Ever wonder what Kobe Bryant would like if he was made of hard plastic and shot with a shrink ray?
Wonder no more.
In commemoration of Kobe’s final NBA game, a Wednesday night tilt against the Utah Jazz, the Los Angeles Lakers will be giving away Mamba-inspired action figures to those sitting courtside (h/t CBS Sports):

Kobe “Final Game RoboJam” Bryant is somehow both wholly obscure and totally perfect.
From the looks of the picture, it seems that RoboKobe turns into a remote-controlled helicopter of sorts. That’s most definitely badass. It’s also the least the Lakers could do for the fans who paid upwards of five figures to take in the rotting basketball corpse of a fallen All-Star.
Perfects marks are given to the design of this action figure. Is he going to play basketball or save the world? We don’t know. But we do know Kobe the action figure is going to ride (fly?) out in style, donning a suit that was melded together using scrap materials from Iron Man’s and Optimus Prime’s war-worn bodysuits.
