McFarlane Continues Acts of Guitar Heroism
Oh, you didn’t think they were finished with only one Guitar Hero action figure series, did you? Of course not. McFarlane will release a new set in early 2009 of Judy Nails, Izzy Sparks, Slash (not pictured because he looks like Slash), Lou (last name possibly Siffer) and Metalhead, the robot I had not seen before but instantly love (I’m a sucker for robots wearing German military caps, what can I say). As you can see from the pics, these 6-ish figures continue to have the miracle of articulation, the amazing process recently discovered by McFarlane Toys which allows figures to be posed in different ways.

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.
