Plakit Thematrix Agentsmith Merged

The Matrix gave cinema one of its great deadpan villains, and this figure renders him in the chunky vinyl-collectible idiom: dark suit, straight tie, coiled wire behind the ear, and the mirrored shades that never come off. Proportions are pushed rather than realistic, with an oversized head, planted feet and simplified suit folds, so the character reads instantly from across a room. That stylisation suits the subject. Agent Smith is a programme wearing a person, and the appeal of him in figure form is the stillness rather than any action pose. He simply stands there being unimpressed with you. Supplied as a small multi-part display kit, it belongs on a shelf of film collectibles, a desk beside a monitor, or among other stylised figures where the joke lands on recognition alone.
