Accessorize Your Cell With Popular Movie Characters

by Caleb Johnson on August 9, 2009 at 03:22 PM


If you're a movie nut and love cutesy accessories, the Netsuke cell-phone strap is incredibly fitting. Now, everyone will know about your obsession with 'Rocky' or 'Edward Scissorhands.' (Because your phone certainly won't fit in a pocket once one of these miniature dolls is attached.)

The charms (which come from Japan, of course) stand about 3.3-centimeters tall and cost less than $9, according to walyou. Characters from a wide range of movies are represented, too. For those who love comedies, there's Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) from 'Beverly Hills Cop.' Frighten your coworkers by picking up the Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) charm from 'The Silence of the Lambs.' The best part (aside from how creepy a Kewpie-doll of Hannibal Lecter looks) is that they come with bonus material: special packaging with a picture of the character in the film and a trivia booklet filled with fun facts about the movie.

Collectors will be foaming at the mouth to get their hands on these movie miniatures. That being said, please leave these dolls on the shelf, folks. Carrying around a phone with a mini Eddie Murphy attached would look just plain ridiculous. Cell phone holsters are bad enough. [From: Walyou]
