Jessica Chobot Action Figure = My Economic Stimulus Package
Our benevolent leader George W. Bush is apparently going to hook us all up with a little more loot this tax season in his economic stimulus package in hopes of getting us to go out and spend a little bit more. Since I’ll be able to pay off all my bills with my tax return alone, I decided I should use some of my tax return loot (whenever it arrives) to inject our economy with some good ole’ fashioned irresponsible spending so that my money would go to the wasteful use that George W. Bush intended (let’s ignore the fact that I bought an SLR earlier this month for self-birthday gifting).
The lovely Miss Jessica Chobot of IGN/AskMen fame is being immortalized through a limited edition (250) polystone “action figure/statue” based on an anime-like version of her. It kind of looks like her, but since she’s cartoon-ized, one’s imagination has to go a little ways to make it work.
Anyways, I’ve always wanted to have one of these expensive big action figures when I see them in comic book stores. A couple times, I’ve almost pulled the trigger on a classic Batman or Wolverine, not really because I need them, but just because it seems like it would be something that would brighten your day when you see it looking all regal sitting atop your toilet.
However, I’m not really into comic books (though I like them), so I never get one because I don’t want someone to call me out and say that I’m a poser just because I got a cool Spawn action figure because I thought it looked cool. In a Jessica Chobot action figure, I figure that this is a super hero that I’m actually a really big fan of and I actually know a good deal about this crime fighter and her IGN Mailbag adventures.
So what did I do? I ordered one from Symbiote Studios. Economy = Stimulized.
Is it weird to order a $50 action figure of someone who is essentially your co-worker?
Yes, it is.
Except this co-worker is very hot and one of the coolest girls on the Internetz!
Yes, it is still a little weird, but I’ve always been a little borderline…
I’ve wanted to have a “cool desk” at work for a while, but never really had the money to get anything cool. Thanks to George W. Bush, I’ll be a Domokun doll and an authentic Pimp Cup from Kitson away from having a completely hooked up desk after my Jessica Chobot action figure comes in the mail!
I thought about waiting until Comic-Con, where I believe Symbiote will be selling a few of the figures IRL (in real life), if they have any left from the pre-order, but I am worried that other Chobot fanboys will be waiting in line for their very own Chobotimus Prime and I will be left with nothing. NOTHING! Missing out on getting one of these action figures would be like missing a Carrie Underwood concert! (I would literally die)
I have no idea when it’s going to ship, but I’m pretty excited about getting it. Partially because it looks pretty awesome, but more because I think it is going to be one of the most coveted items in the office once it arrives. Maybe I should glue her to my desk?
Thank you, Symbiote Studios. Thank you, Jessica Chobot for being so pretay. And thank you, George W. Bush, for stimulating my economy.
Mmmm… voluminous Chobot action figure hair…
Ok, this post is a little creepy. It’s 1:30 in the morning. I apologize.
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.

I still have no idea who that woman is, but you talk about her so much I feel like she must be someone important, and I feel bad about myself for NOT knowing.
Also, I’m totally thinking of going to Comic Con this year; I did the whole soap opera fan weekend experience in the nineties (don’t ask), and this just seems like the next logical step… have you been before? Tell me all about it!
This woman, no joke. has some of the sexiest toes you’ve ever seen on a woman and she may not even be aware of it.
