The George Miller masterpiece that is 'Mad Max: Fury Road' has redefined the term "action film" as the world knows it. The movie features non-stop action sequences and an epic car chase across a post-apocalyptic desert, and has a storyline that is remarkably easy to understand.
The film also has several memorable characters, including Charlize Theron's female road warrior Imperator Furiousa and the formidable presence of Hugh Keays-Byrne as Immortan Joe.
Perhaps the most easily recognizable character in the movie is the Coma Doof Warrior, who wields a flame-throwing guitar and provides the war music for Immortan Joe's party. The guitarist was played by Australian actor/musician iOTA. The Doof Warrior has been mentioned in social media several times by netizens who want to have their own amplifier-covered Doof Wagon.

It looks like prayers have been answered. LEGO builder Will has just released a series of 'Mad Max: Fury Road' war vehicles, which includes the Doof Wagon complete with its own army of drummers. The vehicle also has a tiny Coma Doof Warrior and has a set of functioning speakers.
The Doof Wagon can be connected to devices and used as a personal speaker. Flame-throwing guitar not included.
The Coma Doof Warrior is obviously one of Miller's favorite characters, with the director creating an entire backstory for the guitar player. Miller also expressed the intention to make a prequel comic book for the character.
"I want to tell a story about him in a comic if there's an opportunity," the director said. "For me, it was all about how someone who is blind survives in this place. How does someone weak survive the apocalypse? He survived because he was blind - because he lived deep in an unlit mine, where it was an advantage to be blind."
The Doof Warrior is discovered by Immortan Joe while the former is playing his guitar in the mine, and the rest is history.
