Damn it! Why are the best toy ideas wasted on kids?
It looks like if you want to reenact the cartoons of your childhood or the new-classic Robot Chicken DC parodies, you might have to get yourself a toddler first, or at least walk shamelessly into their section of the toy store. The Legion of Doom’s swamp headquarters, which also looks suspiciously like a giant Darth Stewie helmet from Family Guy (repaint possibility!) will NEVER be made in scale to your $20 Mattel DC Universe figures, but Imaginext, which already got a kickass action-loaded Batcave, now has a place for the baddies to hide out.
Because a bright blue saucer in a green swamp screams “hiding.” Of course, the kids this is aimed at think putting their hands over their faces equals hiding, so they’re not too hard to fool when you think about it.
