James Dean, American Legend

James Dean left a legacy in the film world after completing only three films in a span of 18 months in the 1950s. This American Legend doll captures Dean's handsome good looks with a finely sculptured face and molded, slicked-back hair. He has a swivel neck so he can turn his head to one side in that disaffected way, and he is posed with his thumbs stuck in his dark blue jeans. His knees are jointed so he can be displayed with one black cowboy boot casually crossing the other. (A display stand is included.) He also wears his trademark red windbreaker (with functional zipper) and a perfectly plain white T-shirt. This was one cool dude. --Marcie Bovetz
