Flash Running Temporary Tattoo
This Flash running temporary tattoo was picked up at a China buffet restaurant on last month's road trip. The back doesn't tell what set it belongs to but it did state that it was number four of ten. Luckily, it also stated that it was distributed by A&A Global Industries. According to their website, the set is simply called DC Comics Character Tattoos. This will probably be the only one I get of the set since it might be a while before I get back to that restaurant.
Below is the entire DC Comics Character Tattoos set that features Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Joker. The DC Comics characters look like they are from a cartoon but I can't place it. The Batman, Haley Quinn and Joker look like the ones used for the Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 12: Batman Valentines With Tattoos.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #12: Floating Avengers
The final Marvel Super Hero Adventures sticker that I got in the now gone vending machine is what I call the floating Avengers. This is also the twelfth and final sticker in the set based on the Disney cartoon series. Characters include Thor, Hulk, Falcon, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man. I actually have two of these stickers and you can complete the top and bottom floating pictures of Thor and Hulk. It's kind of funny that the top of Hulk's head is on the bottom of the sticker while the rest of him is on top.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #11: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends
The eleventh sticker in the Marvel Super Hero Adventures set is what I call Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is shown with Miles Morales aka Ultimate Spider-Man on one side and Gwen Stacy aka Spider[Gwen on the other side. The background graphics of the city buildings and black spider is pretty cool too. The other thing cooler would have been to seen Spider-Man's original amazing friends, which were Firestar and Iceman.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers
There are a lot of characters on this Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers. There is Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Gwen Stacey aka Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales aka the Ultimate Spider-Man. The Avengers are represented by the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Antman, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Iron Man. Whew, that's a lot of characters for a vending machine sticker based on a Disney cartoon series.

Women Wednesday: Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #8: Ms. Marvel
I could have posted this yesterday but I thought it would make for a good Women Wednesday post. Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel is featured on Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #8. She is voiced by Aliza Vellani on the Disney Channel cartoon (fans of CW's iZombie will know her as Marcy Khan). I have yet to read any comics or seen any cartoons with this version of Ms. Marvel.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #4: Spider-Man THWIP!
I managed to get a few more Marvel Super Hero Adventures stickers last month before the vending machine disappeared. I posted a few of them back in September and I have yet to complete the set. I'm not for sure if the vending machine will be back or not but I doubt it since they were having problems with two of them jamming (the mystery sticker coin slot was the worse one and it had been down for almost a year). The first of the new batch is Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #4: Spider-Man THWIP!

Eternals Happy Meal Box
I finally got the box for the Eternals Happy Meal when I got Ajak. One side of the box has the smile while the next side has "Meet all 10 Eternals!" with pictures of Sprite, Kingo, Thena (Angelina Jolie), Gilgamesh and Ikaris.
The next panel has "Marvel Studios Eternals Only in theaters" with pictures of Sersi, Phastos, Ajak (Salma Hayek), Druig and Makkari. The final panel shows all ten Eternals Happy Meal toys plus "Try me! only on the Happy Meal app". There is also a picture of the Sersi toy standing on a smart phone with someone using the app.

Women Wednesday: Elvira Vegas or Bust at Hit It Rich Slots
I had the feeling that I was missing something when I was doing this year's Countdown to Halloween. I found out last evening when I finally logged into Hit It Rich Slots on Facebook after not playing it for the past two months. They now have an Elvira Vegas or Bust game, which was added around the middle of October. Consider this post a belated Halloween treat or an early Thanksgiving treat. The free online game is located in the VIP Room and the lowest amount that you can bid is 10,000,000 coins. Yeah, I have only played a few games so far. They also have special Elvira cards that you can collect to get a bonus. I never have any luck collecting a complete set of any of the card collections so I don't have any high hopes for completing this one.

Marvel Zombies Magneto Mystery Minis Funko Pop
I picked up this Marvel Zombies Magneto Mystery Minis Funko Pop earlier this month and I'm a little disappointed. He looks great with the blank eyes (one is totally black) and scars but he doesn't stay standing up. The bottom of his cape is what supposed to hold him up but it didn't at first. I had to spread the right bottom of his cape outward to keep him upright. It took several tries since the plastic cape wanted to go back to the original position. Your experience with the Back of Marvel Zombies Magneto Mystery Minis Funko Pop may vary so be warned that he may fall over.

Marvel Zombies Hulk Mystery Minis Funko Pop
I picked up three more Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pops on another road trip at the beginning of this month. I got them too late to post about them for this year's Halloween Countdown. One was another Marvel Zombies Black Panther, which makes three that I have now. I did get a Marvel Zombies Hulk, which is pretty cool overall. He has big open wounds on the left side of his chest and back plus one on his right arm. There is also some of his hair missing on the right side of his head. Yeah, he does look like he's going to eat you at any moment.

Eternals Ajak Happy Meal Toy
I was surprised that the local McDonald's still had the Eternals Happy Meal. My sister and I got Ajak but she gave me hers so I opened mine. Just like the Eternals Makkari Happy Meal Toy, she has a button on the back of her head that makes her hands go up and down. She also has lens at the bottom so you can shine a light in it to make the lens on her chest light up.
I didn't know much about Ajak other than she was a member of the Eternals from Marvel Comics so I had to look her up. Seems that she was also originally a male that lived in the Ural Mountains of Russia. It also seems that Ajak has some resentment against Makkari for being the Dreaming Celestial's chosen communicator. He dies along with all the other Eternals after they realize what they were originally created for. The movie version of Ajak is portrayed by Salma Hayek and this makes my first toy with her likeness.
