Pimpin’ Lando Returns With Friends
Entertainment Earth just updated a truckload of new Star Wars toys, including some Mighty Muggs I didn’t see at the New York Toy Fair.
Wave 3 includes the phenomenal Lando, along with a pretty snazzy Leia for him to mack on, and a totally boring Jango and Clone Trooper.
Wave 4 has an awesome Bespin Luke with pink-eye, a so-so Grievous and Emperor, and a shockingly intimidating Yoday. Seriously, with his smug, aggressive look and huge head, I’m genuinely worried he’s going to sexually assault me or something. And get away with it. You can pre-order each set of four for $50 over here, along with rather disappointingly tame maquettes of animated-style Darth Maul and old Obi-Kenobi.

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.
