Destructoid gets around like herpes

As seen on underaged boobs: Apparently there's a Fall Out Boy T-Shirt with four Japanese Smoking Robot figures on it [source withheld!].  Lucky us!  At least it's not a EmoBandname #32 shirt. Domestic takeovers aside, it seems that it is still very big in Japan. Seth visited the motherland of video games last year and snapped these amazing images of our crested cousin all around town. He writes:

I recently got back from Tokyo and thought you might be interested to know that Japan is currently in a Dtoid fit. I spotted the dtoid robot many times over, and when possible snapped it too. Many times they were inside some store or other place where photography wasn't allowed so didn't catch them all (so to speak).

The first was in a toy shop in Harajuku and was about $100. The others were in Hakone (in the mountains) and were advertising a toy museum. I'm particularly fond of the head in the tower. Very foreboding.

Indeed. Can you imagine the shock these poor people are going to be in when we attend attack the Tokyo Game Show?  Japan is so not ready, despite the numerous omens told by their ancestors.

I like the one in the tower the most, it's actually a shade of green close to the Dtoid robot, albeit with the big crest thing on it's head.

I'd like to see when the Destructoid is beckoned by the children of Tokyo to defend the city and Blasts off from his clock tower home. Destructoid is kinda hard to say in Japanese, I wonder what they'd call him?

I really hope that is a girl wearing that Fall Out Boy shirt. I mean, you never know with their fans.

If you're on a Fall Out Boy shirt, that's really more of an insult.

Well we know now that D-Toid has the loyal support of the emo community, even though eventually there'll be none left after they die from too much self mutilation or suicide

Between Nex's shirt and Ron Workman's godzilla penis, I have a feeling that Dtoid will be banned from the entire country.
