True story: I loved action figures as a kid. I know, not to surprising given my overall continued tomboy tendencies. But I LOVED them. I could play quietly for hours, lost in my own fantasy world where my Han Solo figure bickered with my Buck Rogers figure and Princess Leia went ahead and rescued Superman instead. My childhood fantasy world was kind of awesome. But being a geek then was different than being a geek now. Now it has a cache. Geeks, like bowties – if you ask The Doctor, are cool. But then, geeks were geeks. So it’s with a slightly bemused sense of satisfaction when I watched all the pretty ladies clamor to get their geek on last weekend weekend at Comic-Con.So in celebration of everyone’s inner and outer geek, here are some lovely ladies getting geeky. Geekery, it’s not just for geeks anymore.
Alyson Hannigan
Willow will always be my favorite geek. Always.
Anna Torv
These should be Special Agent Olivia Dunham action figures, but otherwise, perfect.
Lucy Lawless
When lesbian subtext and geek fandom collides.
Anika Noni Rose
So this is kind of more of a “doll,” but Anika looks so happy to be holding herself it’s pretty geeky.
Meryl Streep
This is her “Fantastic Mr. Fox” figure. If there was a real Meryl Streep action figure I would buy two. One to keep new in the box and another to play with. Wait, that sounded weird. Good.
Elizabeth Mitchell
These aren’t technically action figures either, but getting this excited about your cake doppelgangers is's adorageeky.
Yvonne Strahovski
Also, not an action figure. But it’s a light saber. So, you know, even better.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Buffy is using Darth Vader as an armrest. Your argument is invalid.
Felicia Day
If Felicia in a squid hat doesn’t brighten your day, then you are probably not a geek.
Natalie Portman
Geeks and politics, two great things that go great together.
Karen Gillan
Now that is how you play with action figures.
Britt Robertson, Maggie Q, Yvonne Strahovski, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Morrison & Anna Torv
I don’t know who Britt Robertson is, but otherwise, GEEKGASM.
