 | Skeletor. Michelle Yeoh. Some manga woman in surprisingly decorous school uniform wielding a sword.
Who in the Blue Hell buys these things? With actual money? Presumably the kids who might have made up the core audience of, say, the original Masters of the Universe figures can't afford these rather intricate reboots. Then again, mold technology has no doubt moved on. But nonetheless. Is there any kid out there who wants a Michelle Yeoh action figure? Surely not.
So, grown-ups. And, conversely, who fails to realise just how ridiculous a plastic homuncula is going to look on a mantelpiece? Display cabinets full of them? Little pet people to stroke and arrange and talk to?
Meep. Scared. So Scared. When I get home I'm going to have to share this horror with my Transformers. They'll understand.
