Keith Richards in Toyland

Ktvu.com reports the collectible manufacturer NECA has obtained exclusive rights to produce an action figure of Teague Sparrow, portrayed by Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The figure will be available in both 7-inch and 18-inch form this summer.

Photos of the action figure are not yet available due to Disney's tight security over images of Teague prior to the film's release.

Speaking of Richards, SFGate reports he earned a new nickname from Johnny Depp during his stint on the Pirates set:
"The anticipation was mad," says Depp. "Everyone was like, 'Is he going to do it? Is he going to do it?' And then whammo, he arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, totally prepped and ready to go. Obviously, Keith Richards — the guy invented charisma. But what I didn't expect was he was going to be such a great actor. I started calling him 'Two-Take Richards'. It was like this gunslinger arrived in town, charmed all the women and impressed all the men, and then split."

I'll only buy it if it plays guitar, snorts ashes, and falls out of trees...

Am so looking forward to seeing Keith`s cameo. Johnny always always sounds to gracious when talking about his co-stars.
