Did you know that George and Giles Martin have their own action figures?
When Giles Martin saw the action figure that designer David McGurk created of his father, George Martin, he liked it so much that he arranged for it to sell in the Abbey Road store. That limited run of 100 action figures sold out within hours.
David McGurk makes a variety of retro pop culture action figures through his company, Lightening Boltz Action figures. And George and Giles Martin aren’t the only Beatles-related figures he’s made. Some are of the Beatles themselves, but he also creates likenesses of people in the Beatles’ wider circle like Paul McCartney’s dad Jim Mac, and more recently, two versions of Brian Epstein.
David joined us to about his work; his love of the Beatles; and his recent experiences with Giles Martin, Abbey Road Studios, and even Paul McCartney himself.
