Kurt Cobain and Nirvana's legacy live on through practically all rock music that happened after them, and what better way to celebrate that influence then with a collectible action figure in his likeness? NECA (National Entertainment Collectibles Association) has announced the release of a Kurt Cobain action figure, the first of its kind, to be in stores by late June. The statue is a replica of Cobain from the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video, complete with the blue Mustang guitar and his brown and green t-shirt. NECA have made many figures for movies like The Crow, Alein Vs. Predator, Freddy Vs. Jason, and Sin City. Now we can only keep our fingers crossed for a figure of Dave Grohl frocked in his Sunday finest from the "In Bloom" video. In other spinning-in-his-grave news, Elevation Partners, an equity group that includes U2's Bono, may become part owners of Nirvana's back catalog. The group is one of many who have been pursuing the deal after Courtney Love announced that she would be selling a 25 percent stake in the catalog, which includes songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit." www.necaonline.com
