Hot Toys Is Wacko for Jacko
I’m not under the impression that any TR readers would actually like to buy a set of Hot Toys’ Michael Jackson-themed set of Cosbabies, but I did feel duty bound to let you know they exist, and will be out in Hong Kong in January (along with a terrifyingly realistic 12-inch Jackson figure in his “Billie Jean” outfit). At the very least, marvel at all the different (and yet accurate) flesh tones on the six figures. (Via Toys R Evil)
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.
