More Real Adorable Heroes
Screw you haters–I love the G.I. Joe Combat Heroes, and I’ll be showing you every single wave of ’em until the line ends or you bastards storm the Topless HQ, and pry my laptop from my cold, dead, sausage-like fingers. I can’t be the only one that likes ’em, because the series was only announced on Friday, and the wave is already sold out at Big Bad Toy Store (guess who didn’t pre-order in time? You fuckers). The line-up is, in case you can’t tell:
? Commando Snake Eyes Vs. Cobra Viper
? Shipwreck Vs. Crimson Guard
? Lady Jaye Vs. Major Bludd
? Gung Ho Vs. Cobra Commander (Hooded)
I’m not that excited about another Snake Eyes, but that Hooded Cobra Commander is pretty sweet. I’ve got my fingers crossed there’ll be a BAT in series 4.
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.
