Superman ushers in the official Facebook page for The Amazing Toyland's Blog
To inaugurate the Facebook page for The 
Amazing Toyland Blog, We set our eyes on one of the most iconic 
characters in comics, movies, and beyond. Superman has a weird history 
as an action figure, at a certain point in the early 90's, because
 of licensing rights being tied up by a company that wasn't interested 
in making Superman action figures, we were without a plastic update 
since Super Powers. However since the rights got freed up to Kenner, we 
have seen quite a few Superman toylines come and go. Most recently we 
had the Superman Man of Steel motion picture figures. With wicked cool 
sculpted Kryptonian armor,a 3.75 inch scale, but sadly limited 
articulation these poor toys are languishing in closeout chain's like 
Ohio's own Marc's and the national chain Five Below. One of the cooler 
items at the launch of the movie tie in line was Target's 5pack 
exclusive, which gave us Jor El as portrayed by Russel Crow. A figure 
that deserved wider distribution due to his key role in Man of Steel. (Edit 11/23/15: The Jor El figure can be seen in the front lower left of the attached image)
