Marc Jacobs partnered with the creators of South Park.

The South Park episode entitled "Cartman's Tea Party" has already become fashion legend thanks to the guest appearance of Muscle Man Marc, a Stretch Armstrong-type toy baring bearing more than a passing resemblance to a certain New York-based designer.

A man of semi-infinite humor, Marc Jacobs embraced the South Park tribute, tattooing it on his skin (much as he did a likeness of him created by the Simpsons' animators), making a line of tees for the show, and putting Kenny, Kyle, Stan, and Cartman in his West Village store windows. Now Jacobs is offering up a limited-edition run of super cute Muscle Man Marc dolls for purchase.

They give fans the unprecedented chance to get between the sheets with the cut bod, hot tattoos, and tiny, tiny briefs of Marc himself. Let's face it, it's as close as you'll ever get to snuggling with the real thing.

(Also, Muscle Man Marc can beat the stuffing out of your Anthropologie throw pillows any day of the week.) WANT!
