Just What I Needed!

From commenter Ratus we have the following marvelous toy:

Monolith Action Figure

The title of the e-mail in which this magical information was conveyed to me?

"I think this might help with those VC's with Kevin"

Everyone's a comedian...

That is all.

I'm guessing it was an April Fool's Day joke, as evidenced by the "Zero articulating joints!" sticker on the package...

Yea, Jay it a joke.

But at least one of their April fools jokes the "Tauntaun sleeping bag" (http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/bb2e/ ) was made into a real product.

"Availability: Europa"....

What's the postage to ship it here from Europa...?

And if it isn't 1/18th scale, then what the heck good is it....

TMA-1 = Tycho Magnetic Anomaly 1
The NASA-esque name for the slab that was found on the moon. The one in orbit around Jupiter/Saturn was TMA-2, IIRC.
The reason for Jupiter/Saturn: Depends on whether you are using the movie or the book for reference.

Ugh. I'm a Sci-Fi nerd...
