Edward Snowden action figure makes for toy whistle-blower
分享到
Edward Snowden, the famed NSA whistle-blower, already has been cast as the hero in a video gamethat has him collecting sensitive information while avoiding government capture. Now, he can be the hero of more tactile game play with his arrival in the form of an action figure from thatsmyface.com. The action figure goes for $99 and comes with a 12-inch articulated body (movable joints) in your choice of clothes. Options include a brown military outfit, a casual set with jeans and a t-shirt, a business suit, or an Indiana Jones get-up complete with a whip and messenger bag. For obvious reasons, you should order the Indiana Jones version if you're going to buy this thing. If you have a 12-inch, headless action figure laying around, then you can order just the interchangeable head for $60. The made-to-order head is crafted from resin. Thatsmyface.com says it will donate all proceeds from the action figure's sale to the Freedom of the Press Foundation. A disclaimer notes that neither the foundation nor Edward Snowden is involved with or endorsing the action figure. The Edward Snowden action figure joins a list of unlikely toy heroes, including Mark Zuckerbergand Steve Jobs. The best part probably comes when you start to mix your Snowden figure in with your "Star Wars" toys. Snowden could then be involved with exposing Darth Vader's top-secret spying efforts on board the Death Star, which would be totally amazing. |
据美国CNET网站报道,爱德华•斯诺登是远负盛名的美国安全局告密者,目前在一个视频游戏中他被制作成一位收集敏感信息并且逃避政府抓捕的英雄。现在,随着thatsmyface.com网站以他为原型制作玩偶,他成了一个可以触摸到的英雄。 这种人物玩偶售价为99美元,身体有12英寸高,可以按个人喜好搭配各种衣服。其中有棕色的军事装备,牛仔裤和T恤随便搭配的便装,带有皮鞭和邮差包的印第安纳•琼斯圣战士全套装扮。显而易见的,如果你想买这个人物玩偶,你可以把印第安纳•琼斯全套装扮一起买上。 如果你有12英寸高无头的躯干模型,你可以仅仅花60美元购得头。这种特制的头是用树脂做的。 Thatsmyface.com网站称其会将所有该人物玩偶的收益用于新闻自由基金(Freedom of the Press Foundation)。有免责声明称,该基金和斯诺登本人都没有授权该人物玩偶。 爱德华•斯诺登人物玩偶加入了一系列其他的玩具英雄,包括马克•扎克伯格和史蒂夫•乔布斯。如果你把斯诺登人物玩偶和星球大战的玩偶结合起来最好不过了。斯诺登会卷入星球大战中,并且在死亡之星上从事暴露达斯•维德的最高秘密的间谍工作,那将会棒极了。 (译者 zhaoweina1993 编辑 丹妮) |
