Daft Punk & Medicom have teamed up to celebrate the duos upcoming feature film debut in 'TRON: Legacy' with two new toys. The toys come in two styles -- action figure and kubrick -- and are set to be released April 2011.
Daft Punk did the whole soundtrack for the new TRON film in addition to making a cameo appearance. I've never been a huge fan of the kubrick toys, but I love what Daft Punk & Medicom have done here. The wait for the new TRON film and all of its accompanying merchandise just became unbearable.
