I win.

If we're gonna use fiction...

This guy's about 5000 years old:

I think Moses wins - being that there's no wide agreement that either he or Jesus are "fictional" as persons.

We were talking about fictional characters to begin with, and the ages of the actors who played them at the time the action figure for the character hit the market. The Jesus action figure was sort of expected after the Mozart and Beethoven figures got tossed into the mix (or, at least, I expected to see it) but A) trying to top that with an animated character is stretching the original topic pretty far and B) the crack about Jesus as fiction is getting into territory more appropriate for TNZ than for this forum (which is for discussion of the Star Trek movie, as I'm sure you recall.)

Christopher Lee is 87?

Dude's aging well.

And currently filming a movie, with five others in post-production! Dude is a machine!

Nimoy is 78, not 77. The same age as Shatner.

And Moses and Jesus aren't? I'd assume the OP was looking for persons who are a. old and b. have an action figure depicting them at that age.

Apocalypse is a. a person (albeit in a fictional universe) and b. the figure is of him whilst extremely old. It's no less silly than Jesus and in fact actually meets more of the criteria in that the Jesus figure is of him in his 30s.

This whole debate is verging into fiction...

Yeah, there's no way Christopher Lee is in his 80s.

Born May 27th 1922, that makes him 87 years old..

I remember watching him in the Hammer film horror movies in the sixties/seventies and he looked kind of old then (i was a kid).

Cool to see him back in action!

Not to mention a knight, since he's now Sir Christopher Lee.

Yet another record set: how many people have a knighthood and an action figure?

 

[Mike Farley]

Hmmm...

Christopher Lee
Alec Guinness
Sean Connery

 

[barnaclelapse]

Yeah, Lee was the first to pop into my head. He was appearing in Wars and Rings simultaneously. Lee currently has a figure on shelves based on Dooku from the Clone Wars series, and he's now 87. (But I don't know if that counts really since it's based on a cartoon based on him.)

I am going to be so damn sad when he dies...

Sebastian Shaw was in his late 70s in ROTJ? But wouldn't Anakin have only been in his late forties at that point?

 

[XXXTC]

Well - this is a bit of a stretch but I have seen that jesus christ action figure in the book and bible store. does that count?

 

[Broccoli]

Hmmm...

Christopher Lee
Alec Guinness
Sean Connery

Roger Moore, I believe had an action figure released of him a few years back.

As has already been pointed out, no, it doesn't, because I'm pretty sure it's a figure representing Jesus in his early 30s.
