Prisoner Number 98K514
Chris Keller

Because you asked for it, well, maybe you didn't.  But here it is anyway: the first action figure based on the HBO prison drama, Oz. This one is very much my fault.  I say those guys in their cells or pods and thought of action figure playsets.  Who wouldn't?

This action figure is the most sophisticated of Jared's creations.
He designed a box to match those that display the higher end GI Joes.  I provided him with a lot of photos from the various Oz dedicated websites.  He designed the door art himself.

Chis Keller comes with a bucket, a towel and a shank.  We sent it to the actor who portrays the character, Christopher Meloni.  I have several accounts that he got a big kick out of it.

The following is the text on the back of the box:

Oz.  The name given by inmates for the Oswald State Correctional Facility.  Within its walls society has placed its most dangerous offenders.  From drug dealers and gangsters to murderers and rapists, Oz is home to them all.  Life here is often short and violent.  Pray that your path never crosses those of its inhabitants.
Yet within the confines of Em City, Oz’s special advanced cell block, one finds the totality of the human condition played out among the inmates.  Love, hate, greed, rage, sacrifice, obsession, nobility, humiliation, dignity.  Oz has seen it all.
n 1997, HBO debuted a series like no other, “Oz.”  This critically acclaimed series presents an unflinching look at the lives of inmates doing hard time, and represents the cutting edge of television drama...

Coming Soon: The Pod Playset!

The following is the text on the inside of the box:

Prisoner Number 98K514
Chris Keller
Convicted June 16, 1998 felony murder, attempted murder (2 counts), assault with deadly weapon, robbery, reckless driving, driving under the influence. Sentence: 88 years. Up for parole in 50. 
n the eyes of the law, Chris Keller is a petty crook and con man.  In actuality, he is a brutal killer who had murdered several gay men before his incarceration in Oz.  As his new environs provide sanctuary from the eyes of wary Federal investigators, Keller becomes embroiled in the many machinations of Em City.
In his youth, Keller shared prison time with the supremely evil Vern Schillinger, who finds the perfect pawn in his war with Tobias Beecher.  He convinces Keller to befriend only to lead to his ultimate betrayal.  All of Schillinger’s plans proceed as expected, with one unexpected element; Keller eventually falls in love with his prey.
As Keller attempts to win back the trust and love of the only person he has ever truly cared for, he must constantly wrestle with the day to day horrors of life in Oz, as well as his own powerfully manipulative nature, which often proves a more dangerous adversary to his cause than any flesh and blood opponent.

Currently in the collection of Christopher Meloni.
