Women Wednesday: The Marvels Happy Meal Box

I did manage to get a couple of undamaged Happy Meal boxes promoting The Marvels movie. On the left side, there are images of the Nick Fury, Captain Marvel, Marvel's Goose and Princess Carol action figures at the top. The majority of the side is devoted to showing how you can put the action figures on your phone or tablet for more fun.


The front of the box features Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, Teyonah Parris as Photon and Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. A brief description of their powers is also listed for each of the superheroines. The right side of the Happy Meal box features images of Kree-Supremor Dar-Benn, Ms. Marvel, Photon, Captain Marvel and Prince Yan on the top. The majority of that side is taken up by the scan code to power up your toy at the Happy Meal website.

Women Wednesday: Ms. Marvel vs Dar-Benn from The Marvels

I don't always keep track of what's new with the Happy Meal toys so I was surprised a few weeks ago when I ordered one and found out that it was based on The Marvels movie. I got Kamala Kahn aka Ms. Marvel, which is number five of eight. You push the button in the back of her head and her right arm moves side to side. You can also rotate her left arm all the way round. Iman Vellani reprises her role as Ms. Marvel in the movie, which is cool because I really enjoyed her in the tv series. I picked up another Happy Meal the following week and got number eight, which is Kree Supremor Dar-Benn. You can rotate a wheel on her back to move her right arm and weapon all the way round. Her left arm rotates too but her hair stops it from going all the way. Dar-Benn is played by Zawe Ashton in the movie.

Hot Wheels The Batman Five Pack

I picked up the Hot Wheels The Batman Five Pack last week at the local Walmart's. I would have posted pictures sooner but I'm having problems with my Olympus digital camera again. The Bruce Wayne car is a '64 Corvette Sting Ray, the Batmobile is from the recent The Batman movie, the Riddler car is Burl-Esgue, the Penguin car is a classic Nomad, and the Catwoman car is the Gov'ner. The images on the Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman cars features the characters from Batman: The Animated Series. That is good because I wouldn't want images of the Riddler and the Penguin from the movie on them. However, I wouldn't mind having the Catwoman from the movie on her car. I wish there was a way to open the box without destroying it so I could take the cars out of the box and take better pictures. I would have to say that the Riddler car is my favorite from this set.




I think that it's about time that Alfred get his own Hot Wheels diecast car.
