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.

Writes JediCreeper:
I was in k-mart today and I found multiple examples of trolling… Most likely all from the same guy… Frighteningly… I think I might know who the guy is. Anyway, he bought several of the Mattel Elite WWE figures and returned some old Jakks Pacific ones, in their place. Most interesting is the Kane figure, as he left the accessories behind, and carved the beard off some other bald wrestler…
As punishment, he should feel all the pain a wrestler feels in a week, all at once.
It occurs to me that by releasing the same wrestlers JAKKS released for years, Mattel is offering a rich source of food for toy aisle trolls. I suspect this happens fairly often nowadays.
Anyway, troll, whoever you are, know that we all think of you as Adam Sandler in this scene.

yeah.. this was a weird one… and I am pretty sure it's the work of NYC's local scalper douche.
I did see some more returns at the same Kmart more recently (another Kane, this time he painted red stripes on the other wrestler's tights.. I didn't bother with a picture though)
people suck sometimes

Disgrace.
Well I suppose if anyone bought the Triple H at least they would get a figure that looked like him…..in 2003…but better to like him at some point than not at all.

and he left the kane accessories? that'd be the only thing about that fig that enticed me to purchase!
what a frickin retard. i hope this guy gets runover by an immigrant without insurance.

What's really interesting is that this guy gave Randy Orton more accessories than Mattel did.

@The Flash III: My bad. Fixed.

Is there a pic of the Kane replacement? I'd like to check it out. Randy Orton shows up twice.
