking, suppose some company marketed some larger TBBT action figures? They usually include some sort of appropriate accessory with each one, so what accessory would you include? I’ve got a couple ideas, what can you folks come up with?

Sheldon: A bound copy of the Roommate Agreement.  
Leonard: An inhaler  
Amy: A tiara  
Raj: Cinnamon, his dog.

I’m kind of sure on those, and iffy or no clue on these…

Penny: A bottle of wine or a pair of expensive shoes?  
Howard: I dunno… a robot arm?  
Bernie: I haven’t a clue.

I’d have a Mars rover for Howard.

No, I’m thinking about action figures the size of the star wars action figures, what, 3"? The ones that came with light sabres or blasters to lose.

I got a Leonard action figure for my birthday last year. He didn’t come with accessories. He’s also not very pose-able. You can turn his head, that’s just about it. He lives on my desk at work.

When Kevin Smith came out with figures from his Askewniverse, he called them “Inaction figures”, which might be more appropriate for TBBT characters.

If Howard comes with a robot arm, maybe Amy should come with her favorite electric toothbrush (in addition to her tiara)?

Action figures? You mean you can buy them and make any of them have coitus with any other?

Howard and Raj belong together, let’s face it. Time to show their love.

A two-barreled Swing shot would be Bernadettes accessory!

Over the shoulder boulder holder!

3 3/4 scale.

They announced a line of these some time ago. I think only Sheldon was released with different DC comics themed shirts.

I HATE the show, but I collect that scale and was looking forward to some good civilian figures.

But still, what accessory should each one come with?

Hey, that was just the one time. Let it go, okay?

Sheldon: a couch  
Leonard: a handful of wilted flowers to symbolize his long-term pining for Penny  
Raj: a beer  
Howard: mirrors on his shoes and a brisket

Penny: a wine glass  
Amy: (will have to think about this one)  
Bernadette: a flask of raccoon virus

Stuart: nothing

No action figure for Stuart? That’s just mean. Even Betty eventually became a vitamin.

No, he’d have an action figure, just with no accessories.

Robot Arm, Amy gets a tiara. That one’s a gimme.

I know. I’ve been trying to think of something better, but haven’t yet.

Oh, maybe a chain-smoking monkey.

Howard should come with 5 different belt buckles you can swap around.

I always associate Amy with the old copy of _Clinical Diagnosis by Laboratory Methods_, 15th edition frequently [seen](http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/da/fa/2335c0a398a0158d6ee40210.L.jpg) in the background in her apartment.
