Here they come to save the... Just kidding.

While traipsing through Target over the weekend, Jason and I cut through an aisle in the toy section to get to our intended destination. While passing through, something caught my eye:

Step away from the cheeseburgers.
What. The. Hell? Seriously? These are toys for kids. If I were in grave danger and one of these super heroes came to my rescue, I'd know - without a shadow of doubt - that I was fucked. Does it look like Superman can leap a building in a single bound? No, I doubt he can even step over a crack in the floor. Wonder Woman's invisible plane ain't that sturdy. The latest battle royale between The Joker and Batman will be an eating contest. The Green Lantern is now used as a lighthouse. Batgirl... yeah, who really cares about her. 

Although, thanks to these figurines, I suddenly didn't feel so bad about myself.

    Ha ha I saw these too. My first thought was...Yay Ryan can play with these and probably not choke on them if he decides to eat them. But I totally see your point. Ha ha. Superman definitely does not look like he can leap over a building in a single bound.

      I can definitely see that children would be safe playing with these. Did you get them for Ryan?

      Yep. This IS what we've got to as a society. We'll just have to save ourselves.

      HAHA! Yes, Destination Cupcakes. I love it. I'll never look at Batman the same again.

    Doesnt it seem as though they'd waddle and be out of breath? Maybe they need superhero Rascals?

      It would be funny to see them come to save you on a Rascal.

    They are just an accurate portrayal of what a modern American superhero would look like.

    But honestly, they are pretty cute.

      I have to admit, Chunky Batman is a cutie.
