The Good Halves of the New Star Wars Comic Two-Packs
Oh, Hasbro. Don’t think you’re fooling us. We enjoy your comic two-packs, but we know full well that you’re usually giving us one good figure and one crap figure; we’ve accepted this. So here are the three new two-packs to come out of the New York Toy Fair:
? Kyle Katarn, Stormtrooper-murdering hero of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, along with hulking Yuzhan Vong
? The sexy female imperial Knight Sigel Dare, with bad Sauron cosplayer Darth Krayt from the Star Wars Legacy comics
? A sexy, sleeveless Luke Skywalker, holding what apparently is a lightsaber shortsword and an unfortunately droopy yellow lightsaber, along with some chick called Lumiya, from some old Marvel comic
If you want to see the unseen, I recommend the official Star Wars blog’s Flickr account. Oh, and Dare isn’t a giant, it’s just how the pics worked out. Sorry for the confusion.

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.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
