Why this man made an action figure of The Beatles' famous producer
A man's Beatles toy figure was spotted by Paul McCartney - and has now become official merch.
Figure-maker David McGurk created a mini George Martin – The Beatles’ producer who passed away in 2016 – and posted a photo of it on his social media.
The 46-year-old, who is a huge fan of the iconic band, was surprised to be contacted by Martin’s son Giles – also a talented record producer.
Giles asked for one which David sent to Abbey Road recording studio and it was spotted by Macca - who insisted it sit on a mixing desk during a session.
Stunned Giles was then asked to make 100 more - to go on sale at the Abbey Road Studios shop.
Giles, from Clydebank, Scotland, said: ''Giles he told me ‘I really like the figure of my dad, if you make any more, I’d like one’ so I thought right away ‘I’m going to do it’.
“I made a new George Martin figure, and I made one of Giles as well because I thought ‘I’ll put this in as a wee surprise’.
“I sent it down to Abbey Road which was crazy in itself.
“‘Can you just send it down and I’ll give you the address; it’s Abbey Road’ he said, as if I didn’t know!”
