It’s Hammer Time

?And this time, it’s not a Thor reference! Instead, Titan Merchandising sent me pics of their upcoming Hammer Horror Masterpiece Collection mini-busts, and, as with all merchandise I would happily kill one or more of my readers for, I feel compelled to show them to you guys. That’s Christopher Lee as Dracula in the middle, of course, Peter Cushing as Van Helsing on the left, and Ingrid Pitt as the sexy/blood-bathing/sexily blood-bathing Elizabeth Bathory from Countess Dracula. They’re $80 each, Dracula’s due out in October, and the other two in November. If it makes you guys feel any better, I’d probably draw the line at murdering three of you for these things, one for each bust. I mean, I’m not a monster.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
