Firefly Always Packs Too Much
 |
?I’ve oohed and aahed over Sideshow’s 12-inch G.I. Joe figures before, but looking at their newest release, Firefly… well, ooh and fucking aah. Not only is he a great looking figure — and mad as hell, if his furrowed brow is any indication — but look at all that shit he comes with! From ToyNewsI:
? Pro Body 1.1 with over 30+ points of articulation
? Firefly portrait
?
Detailed grey camouflage top with hood
? Detailed grey camouflage pants
? Detailed belt
? Goggles
? Tactical kneepads
? Boots
? Grey waterproof gaiters
? Grey knit top
? SMG magazine pouch
? Triple magazine pouch
? Radio pouch
? Compass pouch (x2)
? SMG with silencer
? SMG magazines (x4)
? Boot knife with sheath
? Flash bangs (x2)
? Smoke grenades (x2)
? Backpack
? Fragmentation grenades (x5)
? Mines (x4)
? Suitcase bomb
? Radio detonator
? Three sets of interchangeable gloved hands
? 12-inch display base with Cobra logo

Who needs two fucking compass bags?! Madness. I have no idea how any Joe fan could resist these things, assuming they weren’t flat broke. If you aren’t broke, you can pre-order him here.

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.
