OT: curious M-Den item
I was rummaging through the M-Den website today and came across this U-M Fox Sports robot action figure for sale. What connection does Michigan have that Fox Sports would be making items for us with their logo?
Just seemed weird to me.

They own 49% of the Big Ten Network.

BCS(?)
this is likely one of those things where Fox rolls out items with NCAA licensing rather than a UM-Fox effort. similar to my Michigan Mr. Potato Head.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
..Barwis definitely has his work cut out for him.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
How's his pad level?
December 17th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
December 17th, 2010 at 12:54 PM ^
Also, that ball... is not high and tight, terrible ball security, we can work on that though.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
Arms are too short.
December 17th, 2010 at 11:57 PM ^
Or can we????
December 17th, 2010 at 12:37 PM ^
this is on my christmas list along with a GERG tickle beaver.

Looks a little too stiff in the hips for cornerback.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:17 PM ^
Recruiting gurus say he needs more brain flexibility.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
on field goals over 20 yards?
December 17th, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
Make fun of me all you want, but that is sick! That may have just made it on my Christmas wishlist. Plus, it never hurts to plan for your man-cave ahead of time...you know, for that day when I can afford one...and I have a house.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
Big Ten Network is partially owned by News Corp.(Fox)
Edit: Too slow.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
I'm sort of shocked/disappointed that it's out of stock.
December 17th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
And all stores are out of it and they said they may never get them back in.
Too bad.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
Robots are awesome, always.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:25 PM ^
No disassemble!
December 17th, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
Your mother was a snowblower.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
December 17th, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
OH GOD! I absolutely despise the FOX robots. I can't believe they are still around. How long has it been? Time to change things up Fox. Maybe they should contact Pentagram.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
my wife absolutely hates that robot.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:30 PM ^
My dad also despises it.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:24 PM ^
December 19th, 2010 at 12:29 AM ^
saw this when it aired...style is called "popping"
December 17th, 2010 at 12:45 PM ^
Always gets excited about the FOX robot when he sees it - calls it a transformer. can't imagine what he would say about one in M gear. really sas they are out of stock.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:02 PM ^

slightly cheaper if you create an account and in stock.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:17 PM ^
id rather have this
December 17th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
Or you can collect them all:

But which one of the 271 different MSU jersey versions should I buy?
December 17th, 2010 at 1:28 PM ^
The Iowa robot is powered by a hybrid system of lithium ion batteries and blow but generally is not harmful to the public. However Spartybot does have a glitch where it offends laws repeatably but any reprogramming must wait until the football season is finished.
December 17th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
Score! M-Den was out but just got two from that website.
Thanks for the link. +1 to you sir for helping me get my son an awesome birthday present.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:02 PM ^
at the Iowa game. Agreed that it's weird.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:31 PM ^
In searching for a cheaper option for the Michigan-Fox action figure, I found the below and I'm seriously considering ordering it under the assumption that it might bring good luck next season . . . Should I pull the trigger?
December 17th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
in a Michigan garden nome safe neighborhood
December 17th, 2010 at 1:34 PM ^
They stole TRSaunders avatar!
December 17th, 2010 at 1:44 PM ^
Can it kick field goals? Extra Points? Is it busy January 1st?
December 17th, 2010 at 2:20 PM ^
$30 for that thing? That's beyond ridiculous.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:50 PM ^
What a great deal!? I've heard some are asking $180,000 for this sort of talent.
December 17th, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
I'm going to buy them all so I can destroy them. That way, the Block M and the Winged Helmet will never be associated with that hideous and tacky monstrosity.
December 17th, 2010 at 4:25 PM ^
but I bet kids under the age of 12 would go ape over it, which is probably why it's out of stock.
December 17th, 2010 at 8:02 PM ^
I hate seeing that fox robot on sundays during NFL games
however, the Lions should be selling these toys
December 17th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
If somebody REEEEAAALLY wants one, I just saw a couple on the shelf today at campus den in woodland mall in G.R.
December 18th, 2010 at 7:39 AM ^
I was doing some Christmas shopping at the good ol' Bed Bath and Beyond in Grand Rapids tonight and it sounds like these robots fall in the "beyond" category because they had a crap load of them in stock... You might want to check it out.
December 19th, 2010 at 12:20 AM ^
uhhh...24.95?
