    Random Marvel Mania

    I've mentioned this before but Bop Bags truly confuse me, why would you want to beat the crap out of your favourite character?

    This Captain America Bop Bag is ever worse, isn't he the sentinel of liberty? Isn't throwing a punch at old cap a bit like punching the flag?

    If you had one of these as a kid, your future political careers could be dashed if any photographic evidence exists of you wailing on Cap (RIP).

    As a kid, Captain America was quite possibly my favourite Superhero, which many find strange seeing as I'm Canadian. I think it was the shield personally, I could really fling the one on my Mego Captain America figure.





    Moving onto the Hulk, I'm loving these amazing Hulk PJs I found, mostly because of the attention to detail (the purple pants), wonderful.

    Speaking of Marvel Mania, fans of Spider-Man should really check out Spider-Man Collector, it's easily the most thorough Spider-Man collectibles site ever. I honestly wish every superhero had a site as good as this one.

      Gotta love that classic Romita Cap pose...and Kirby background on that bop bag!

      Bop bags confuse me too. Why not make one of the Red Skull or Dr. Doom?

      I dug Cap a lot as a kid too. Being able to hurl a trash can lid at a friend didn't hurt.

          I heard it was mandatory for all AIM and Hydra Agents to practice on a Capt America Bop Bag.

          Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
          Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
          Lo they do call me.
          They bid me take my place among them.

              Things like this have a real place in my heart. Come on, you wouldn't want to whip a superhero once and a while. There was always a kid who wanted to place the villian.

                      I guess its all about "fear" regarding "name recognition" in the eyes of the
                      manufacturer(s).

                      Why risk putting RED SKULL or DR. DOOM's name on something when you
                      could put SPIDER-MAN, HULK or CAPTAIN AMERICA's?

                      I mean...yeah...the JOKER had his own comic in the 70s----but it only lasted, like,
                      ten issues.
