This is a first for Toy Aisle Trolls. Monkey Boy sends in this absolutely bizarre find. (more…)

Here’s a little number found by a buddy of Poester Epyon Enforcer.
This is a pretty classic example of a toy aisle troll–swapped out Tyr for Scorpion, and thus emperiled his immortal soul. I hope it was worth it. Pay for your toys, or don’t buy them at all.

This latest travesty was found by Poester (and my longtime online acquaintance) Dark Angel.
Says DA:
Found in a Wal-Mart. I am well-versed enough in comic lore to know that the purple bird lady is an X-Men foe, though I cannot recall her name. Two things: One, this is pretty zen in its own way–I would imagine that the bird lady was a hot figure back in her day (thirteen or so years ago), and I (sadly) know this is the work of one of our fellow collectors as she is in absolutely pristine condition; and two, it amazes me that the person who returned it included at least part of Hawkgirl’s weapons (the mace may actually be broken) and the Gentleman Ghost figure itself! They must have really, really wanted that Hawkgirl–oddly enough, I had picked up a single-carded Hawkgirl and left one more on the shelf at a Target literally across this street from this Wal-Mart about two months ago!
That bird looks really familiar, but I’m way out of practice on my Marvel lore, so I’ll let someone else identify her below.
As for the jackass who did this, get a &%#^! life. That is all.

I encountered this at Toy R Us. I usually see this with Mattel’s WWE Elite line as the package is easier to reseal and the vandals swap out the new figures with old Jakks Pacific versions of the same wrestler. But this guy not only replaced the figures with different wrestlers, but he STAPLED the bubble back on to the card.
I’m not really familiar with professional wrestling, so I’ll leave it to you to decide exactly which painful move should be inflicted on the piece of canine fecal matter who did this.

Poester Pez3939 sends in yet another mauling of the DCUC Gotham 5-Pack:
Writes Pez:
DC universe 5 pack with a Batman Movie Master goon and a wrestling chick with furry boots!!!!
The thief deserves to be placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, of course, but at least I understand this one.

Poester T16SkyHopp (I think that’s his handle) sends this one in.
They just stole Egon. And tore off his name tag to make it less obvious he is missing. Lame.
Yeah, Egon. It’s not like we haven’t already had two Egons available via Mattycollector. He’s the most common Ghostbusters Classic figure out there. And the only one this guy stole.
Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly, and apparently, profoundly stupid lot.

Unfortunately, the holiday season seems to bring the worst out in the world’s Toy Aisle Trolls, as I’m being inundated with TAT entries (I need to start putting together some sort of award for these, like Marvel’s No-Prizes). President Juggernaut sends in this latest, which he found right in my own backyard (figuratively speaking).
