Martial Arts Morpheus

The Matrix Morpheus!

One of my favorite movies is The Matrix. I remember leaving

the movie and thinking I could jump around like they did in

the move. I couldn't but I felt like I could. I still like the first

movie the best! Lawrence Fishburne played Morpheus

and he played him in all three movies.

Out of the box but what did I do with his belt?

I don't think if the doll was released in time for the movie.

I think it came out later. I didn't like the look of the other

dolls in the Matrix series. I bought the Martial Arts Morpheus

doll only. Well, actually I bought three. One that I play with,

and one that stays in the box. The other doll had an accident.

I tried to remove the dark shadow on the face and the face

paint came off. His African American complexion is painted

on and not a part of the complexion of the head. Bummer!

"If your paint comes off in the Matrix, does is come off in real life?"

Yes! Yes It Does."

I haven't decided what to do with this doll.

So I had to buy and new one to play with.



Out of the box and re-dressed
There were two versions of each of the 12 inch dolls in the line,

one of them unplugged in the ratty sweater and pants, (I

think I have enoughratty doll clothes to not purchase any!)

and one of them in the Matrix where the clothers were

more flashy. This is the Martial Arts Morpheus and

he is dressed in a black and white gi (pronounced "gea").

This outfit comes from my favorite scene were Neo has

just learned Jujitsu and he is ask to show what he has

learned. "Morpheus is fighting Neo" is what

one of the shipmates yell! They all come running to see. T

he music for the scene is fast and frantic. They are fighting

in a computer program similar to the Matrix. Morpheus is

trying to teach Neo through the fight to let himself

go, that you mind is unlimited and that you are the"one".

"Free Your Mind" I feel like jumping around ... hold on!

Larry Fishburne is a private guy so he is

not going to wear a swim suit but he opped for

this diving suit.

The comparisons-

He is shorter that Ken dolls

and a tad taller than GI Joe action figures.

He doesn't understand the "secret" part of

Secret Service!

He is also a little slimmer than GI Joe action figures.

His hands are larger than Ken's hand. They don't

come off like Power Team hands. He needs the shirts

with cuff that snap closed.

His feet are closer to



Ken size, which for me is good because I have more Ken size

clothes and shoes. I mostly have GI Joe uniforms and boots.

You can make Joe boots fit most dolls and action figures but

I can't say the same for ken shoes!

So what do you think? Does he look like the actor to you?

Let me know!
