New York Toy Fair: One Star Wars Theory of Evolution
Have you seen any of the Star Wars Evolutions three-packs? Where they take one character or group (e.g., Anakin, or the Sith, etc.) and throw in three figures that show how he/she/they changed over the six movies. I can’t help but wonder if Hasbro has already run out of idea.
Fett Legacy: Some dude who’s possibly a Mandalorian warrior, yet another Jango Fett, yet another Boba Fett
Padme Amidala: Overdressed young teen in geisha make-up, hottie in her one action sequence, knocked up older teen
Rebel Pilots: Chick, Vagina-faced Alien, Douchebag
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.
