Doctor doom mighty muggs11/14/2023 ![]() ![]() I made sure to snap this pic though before letting it go. ASo I picked up this set and passed it along to my nephew Alex (Doug’s kid) who already has a pretty impressive Superhero Squad collection. His metal mask even has morning beard stubble. The coat, the slippers and the anti-Iron Man mug are just amazing. Sometimes I wonder about characters like him, does he ever get to relax? Does he lounge around and watch TV in all of that armor? Well now I know the answer: yes he does. That metal face, fully armored body, green hooded cape and the stylish man-skirt make for a deadly and fashionable combination. He’s smart, powerful, has mastered science and magic, can travel through time and he looks badass. Doctor Doom is the ultimate villain in the Marvel Universe. The set included the Mayor, Iron Man and Doctor Doom. This set had to be bought though, not only was it rare but it was adorable. You know how I can’t buy just 1 of anything. I think the Superhero Squad toys and cartoons are pretty cool but I haven’t yet bought any as I don’t want to open the floodgates. I don’t know how they end up with these things but there it was. So on my most recent trip to Winners I found a Superhero Squad 3 pack that was actually a San-Diego Comic-Con exclusive set. Well every once and a while I’ll find one of those rare toys at Winners, and on top of that, the damn things are at discounted prices! I’ve paid $40 on ebay for Transformers that I’ve never seen in stores only to stumble across them a few months later in Winners selling for $10. I usually end up buying those toys on ebay for 2 or 3 times what they originally sold for. chains like Target and Kay-Bee have exclusive figures that I never have access to because we don’t have those stores. retailers that I never would’ve expected to find here. The local Winners stores seem to get excess toys from U.S. Amongst the rejects though I found some real gems, and have many times since. Then one day I was dragged into one and I discovered that they had a crummy little toy department in the corner filled with reject toys. When the Winners stores first started opening up around here a few years ago I wanted nothing to do with them. Like a cross between a Wal-Mart and a yard sale. For those not familiar it’s a big discount store with “designer” brand stuff at cheap prices. I was in a WINNERS store a little while back. I’m only supposed to be reviewing toys in my personal collection which this one is not. ![]()
