Phenomenal Swag: Yao Ming Transformer

By J.E. Skeets


'Phenomenal Swag' searches high and low across the Internets for NBA-related goods you never knew you needed. E-mail us any quirky products you find here.

Yao Ming Transformer
Cost: Priceless

You're ten years old and it's Christmas morning. Hallelujah! You race downstairs — taking two and three steps at a time — to count your presents under the tree. A quick tally shows one, two, three-four-five ... six. Nice! Six presents. We're in a recession, my Ash Ketchum!

All right, time to go to work. You start ripping through presents like a coke fiend and to your surprise you're getting exactly what you asked for. Odd. This never happens.

iPod? Check. iPhone? New bike? Check. Remote control car? Check. Surfboard? Check. This is incredible.

And now, down to your last present, you fully expect to end the greatest Christmas pull in history by adding that cool Optimus Prime Transformer you begged for. The box looks about the right size. It's got the right weight to it. And hey, Prime was at the top of your list. Highlighted. There's no way this isn't Prime ...

Unwrap, unwrap, unwrap ...


HEY! WHAT THE HELL!?!?!

Thanks to ShareBro kevcops for the tip.

    does a company mass produce those or did someone just make one by adding some pieces? Very interesting.

    I think the Marbury figure should turn into a jock strap - wait... jock straps are more supportive.
