Genius
On the subject of TV-related merchandise it pretty much comes down to typically unimaginative selections of tee-shirts, mugs, and posters. Action figures and bobbleheads are sometimes included, leading a vast selection of toys if the show in question is, you know, for kids.
But then, listed on the NBC Universal Store website there’s this:
Which is pure fucking genius, even if, irritatingly, it’s a limited-edition, exclusive for the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con.

Talking of one of my favourite TV shows and favourite model companies, did you see this from Sideshow collectibles:

Yup it's lifesize (7 foot). And yup that is a price that's just short of eight thousand dollars!
Been to Comic-Con three times. The first year was great and was the first year Hollywood hit it big time (without pre-announcing they would). The second year was not fun - they preannounced the Hollywood celebrities and literally hundreds of thousands of people turned up, all trying to see interview panels in a room that only holds 6000 :-O The third year was even worse and my idea of hell. I wouldn't go again if you paid me obscene amounts of money, but have friends who still go each year so if you REALLY want that toaster let me know - I'm sure someone can get one for you.
That is... brilliant. I HAVE to have one...
I think I'd be eyeing it suspiciously, most of the time..
"Did you just see the toaster move..? Why is the inside pulsing red like that.."
Now I wish I was going to San Diego!
Brilliant...
Ian, oh that’s excellent. And, given the current exchange rate, not bad*.
A pal in LA went down to San Diego the year before last, I think it was, and said it took quite a time getting there and then was a real crush. I read somewhere that the BBC have a booth there, so.....
Of course there’s always the chance of bumping into this fellow who obviously sees the fun side to it all.
Thanks for the offer, but I think I’ll pass.
* This is based on anyone having four grand to spare.
