I know of at least one little boy who will be very happy because of ReMegos.
I've been friends with Shannon since college. She's a great lady, and had a rough year, carrying her second child to term last April. She was induced April 1, and I joked with her before she entered the hospital that it'd be a terrible April Fool's prank to tell a pregnant lady she was being induced only to say "Nah, just kidding."
Long, sad story short: the baby delivered stillborn. It was horrible, and Shannon and her husband were heartbroken, as was their son. In the aftermath of the loss, Shannon became Supermom to her remaining son, Derek, who's only six and a major Batman fan. She dressed up as Batgirl for Halloween, and has been an awesome Ma to her boy.
Anyway...when Wave 2 came out, I promised her I would hunt up Batman. Given the difficulty finding the Wave at Toys R Us, I was getting ready to order one when I found Batman at TJ Maxx. And now he is en route to Derek as a late Christmas present from Santa. I'm told he's eagerly anticipating the latest addition to his Batman toy collection, and this makes me very happy. I will update once he gets Batman and starts playing with him.
So Doc, Emce, Mattel, Marty and anybody else who had a hand in the new Remegos...thank you. You made a little boy's late Christmas present very special, and made me and several other adults smile in what was, for friends of mine, a very rough year. Bless you for that.
