Nearly headless? How can you be nearly headless?

Well, like this!
The fact that nearly headless nick is the only character portrayed by a Monty Python actor that has a minifigure form annoys me a bit.
I don't have every version, but I believe I did pick up this one to have my Ghostbusters capturing, along with other notables like Beetlejuice, the Men of the Mountain ghosts from LotR, and Moaning Myrtle. I need to dig out the Vitruvius ghost and add him to the mix, and if they ever release Jedi spirits...
Snape did it better.
Still think he looks like Billy Connolly, which isn't a bad thing:)
Benefit of Lego is it’s perfectly possible to disassemble him and give him his desire to be fully headless
So wholesome that they visited his death day in the 2nd book :)
I do enjoy having a John Cleese minifig! He pulls the “bring out your dead” cart in my medieval village.

I recall an interview with Connolly years ago, when he brought up first shaving off his beard. His reaction upon on seeing himself in the mirror was “F&@, I look like John Cleese”.
...deja vu...?

Though I do remember that Huw said on the first RMotD that, unlike Random Sets, there was no way to prevent a minifigure from being picked more than once for these. Still, it's notable that this is the first time it's happened!

Thank you! I was questioning reality because I was sure to have seen this fig already here. Heck, I learned about its glow in the dark style through his first appearance here.

Don't forget that ghost dog abomination from Hidden Side.

And we also all learned it's gone up ten cents in value. Probably not keeping up with inflation, though.

Nah, that’s Zero, from Nightmare Before Christmas.

$8.6 is the base, so the increase is (8.7-8.6)/8.6 = 1.1% over 80 days. Annualized, this number is 1.1% * 365/80 = ~5.3%.
Well above the FED target of 2%!

Nope. He’s the guy who died in Muppet Treasure Island.
