161 Mickey

Mickey is a parody of the Sin City comic book and movie character called Marv.  He is the main character.  In the movie, he is played by Mickey Rourke -- hence the TDD name.  Sin City was written by Frank Miller, and the 2005 movie was directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez.

This was certainly a bold choice for TDD to put in the toyline.  After all, Marv is an anti-hero who has no trouble murdering those who have wronged him.  Plus the movie is rated R.  It is certainly strange to see toys that are (supposedly) marketed to children mimicking characters from R-rated films.  (There are probably ten TDD that fit this description, with Evan and Cheeze being among the most egregious.) 

Still, Mickey is a great late-series fourth generation figure.  I love how they gave him the scars and bandages to mimic how beat up Marv was in the movie.  Plus they painted the figure in greyscale to mimic the black-and-white style of both the graphic novel and movie.  

Mickey was part of the very last series of Tech Deck Dudes -- the only series to come out in 2009.  There were eight figures total in the series.  Three were slight repaints of characters and sculpts that already existed.  The other five were brand new.  You can tell this series was a bit of a "burn-off" since five of eight figures were completely new.  Most series had an average of only two new figures per eight, with the rest being either repaints or just repacks.

On the other hand, they kinda wrapped up the toyline on a high note.  There are some really great parodies that made it into this series.
