Are Gorillaz the new Beatles or something? Because either people are really interested in owning plastic miniaturized versions of their favorite artists or marketing departments are doing a successful job of convincing us that dolls aren't just for kids anymore.

And leading the charge is Kidrobot, the toy design company behind the Gorillaz miniatures and, as of January 11, an 8 1/2-inch Madvillain figure. Stones Throw is collaborating with Kidrobot on the release of the toy, which, according to the label's website, will come in two colors (black and green) and has "big giant fists to knock you out with."

We will admit it's hard to complain about a feature like that.
