A Mugg-ful of Dooku
Sorry for the title, but my pun options for Mighty Muggs toy were exhausted back in April. At any rate, you’re looking at Wave 5 of the Star Wars Mighty Muggs line, and while Asajj Ventress, Clone Wars Anakin and Commander Rex are nice, I’m tingling all over thanks to the Count Dooku figure. This set will be out in September (you can pre-order ’em here) but two more sets will be released before the end of the year with a new Darth Vader, a Hoto Han solo, Darth Revan, Grand Moff Tarkin, Plo Koon, and a new Darth Maul.
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.
