A couple of Saturdays ago, myself and a friend did a raid the Smyths toy store, off the Kinsale roundabout. He wanted lego to make mobile phone holders, and I wanted to find some failed action figures that they were desperately trying to sell off cheap.
So he got his bucket of [fake] Lego bricks (I think they were called "Nashikonika Fun Blocks" or something) and I spotted these wonderful Star Trek figures. Now, even though I hated the 2009 Star Trek film (The Nokia placement alone was enough to put Gene Roddenberry spinning in his grave at warp 9), I still couldn't resist the price tag. I managed to snag three figures in still in their packaging for €5!!! Sure, how could I not buy them at that price.
So we got home and he started building some monstrosity out of the "fun blocks" to cradle his phone and I began to unwrap the figures. We got talking about Myth Busters and how I reminded him of Jamie Hyneman (only with more hair on my head and less hair on my face I guess!). Then we started discussing Kari Byron from the show. We (or at least, I) thought that yes while she was indeed lovely, the whole "assistants" thing on the show was kinda crap (well didn't I tell you in the headline that this was a Super Mega Nerdy Saturday!)
So anyway, back to Star Trek figures. I couldn't believe it when I opened up the Sulu figure: it sported a rubber tunic! Such luxury, and all for only a fiver! As you can see from the picture of the Kirk figure above, the models also sport very fetching 6-packs (if thats what puts the dilithium into your warp drive). So with much haste, I opened the Cadet Uhura packing to see if she too sported a rubber outfit. And oh yes she did, not only a rubber tunic but a rubber skirt too, no less!
Oh no, it looks as if Uhura's skirt has fallen down around her ankles, how did that happen!?
Well that was one of my Saturdays recently anyway. Best €5 Saturday fun I had in ages, and I didn't even have to boil by cock in acid afterwards.
