“I don’t know what to name this one, but in the Toys R Us in Emeryville, CA, there were three Wolverine/She-Hulk 2-packs, and all three had the She-Hulk removed.
…Somebody really likes She-Hulk.”N

“Saw these at Toys R Us and for a split second thought there was a variant speeder bike. Lol. I guess someone wanted to army build some biker scouts?”

Another swapped Ratchet. He’s supposed to look like this. Ratchet’s an interesting character…nothing more than the equivalent of a D&D Cleric in the 1980s cartoon, while practically the hero of the first dozen or so issues of the Marvel comic at the same time (particularly the Dinobots issue, #8, which I probably read a hundred times as a kid). He also got melded with Megatron and turned into this.
Anyway, whoever did this needs to get a life. –PG

Found this at Toys R Us in Carle Place, NY. At least they included a Batman…

I stopped in my tracks and wondered how the hell a toy from 1996 could possibly be there. Sure enough, upon closer inspection, I found that some jackass had scanned, printed out and taped a barcode from the new Batman toys onto the package.
Now, this is much worse than the normal trolling. In normal instances they’re doing it to get a free figure. In this case, the troll is simply stealing money. He’s returning worthless 90’s figures and getting cash for them. That’s no different than going up to an open cash register and taking money out of it. I really hope he tries again and gets caught…this is awful.”

Poe’s Note: The first “Fled Arrow” was just about a month ago. This douche ups the ante by swiping TWO Arrows, making the “II” in the title even more deliciously appropriate.
Speaking of my terrible pun, does anyone remember the movie Fled? Remember how they actually said “We gotta fled” in that movie? Wasn’t that really weird?
