Thor Pocket Pop Keychain

Yes, you guess it it for today is another Thorsday (this is the last one for a while, I promise). Today's post spotlights the Thor Pocket Pop Keychain that I received from Disney Movie Rewards. I traded four hundred points for him and he is part of the Thor: Love and Thunder movie set. He has a bobble-head and is holding a battle axe. The box is three inches tall and two inches wide.

Hershey's DC Heroes 12 Pack and Mini Bar Wrappers 2022

I actually found a box of the Hershey's DC Heroes 12 packs with mini bars at the local Walmart's last month. The box had only the wrappers featuring Batman (Jace Fox) and Wonder Girl (Yara Flor). I grabbed two of each and they are now all gone now at the store (they are back to the regular boring wrappers). I know I'm missing the Superman (Jonathan Kent) wrapper but I'm not sure if they made any with Batman (Bruce Wayne), Superman (Clark Kent) and Wonder Woman (Diana Prince). I'm only showing the right half of the large 12 pack wrappers because they are too long to scan.


I only collected eight of the ten mini bar wrappers. These were extrememely hard to open without ripping them even while using scissors to cut one end off. They also wrinkled bad and the chocolate melted faster than I could eat them out of the package (no, I didn't eat all forty-eight mini bars are once). Anyway, the mini bar wrappers that I did get include Aquaman (Arthur Curry), Aquaman (Jackson Hyde), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Batman (Jace Fox), Green Lantern (Jo Mullein), Superman (Clark Kent), Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and Wonder Girl (Yara Flor). I'm missing Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Superman.(Jonathan Kent).

I'm really reconsidering collecting these wrappers. Finding them is a chore and eating them is not as fun now that I'm getting older. You can check out last year's Hershey's DC Heroes 12 Pack and Mini Bar Wrappers here

Hey, we made it to another Thorsday and the first day of Autumn. I'm finally presenting the Thor: Love and Thunder Happy Meal box. The left side of part one shows Thor and Mighty Thor aka Lady Thor aka Jane Foster. The right side shows all the ten toys in the set plus the "Try Me" code.

The left side of part two shows the smiling mouth, which is always creepy if you ask me. The right side shows a larger image of the ten toys in the set plus a more detailed instruction on how to play the Thor Music Experience.

The toy set includes Rocket, Mantis, Thor, Mighty Thor, Star-Lord, Groot, Valkyrie, Korg, Thoothgnasher and Toothgrinder, and Golden Armor Thor. I was surprised that I actually got five of the ten.

Thor: Love and Thunder Valkyrie Happy Meal Toy

Hooray for it's Freyaday, which is why I'm posting this Valkyrie Happy Meal toy that I picked up several weeks ago. She is holding her sword named Dragonfang in her right hand. There is a button on the back of her head that moves her right arm up and down. Her left hand can manually be moved up and down. She is number eight in the Thor: Love and Thunder movie set.

Thor: Love and Thunder Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher Happy Meal Toy

If you told me that Thor's goats would get their own Happy Meal toy last year, then I would have laughed and called you crazy. Well, thanks to McDonald's doing toys based on the Thor: Love and Thunder movie, such a toy has been made. I was lucky to get one several weeks ago. Toothgrinder (white) and Toothgnasher (brown) are bubbleheads. They are the tenth and last toy in the set.

Hot Wheels TV Series Batmobile

Yes, it's another tv series Batmobile from Hot Wheels. This is #131 in the main 2022 series (the copyright on the back says 2021) and #4 in the Batman subset. I picked this one up a few weeks ago at the local Dillons grocery store. There is supposed to be a gold version but I have yet to find it around here.

Hot Wheels Arkham Asylum 2021 Brown Batmobile

To be honest, I thought this was a dark red version of the Hot Wheels Arkham Asylum Green Batmobile. After doing a little research, I found out that it is actually brown. It's kind of hard to pick out the color just like the green version. I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago at the local Dillons grocery store. Yes, the copyright on the back states 2021 but it's actually part of the 2022 line.
