Dollar Tree Superman Playing Cards Part Three

Today is the final look at the deck of Superman Playing Cards that I recently picked up at the local Dollar Tree. I was really expecting to see Lois Lane appear on at least one of the Hearts playing cards but she is not shown on any of the playing cards in this deck.

Batman appears on the Ten of Hearts playing cards while Superman and Wonder Woman share a kiss on the Queen of Hearts playing cards.

Superman battles Batman on the Seven of Spades playing card.

Superman is shown with kisses all of his face from Wonder Woman on the Queen of Spades playing cards.

Overall, this is a great deck of playing cards featuring Superman. However, I would have liked to see more of his supporting cast like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. Also, a few playing cards featuring Clark Kent would have been nice too.

Dollar Tree Superman Playing Cards Part One

The local Dollar Tree has replaced their Casino Playing Cards with character playing cards. I picked up this deck of Superman playing cards a couple of weeks ago for $1.25. I would have posted about them earlier but I've been down with the flu the past week. Unlike the Casino Playing Cards, this deck has two jokers. The box has no date, but it does state that it was distributed by Aquarius Entertainment.

Both joker cards feature Superman and Wonder Woman being romantic:

Hot Wheels 2025 Dark Blue Batman & Robin Batmobile

I found this Hot Wheels 2025 Dark Blue Batman & Robin Batmobile at the local Dollar General this morning. I thought I already had it so I almost put it back. I found out that I had the black and blue versions of the Hot Wheels 2024 Batman & Robin Batmobiles. This is #2 of 250 overall Hot Wheels set and #1 of 5 in the Batman subset. The price for Hot Wheels at Dollar General is now $1.35.

T-shirt Tuesday: Superman 2025 Movie Shield T-shirt

I bought this XXL Superman 2025 movie shield t-shirt last week for $8.98 at the local Walmart's. I bought it for a special reason: my stepdad died on Saturday, August 9th, 2025 at the age of 85. He requested that everyone that attended his funeral wear t-shirts and jeans. His funeral was Thursday, August 14th and I wore this t-shirt along with my black jeans. For me, the S shield on this t-shirt stands for stepdad.

Science Fiction Saturday: Lucky Charms Featuring Invisible Woman

I picked up a box of Lucky Charms featuring Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman a week ago at the local Walmart's. This is another General Mills cereal promoting the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie. While I like the jumbo rainbows in the cereal, I'm not crazy about the artwork since Sue has no mouth or nose.

The back of the Lucky Charms box has the entire Fantastic Four, which includes Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and Ben Grimm aka the Thing. Yes, the FantastiCar is also shown. There is also a hidden message and a decorder. It's a different message than the one found on the Honey Nut Cheerios Featuring Human Torch box.

The other two General Mills cereal boxes promoting the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie are Cinnamon Toast Crunch featuring Mister Fantastic and Reese's Puffs featuring the Thing. I won't be getting those boxes because I'm not a fan of those cereals and I don't want to be stuck eating them.

Fantastic Friday: Blue Raspberry PopTarts Featuring Fantastic Four

I actually found a box of the Blue Raspberry PopTarts promoting the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie a few weeks ago at the local Walmart's. I ate them last week and found the flavor is much stronger and sweeter than the Frosted Strawberry PopTarts. The front of the box features the Fantastic Four that includes Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic, Ben Grimm aka the Thing and Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman.

The back of the box features five of the eight different images on the PopTarts. I finally got one with the Invisible Woman on it. Unfortunately, the images were still blurry.

Warning: You may have problems with the blue dye used in the Blue Raspberry PopTarts several hours later (if you know what I mean, then you know). I had problems after the first two but not with the rest of the package.

Honey Nut Cheerios Featuring Human Torch

General Mills promoted Fantastic Four: First Steps with several of their cereals. The Honey Nut Cheerios box has Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch. The artwork is a retro design but I would rather have images from the Marvel movie.

The back features the entire Fantastic Four that includes the Invisible Woman, the Thing, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch. The FantastiCar is shown but no sign of H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot. There is also a hidden message with a decoder.

Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2023

I found this Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack at the local Walmart's last week but didn't pick it up until this Tuesday. There's a Batmobile, one police car, two villain vehicles and a Batcopter. My camera decided to act up so I didn't get a picture of the box's back, but I did manage get one of the front:

The first three diecast cars include Arkham Asylum Batmobile, Gotham City Boom Box and Harley Quinn Hi-Roller:

The last two vehicles include the Joker Power Pistons (the engine cover and top are transparent green and look really cool) and the all blue Batcopter:

Fantastic Friday Featuring Fantastic Four Pop-Tarts

I actually found a floor display of Fantastic Four: First Steps Pop-Tarts at the local Dillons last Saturday. I picked up a box of eight frosted strawberry because I wanted to try that first. The front of the box features artwork of the Fantastic Four based on the movie along with a Pop-Tart featuring the group's logo.

The back of the box features five Pop-Tarts with different art that is supposed to be on them. There are supposed to be eight different designs, but I only found four in this box: H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot (twice), Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch (twice), Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic (twice) and Ben Grimm aka the Thing (twice). I would have loved finding a Pop-Tart with Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman on it.

The top flap of the box shows two Pop-Tarts with artwork. It also states that images were made with food coloring.

I was really disappointed with the images and the taste. Every Pop-Tart that I had featured blurry images. The strawberry flavor was very faint probably because the layer was so thin. I might try the blue raspberry ones just to see if I can get a Pop-Tart with the Invisible Woman on it. The other flavors are frosted s'mores and brown sugar cinnamon.

Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2024

Today was my lucky day for I found this Hot Wheels Batman 5-pack from 2024 at the local Dollar General. I have not seen this 5-pack at the local Walmart's, so I quickly grabbed this.  There are two batmobiles, two villain cars and a cop car. Here's the front featuring all five Hot Wheels die-cast cars:


Here's the back featuring Batman reaching out for you:


Mr. Freeze is represented by the Sir Ominous car with a bluish silver color. The Batman Batmobile has gold look to it. The photos below don't do the paint jobs justice.


The Penguin is represented by the Fast Felion car painted metalflake purple. The Gotham City Police car is painted metalflake gray '11 Dodge Charger R/T (to me it looks brownish).


Finally, there is the chrome Batmobile from 2019.

Milk & Bone Presents Superman: A Friendship Unleashed #1

Did you know that if you buy a box of Milk & Bone dog treats that you can get a free comic book featuring Superman and Krypto? The small print calls it Milk & Bone Custom Comic (July 2025) but the cover suggests Milk & Bone Presents Superman: A Friendship Unleashed #1 (sounds better right?). Of course, it's basically a movie tie-in. Shame I don't have a dog anymore so the neighbor's dog will get them.

Cool ad for the Milk & Bone box featuring Krypto:

Hot Wheels Batman: Arkham Asylum Batmobile 2025

I was surprised to find this Hot Wheels Batman: Arkham Asylum Batmobile 2025 at the local Dillons store this morning. It has a metalflake dark gold paint job and blue tinted windows.

Women Wednesday: Hot Wheels RacerVerse Harley Quinn

I picked up this Hot Wheels RacerVerse Harley Quinn car yesterday at the local Walmart's on clearance sale for three dollars. The original price was $5.97 but wait for the sale sticker reads "HW BOBA FETT, FIRESP". There were two of the Hot Wheels RacerVerse Boba Fett cars and two of the Harley Quinn cars. I had seen the Boba Fett version with the regular Hot Wheels several weeks ago but never the Harley ones.

I like how the design pays tribute to her black and red harlequin hat:

I love the detail on Harley Quinn's face especially how she has two different colors of eye shadow just like in the card's artwork:

Marvel Avengers Black Panther Action Figure

I picked up this Marvel Avengers Black Panther action figure this morning at the local Walmart's. It was on clearance sale for two dollars but I had seen him a week ago for four dollars. He is four inches tall and comes with a purple claw accessory. This Black Panther is part of the Epic Hero Series from Hasbro with a copyright of 2024.

Here is a close up look of the Marvel Avengers Black Panther action figure:

Women Wednesday: Kinder Chocolate DC Funko Pop Trivia Card #1: Wonder Woman

I actually picked up two Kinder Chocolate candy over a week ago. I ended up with two DC Funko Pop trivia cards featuring Wonder Woman, which is the first in the series. The backs of the cards are blank. Yeah, my luck with these have not been great so far. She is also on the wrapper with Superman, who I suspect is on the third card.

T-shirt Tuesday: Star Wars Darth Vader T-shirt

The third and final t-shirt that I picked up last week for two dollars is this Star Wars Darth Vader t-shirt. It's pretty cool since it has the villain holding his lightsaber on the right side and a close up of his masked head in the background on the left. This make my first Star Wars t-shirt that I have ever owned.

Kinder Chocolate DC Funko Pop Trivia Card #2: Batman

I have been finding the Kinder Chocolate candy with the DC Funko Pop trivia cards in the local stores for the past few weeks. I picked up two at the local General Dollar this morning and both of them were Batman, which is number two in the series. The back is blank and there is no checklist of the cards available. The main wrapper features Wonder Woman and Superman.

T-shirt Thursday: A Nightmare on Elm Street Claw T-shirt

I picked up this A Nightmare on Elm Street Claw claw t-shirt at the local Walmart's on Monday. The regular price was $8.98 but I got it for two dollars. I picked up another one for my sister who loves the original Freddy Krueger. I would have picked up another one for me but they only had two in XXL. It has the phase "Ready or not here I come" in red in the lower right-hand corner. The t-shirt has Freddy Krueger's claw and bloody claw marks. I'll be wearing this all year long and not just for Halloween.
