Belated SDCC: G.I. Joe Gets Mighty Mugged
Hasbro’s really invested itself in its Mighty Muggs line; at SDCC, they revealed both an Optimus Prime Mugg (which looks like crap, actually?there’s just too much lost in translation between the giant robot truck to the simple Mighty Muggs body) and four G.I. Joe Muggs (which, as you can see, look totally fucking awesome). Besides Cobra Commander?who might actually be the coolest Mighty Mugg made, after Lando Calrissian?and Snake Eyes, there’s Duke and Storm Shadow, which you can see in package below. (Via ToysREvil)

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.
