“Being rich in potassium doesn’t make her feel any better. Everyone who steps on her peel slips and falls. She is pursued by terrible monkeys and is constantly baked in pies.”
Meet Sergio Ng’s Suicidal Banana, which will be a 6-inch, hand-painted resin toyline later this year. 10 Bananas, all trying to off themselves in different ways, have been planned. If you have ever wanted to revel in the misery of fruit, make sure to keep a close watch on Sergio’s website here. (Via Plastic and Plush)

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.
