Darkish Horse and Naughty Canine are collaborating on a limited-edition bust depicting Joel from The Final of Us angrily wielding a brick. It stands 8.5 inches tall, prices $149.99, and may be very dangerous.
“Clutching the ever-reliable brick, Joel stands battle-worn but decided, clad in his signature inexperienced flannel and weathered backpack,” the press copy reads, maybe too severe by half for such a foolish collectors merchandise. “Whether or not used as a weapon or a well-timed distraction, the brick is a vital software in Joel’s struggle for survival.”
Who is that this for? I can’t think about even probably the most die-hard The Final of Us fan — an individual I by no means wish to meet, to be actually actual with everybody — wanting this harsh, bearded man on show of their dwelling. What are you going to do, put it up subsequent to your niece’s child photographs and that good little portray you got from an area artist finally week’s farmers market? The Final of Us is violent, generally to a hyperbolic diploma, however I believe ol’ Bricky Joel right here would nonetheless draw back threatening to demolish grandma’s urn and unfold her ashes on the fireside mantle.
All that mentioned, it’s nowhere close to as dangerous because the “Ellie with switchblade” bust the 2 corporations launched final 12 months, and that unfortunate-looking statue offered out. I don’t consider myself as a snob, however should you welcome me into your property and I see both of those grumpy dorks on show wherever outdoors of your teenager’s room, I’m making up an excuse and leaving early.
