Finally, an action figure based on the monolith from 2001!

What's the new toy that every little boy and girl wants to find under the tree this year? Why, it's the Monolith action figure! Actually, wait, no it's not.

Originally an April Fool's Day prank, ThinkGeek's Monolith action figure is now a real thing. based on the monolith from 2001: a Space Odyssey, it's pretty much a rectangle of plastic. But hey, that doesn't mean you can't have hours of fun with it! You'll just need to bring a whole lot of imagination to the table.
