I'm not really sure where to begin with this, I just have so many questions. Why is this girl smiling when she has a guitar embedded in her torso? Does she come with a change of outfits or do you have to buy them separately? Does she know leg-warmers are fashionably dead? Why didn't the creaters give her an ass? What demographic are they marketing this mess to? Why is White-Afro-Man wearing sunglasses indoors? Is he available for purchase too? And most importantly, where the hell is the rest of the guitar?
