As we write this, the Speed Racer Movie has not yet opened. We loved the original Speed Racer. We grew up idolizing Speed Racer and all he stood for -- speed and more speed. We PRAY to the animation gods that, in the new version, they don't screw it up. No matter that happens, though, these perfectly wonderful Bobble-Heads capture the essence of the original anime series. There are TWO figures in the set -- Speed Racer and Racer X. Speed Racer wears a helmet with adjustable visor, and Racer X strikes a stoic pose with his trademark goggles. The figures, which are 7 inches tall, come together in a cool box with Speed Racer graphics on it. We think it's a little cruel that Speed Racer holds the victory cup, while Racer X stands with clenched fists, obviously frustrated that he didn't win -- this time.
