Mattel Does Evil
Not actual evil, mind you. In fact, they’ve pretty damn good to the nerdy adult collector. Much like with this Justice League Unlimited 4-pack of Gotham villains, including an awesome Scarecrow (check out the noose around his neck), a new and improved Harley Quinn figure, the Clock King (who I thought was Lex Luthor until I noticed he had glasses) and finally, Bane, who no one likes, but whatever. This set will be available on Mattel’s MattyCollector.com site for $30 in 2009. (Via ToyNewsI)
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.
