| YORK vs NSYNC? Separating the man from the boy-band? It's up to you. Okay, so Fresh Jive's producing a very limited run of some very life-like Mike York dolls, to be distributed as promos to about a thousand very lucky shops around the country. Straying from the recent "skatedoll" formula, they're more like GI Joe battle figures with a detailed bust of Mike's face (right down to the five o'clock shadow) applied to them. We checked out the prototype, and couldn’t help but notice that it looked kinda similar to those NSYNC dolls that teenage girls around the world have been eating up lately, only with a few fundamental differences. Below are some of those differences that separate the man from the boy-band. • NSYNC dolls come equipped with high fashion dance threads and microphones. • York doll comes equipped with riot gear, a rambo knife and a freakin' shotgun. • NSYNC dolls are next in line for a Milk Moustache campaign. • York doll serves up Chocolate Pow! to any fools who step. • York doll pulls frontside crooked grinds in Barbie's pool. • NSYNC dolls have a razor scooter expansion pack available upon request. • NSYNC dolls sing the hit "I want you back" • York doll hollers "Yo, I got your back!!!" as it pops off a couple warning shots. • York dolls will be in demand long after the first batch is released, and many folks who want them will never get their hands on one. • In about a year, NSYNC will fall off, leaving a multitude of warehouses full of unsold dolls in their wake. Not long after, another boy band will rise up so that the dolls can be repackaged, recycled and fed to the next generation of hungry teeny boppers. —Bob K. |
