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.

OK…I hate to admit it, but this one’s kind of funny.

Submitted for your approval is this T.A.T. from Poester RO.

I know you’re fond of these pics of when jerks switch out figures and then return them and I spotted this monstrosity at a nearby Walmart while on a toy search the other night. I have no idea what’s up with Lex Luthor and am double stumped on who they replaced Two-Face with. Of course, I didn’t really research it.

I have no idea what’s up with Disco Luthor here either. Almost looks like a custom to me. Does anyone know? The busted arm is a nice, crappy touch, though.

This guy I do recognize. He’s Bossman from Happy Worker, and he runs about $15 a pop. So while I’m sure most people would rather have the Two-Face, that’s a pretty expensive figure they replaced him with there. I have to say, though–with that grin and the obvious out-of-place-ness, his presence in this five-pack kind of cracks me up.

“Say there, Mr. Luthor–you look like a man whose organization could use sensibly-priced workers’ compensation insurance. Let’s face it, those henchman liability claims start to add up! I see you’ve even got a bit of an inury yourself there. If I could just have a moment of your time…”

“Witness the awesome might of the World’s Greatest Superheroes and Villains! Superman! Batman! Lex Luthor! Catwoman! Ted Donovan, MBA!”
