The Dragon Age Is Also the Age of Mediocre Action Figures
 |
?Since everyone in my Twitter feed seems to be playing or have played Dragon Age: Origins, I assume Dragon Age action figures are of interest. They’re by DC Direct, due in September, and include Morrigan (above), Duncan, Genlock, and Loghain (which you can see over at ToyNewsI). I don’t think DC Direct put their “A” team on these guys — they’re not bad, they’re just kind of there. And when you compare them to DC Direct’s World of Warcraft figures, well, then these things look pretty bad. It’s nobody’s fault but your own, DC. Sorry.

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.
