A blog about action figures and the toy industry in general by writer and collector Poe Ghostal.

Toy Aisle Trolls > Iron’s Not Here, Man

Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com. Also, please note: I’m deliberately being over-the-top with my condemnation of these people–I don’t actually wish bodily harm upon them. Just severe mental anguish.

Submitted by Poester 3B. Just out-and-out thievery here, folks–they tore right through the bubble!

The best part? It’s still on the shelves! And for once, the vendor isn’t Wal-Mart, but TRU.

To the thief: yes, it is all your fault your parents got divorced.

    shame that it wasn't Stealth Armor Ironman… that way we could have a Stealth Armor is being REALLY Stealthy… I'll call it Invisible Armor Ironman…

    I've seen this kinda stuff happen at TRUs (still not as much as Walmart). That Iron Man is fairly common at Walmarts, guess he doesn't visit them?

    Yes! The punishments are back!

    The thing that gets me is the guy left the best part of that figure – the weapon blast.

    this dude deserves to have his nuts tossed into the nearest lawnmower.

    It could be some kid,no self respecting scalper would steal and leave the accessories.

    kids are even worse… who's teaching these kids how to steal? if you're not 100% in, don't go at all! missing the accessory… talk about missing the point!

    LOL! That punishment is very fitting.

    And I agree, the blast accessory is the best part. I use mine for DCUC Sinestro, works perfectly since he's smaller.

    Yeah,his punishment is his parents divorcing because his Dad touches him at night and Daddy gets custody.
