New Doctor Who Figures Include Kylie Minogue
And I and several thousand gay men are extremely happy.
The figures, made by the U.K.’s Underground Toys, are from the recent Voyage of the Damned Doctor Who Christmas Special, and (obviously) include the Doctor, two Hosts (killer robots who look like angels, natch) and Kylie as Titanic waitress Astrid Peth (the original boat, not some spaceship).
The toys are due in March in the U.K. and god only knows if/when they’ll make it to the States. (Via Toymania)
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.
