Green Lantern Movie Sneak Peak Video

If you watched the Friday episode of Entertainment Tonight, then you would have seen a sneak peak at the Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds. You can view the video here since it is widescreen and I am digging the suit. Be sure to turn to the tv show next Tuesday for a closer look at the movie.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Marvel Heroes Wolverine

Wolverine stopped hanging out at McDonald's because they made him child proof his pop out claws. I found him at a local thrift store last week hanging out in a bag with other Happy Meal toys. I like his blue and yellow uniform even if he can no longer stab a McRib.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Marvel Heroes Captain America

For Veteran's Day this year, Captain America is hanging out at McDonald's to ask for donations to get a new shield. He will sing any of the hits from the forties for fifty dollars or more. For donations over a hundred, he will give you the phone number of any of his fellow Marvel Heroes friends.

Thrift Store Find: Mystery Batman Figure

I went to the local thrift stores yesterday afternoon and found two bags of goodies for a dollar at one of them. One bag had a mystery Batman figure that had clear legs, chest, arms and lower face. His boots, shorts, chest bat symbol, gloves and crowl are all black while the utility belt is yellow. The body, arms and legs appear to have grooves in the back with strips of gray paint. He stands at 4 1/4" tall and the only markings are "TM & @ DC" on the bottom of the cape. The bottom has two holes that are obviously used to attach a base with pegs to it since the mystery Batman figure does not stand on his own. I spent most of last night trying to find out what he is called or what item he was originally attached to but my search turned up blank. If anyone has a clue to what this mystery Batman figure is, then please leave a comment or contact me via email.

Marvel Heroes Wristbands

These Marvel Heroes wristbands were found in the same vending machine that I found the Marvel Heroes Heads that I posted about yesterday. There are twelve in a set but I only have two. The first has eleven characters from Marvel Comics while the second only has Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America. They are too small for my wrists but they can be attached to phones, mp3 players and portable game consoles. The wristband is made out of soft cloth-like material.

Marvel Heroes Heads

Only two local stores still have vending machines filled with candy and toys. One of them has Marvel Heroes Heads for seventy-five cents each and there are six in a set. There are two different sets: ones with bodies and ones without. I first got the Hulk and thought he was an antennae ball until I noticed that the plastic wrapper was made to come off. The head pops apart so you can imagine my surprise when the Captain America and Iron Man Marvel Heroes Heads that I got on my second trip rattled. I then decided that I should actually read the display sign that tells exactly what the vending machine is selling. My third visit found me getting Thor with a body and Wolverine without a body. I am only missing Spider-Man but I am currently out of quarters.
