Everybody Into the (Dead)Pool
 |
?It’s not a Marvel Legends-sized multipack, alas, but if you’re at all a fan of the Deadpool Corps, your only option to get toy versions of Deadpool, Championpool, Lady Deadpool, Kidpool and Headpool is to get your ass up to the New York Comic Con from October 13-16th and stop by the Action Figure Xpress booth (or know someone who’s going to NYCC and ask them nicely [or just scour eBay afterwards (you have options, is all I’m saying)]). It’s $20, which isn’t bad for four figures and a bonus severed head, really. I love this little set, but I cannot possibly tell you how much it bothers me that his name is “Kidpool” instead of “Kiddiepool.”

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.
