The local K-Marts have put the MU Iron Man's and Spider-Man's on clearance for less than $2 at least twice. They build back up, like mercury in the food chain. It's hideous.

Retailers must be selling a lot of Iron Man, or it would be even worse, but there's been what? Forty or fifty new Iron Man figures in the last two years? I was at a Wal-Mart today with 5 different MU Iron Man figures.

On the one hand, it's genius. Give a kid fifty Iron Man armors, and he'll think of someone to be in every armor. ("This one's my brother Hayden, this one's the Grandpa from Ben 10.")

On the other hand, it seems like a waste for collectors and kids. If they're want to do eighty repaints, that's great but either make them fun, or make them interesting. I could put six-year-olds in a room for half-an-hour and they could come up with better deluxe figure ideas. The 2011 Iron Man toys are toy line uselessness. Two or three years from now, parents will be buying them at Dollar General for $4 figure for their kid who was just now old enough to see the movie. "Why is he yellow and white?" "I don't know, but it's either him or the old guy from Avatar 2."
