You're a Headache in a Suitcase, You're a Star

Despite suffering a historic defeat at the hands of Jason Bourne in the inaugural Running Down a Dream "Bad-A" contest, Anton Chigurh, ahem, Javier Bardem kept a stiff upper lip, trudged ahead, and came home tonight with a little piece of hardware from something my friends and I like to call "The Oscars".
Well, maybe it's not just my friends that call it that, but you get the idea.

Bardem won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of the stiff-legged, terribly coiffed, and criminally insane Anton Chigurh in the film No Country for Old Men.

Next Christmas, when the officially-licensed, Coen brothers signed Anton Chigurh action figure, complete with an oxygen-fueled cattle stun gun and a removable toupee, is flying off of the shelves at toy stores around the nation, please don't come here expecting to hear from someone who is surprised.

Hopefully the action figure will have a pull string triggering his English/Spanish acceptance speech.

My friend,

Batteries are not even included on this action figure. I think that "authentic English/Spanish translation" might be a bit of a stretch. Perhaps that will be available in the second generation model.
