V for Vendetta Mask – best seller for strange reasons
Posted on 07. Oct, 2008 by Jill in Action Toys
You’ve seen them in the newspapers and on the TV, wearing the masks and protesting outside of Scientology establishments – but do you know where they come from? Originally V for Vendetta was a ten issue comic book series but it was made into a popular film a few years ago. In a nutshell it is set in a dystopian future, after a nuclear war, when the UK is run by a totalitarian government. A mysterious figure called “V” is an anarchist revolutionary who wears the Guy Fawkes mask, during his elaborate campaign to bring down the government.
Whether you want to wear them in a protest rally, for Halloween, or just as a tribute to the film and books – the masks are available from Forbidden Planet Internationalfor just £4.99. They are the website’s current best sellers, but probably for stranger reasons than the Doctor Who 2007 Action Figures who almost match their sales!
