All you need is love and a talking Lennon doll. There's news that Yoko Ono has licensed a John Lennon action figure which will be named "The New York Years" Lennon and that it will utter authentic phrases used by the former Beatle.
The National Entertainment Collectibles Association says this is the "first licensed Lennon done ever" -- which I guess means those bobble head collectibles from the sixties weren't licensed? This doll is of the modern Lennon, with profits going to Yoko and I would assume her designated charities.
Earlier this month, fans of the legendary musician gathered around the world to remember him on the 25th anniversary of his death. Lennon was shot and killed in 1980, at age 40, outside his New York apartment by a deranged fan.
The doll will be available in stores in the spring. The company's website necaonline.com has a picture and description of the 18-inch doll.
