Sideshow Remembers When Storm Shadow Didn’t Wear Sneakers
The next 12-inch Real American Hero has been revealed, and he’s neither American nor a hero (also, he’s not real, because he’s a toy). Storm Shadow, Cobra’s resident ninja, will be available for pre-order from Sideshow on February 27th; he’s limited to 1000 pieces, so I imagine he’ll go pretty quick, even if he does cost $120. When it comes to ninja, you really get what you pay for.

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.
