It’s Raining Super-Men

The little, plastic kind- sorry ladies. While that may be bad news if you are shopping for a husband, it’s great news if you are shopping for a son, nephew, or superhero loving child. There are toys to go with movie blockbusters, TV shows, cartoons, and even a few just because. What’s hotter then a superhero, really? For kids, I mean. Toys. Totally.

Why is it so many superheros seem to have multiple personality disorders? They want to save the world, they are distraught and angry, they are filled with angst, they feel responsible, they feel lonely, they push people away, they cling to friends, they occasionally go off the rails (I’m looking at you, Spiderman) etc etc etc. Now, you can intentionally confuse your superheros- well, those in the Marvel Universe, anyway- by mashing them up with other heroes and villains. Take the head of Iron Man, the body of Thor, the legs of Hulk, and the arms of Dr. Doom and make your own super-confused-super-humans. Actually, maybe it IS a good way to shop for a man….Well, there you go. Fun for kids, for fun superhero enthusiasts, and fun for mom. What’s not to love? Prices range from $10 – $20 on http://www.hasbro.com, also available in most stores that sell toys.

Got a kid who is really into Power Rangers? Or perhaps just waxing nostalgic yourself. The Power Rangers have morphed through more sets of super-rangers since it’s origins in 1992 then I care to shake a stick at, were I inclined to shake sticks. (19 seasons and nearly 100 Rangers total later, the show is still going strong.) My little brother watched the original Rangers back in the stone age when I was a kid, and I once dressed up as “Tommy, the Green Ranger” at a birthday party which confused all the kids at the McDonalds I was working at, since Tommy is not really a girl. Hey- I was the only one short enough to fit into the costume on that shift that day. The Power Rangers are an institution, and going nowhere. They are still making movies and TV episodes, and my son and his friends look forward to the new toys as much as my little brother did a thousand years ago. So, what’s new in Power Rangers? The Legacy MegaZord is a return to the original, after celebrating 20 years of Power Rangers saving the world. This latest Megazord has all the original details from the first toy, but improves it with diecast metal pieces for durability. It comes with a Ranger Key that can be used to open it’s chest. Good for collectors and fans of the current show alike. The Mystic Dragon Zord and Green Ranger set is also inspired by past seasons, and connects to other parts of the Zord Builder collection. Any 4 inch figure or Power Ranger Key can work with the Dragon Zord, and it comes with one Power Ranger Key as well as the Green Ranger. The Legacy Megazord and Mystic Dragon Zord can be used together. Roughly $35 and $16 depending on your place of purchase.
