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.

@Dlia: Don't try to justify it, what's the point? If you want to do it, just do it! Then you too can be featured here, on Poe's prestigious pages!

Hey, that's from the scene where he breaks out of the prison!

I was thinking about swapping one of the figs out of the 2 pack He-Man Vs Superman for a freebie He-Man. What? Matty is choking the Superman re-releases? What is one less crappy figure going to do to WB's bulging bottom line?
MrG
@Mecha-Shiva: yup. that's probably the case. considering that there is one remaining survival suit batman and a dozen of these jokers on that shelf, the theif probably wasn't as concerned with the rarity as with the play factor of the action figure.
PresidentJuggernaut
Yes, this is simply a rare packaging variant.
The Flash III
Perhaps it's the clear "phasing" Joker?
Mecha-Shiva
So it's a straight out stolen toy oldschool style?Probably a kid's fault since no one wants the Joker figure anymore these days.
