Beastie Boys Action Figures Now on Sale

The action figure versions of the Beastie Boys made for the trio's Spike Jonze-directed video for "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" are now available for purchase from the group's official website. The toys, which will come as a set of three 11.5 inch dolls complete with a number of outfits and accessories, are being produced as a limited edition set by Nowhere Ltd. and Bathing Ape.

The Beastie toys won't come cheap. Each set will cost $750, with all of the proceeds going to the Pablove Foundation and Alex's Lemonade Stand, two charitable organizations dedicated to fighting childhood cancer.

You can watch the dolls – which boast incredible likenesses of the rappers and are just generally extremely cool – in action in the "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" video below.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
