New York Toy Fair: Accoutrements is the Bacon of Toy Companies
Which is to say that Accoutrements is delicious, good any time, and makes everything better. And I’m not just saying that because Accoutrements (makers of fine, extremely random action figures) makes bacon-flavored toothpicks, bacon-flavored dental floss, and bacon band-aids. I’m saying it because they also make this:
For those poor bastards who don’t understand the glory of bacon, Accoutrements makes these hard workers…
…and this go-getting young chimp, who’s named Cap’n Danger.
They also had one other item that has delighted me to the core of my being, but I’m saving it for the “Best of Toy Fair” I will write today or tomorrow.

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.
