MINIX Queen Freddy Mercury 105

Yellow jacket, white trousers, half a microphone stand.

The Live Aid silhouette, more or less — the outfit that has become shorthand for the most-discussed twenty minutes in stadium rock, and the stance that goes with it. MINIX have gone for the posture rather than the face, which is the right call: you recognise exactly who this is from the shoulders and the arm alone, before you've looked at anything else.

12 cm of officially licensed PVC, with the caricatured proportions that let a MINIX figure read clearly from the other side of a room. A display piece rather than a toy — no articulation, nothing to lose, just a well-painted thing to put on a shelf.

Perfect for: Anyone whose immediate physical response to the first four notes of Bohemian Rhapsody is to sit up slightly.
