COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT FOR ONE LAST IRONIC TOY PURCHASE
Good lord, we’ve just achieved our first toy-triggered erection since we cuddled the Cream plush goodbye for the last time.
He is 15 inches tall, so would be a commanding presence on any middle-aged man’s mantelpiece. More stuff about it here.

‘Subject to final approval’ it says, bottom right.
Is giving Zorg an erection not approval enough these days?
However, the blue one comes with motion blur even when he’s standing still.

If I was flush enough to buy this, I’d spend the extra twenty to get the version that lights up.

I’m not sure, but I think adding lights to it (although making it look slightly cooler) makes it seem more like a toy and less like a valid piece of ‘art’ – having it light up would make it more difficult to convince people it wasn’t just a plastic toy for kids/manchildren but a proper piece of modern pop-art that’s an investment for the future.
Like if you embedded Blue LEDs in the Venus de Milo, you wouldn’t really be improving it.

The National gallery would be much less boring if they added a few coloured LEDs.

No update today. Zorg must have been outside an Apple store queuing for a new iPhone all day.
