THE BEATLES
「CAN’T BUY ME LOVE」
1000% KUBRICK SET
Infinitely influential to contemporary pop music and generations of musicians, The Beatles continues to change the visage of pop culture and contemporary culture for decades on end. Their uber famed single ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ anchored top of the charts in both the U.K. and U.S. immediately after its release in March 1964.
SILLY THING proposed the ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ 1000% Kubrick project to Medicom Toys and The Beatles around two years ago, and it is not until winter 2008 that it has come to its final stage. The plan is to produce the oversized 1000% Kubrick figures of the four members of The Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) based on their characters in ‘The Beatles’ cartoon shown every Saturday on ABC Channel in America between 1963 and 1965. With the 680mm height, they could be the biggest The Beatles collector’s toys ever. At a time when the crossover of pop culture and art are more and more recognized, The Beatles ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ 1000% Kubrick Set makes a delightfully light-hearted investment.
