DC Superfriends "trading cards"

[dvandom]

Got a couple of the new DC Superfriends figures today. They come with very thick cards that have 1/6 of a picture on one side, and individual stuff on the other. And...um....


Lex has a sort of Charlie Brown thing going on, and John looks WAY too proud of his accomplishment.

Wal-Mart. They've been resetting this week, and they're not in the aisle with the regular action figures. I found 'em between the Car-nivores and the Planet Heroes, near the new Bible toys (which, sadly, suck as toys).

As a rather Bible-centered Christian, who's seen many versions of the idea, I can safely say that almost ALL Bible toys suck. I haven't see any yet that I'd even use in Children's Church. I use a Yugioh deck and some Harry Potter figures (it's FICTION, like Cinderella, why can't the vast majority of people in the church grasp that?!) among other things, but actual Bible-based action figures have never taken off at all (with the possible exception of Noah, a boat, and some animals, those seem to do ok, for some reason).

This line basically has two parts. One is like Robot Heroes, but with zero poseability. The other is Bible Barbie. So, at best, they're aiming at little kids who aren't allowed small parts, and girls who are willing to play unfashionable dress-up. They need something in the regular action figure domain, or along the lines of Polly Pocket.

Bible Barbie?

Ken: "Wow, Barbie, that shapeless rode that's the only item of clothing that one can reasonably stand in this 100+ degree desert looks quite fetching!"

Barbie: "Go away. The light reflecting off your perfect teeth is messing up my shade"
