Toy Aisle Trolls > Mallah Back Hurl

Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com. Also, please note: I’m deliberately being over-the-top with my condemnation of these people–I don’t actually wish bodily harm upon them. Just severe mental anguish.

BTD sends in these two blasphemies:

Says BTD:

Here are two photos… the first is from January, a Dr Fate at Target. They removed his cape and amulet, and the C&C piece, and then returned him. I’ve actually seen another like that at a Walmart, but didn’t have a camera that time.

The second is a creative mangling of the Mallah’s Revenge DCIH set at a Walmart this past Sunday. It’s a Super Hero Squad Hawkeye, an Iceman (I think?) and a third that I don’t even recognize.

I get wanting the C&C piece from Dr. Fate, but why take his cape and amulet? Seriously, what is that all about?

As for the second one, that’s so ridiculous I think the jerk was just trying to see how far he could go and still get away with it.

Either way, they’re both douchebags.

Karmic Payack: Their identities are stolen and $3000 worth of porn websites are run up on their credit car–wait, what? They were the ones who bought all that porn to try to fill the gaping hole in their lives? Eh, never mind.

  1. I'm pretty sure that the mystery figure is a Bionicle figure from a Happy Meal.

    I get the cape since it's different than the regular version. That's totally a slimy attempt to return the 6 pack.

  3. ozzyboy

    my guess is they took the cape with modern amulet to put on a classic version they had so they could have a modern version that doesn't have the gold crotch and boots.

  4. symapathyfordoom

  5. sympathy4doom

    Yeah. That is the weirdest part. It seems lately the reparkers have been going after really weird crap. Notice most if not all returns are at walmart though.

  7. So why wouldn't someone take the Brain and Mallah figures, which were the draws of that 6 pack?

  8. CompyRex

    They replaced Raven with a McDonalds Happy Meal toy. It's a Bionicle character named Krika.

  9. I didn't even know there were Brain and Mallah toys! I love those guys.

  10. @Thomas B: Wow, thats not like Mattel šŸ˜‰

    Well at least they are doing a good job on the WWE figures.

  11. Thomas B

    @Mark:

    because mattel is run by idiots and they screwed up their variant dr fate.

  12. Why does Dr Fate have gold boots, helmet etc etc and yellow gloves.

    I have little interest in DCUC figures, with some exceptions (still wanting a better Captain Marvel figure), if these were over here I would be tempted to get Dr Fate.

  13. PrfktTear

    What a shame! I'd just be happy to find Dr. Fate!

  14. What the hell did they replace Raven with?

  15. Fengschwing

    Hur-hur-hur…'Gaping'…

  16. MechaShiva

    WTF,Modern Dr.Fate to boot,what a waste!

  17. Daaaaaaaaaamn! That Hawkeye SHS figure is rare now and is worth $20!

  18. Nik
