Designer David McGurk on the George and Giles Martin Action Figures

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.
