Poester NK drops this terrifying…thing upon our unsuspecting heads.
Writes NK:
I came across this at a Walmart in Austin, Texas, the other day, and it was just so bad I had to share. At first, I thought it was just a mangled toy that got returned and stuck back out on the shelf instead of being returned to the manufacturer, but then I took a second look and realized it was a hairless, repainted GI Joe ROC Baroness.
Holy crap. I mean…holy crap. Who does this? How much effort did they go through when we all know the Walmart employees wouldn’t have noticed if he just stuck a regular Baroness in there?
And how disturbing is that leathery-looking painted chest? Looks like an action figure of Grace Jones based on her appearance at her own house yesterday. Yikes. Yikes. May this dickhole suffocate in his own flatulence for unleashing this horror upon us.
