The Man of Steel is coming to Hardee’s (and Arby’s)

That’s right Superhero fans, it looks like The Man of Steel will tie in to a toy set at both Hardee’s (and Arby’s

As we get closer to the release date of Man of Steel, the promotional partnerships will really start to ramp up and the latest one is with Carl's Jr./Hardee's. They are launching their "Super Bacon Cheeseburger" to promote the movie. The commercial was directed by Zack Snyder and features Henry Cavill.

And here is a TV commercial that is (apparently) currently running.

Oh, and just to retain balance, here is an old Hardee’s/Arby’s commercial staring Stan Lee, and promoting one of the Spider-Man movies.

This past year, Sony chose to re-launch the Spider-Man movie franchise with The Amazing Spider-Man. Well, while we weren’t completely impressed with the new iteration of our favorite hero, we did enjoy the film if only for the re-introduction of Gwen Stacy, our one-true love.

Well, as you all know, we are not just ga-ga over Spidey, we love it when a set of toys featuring the webbed one hits the fast food nation. As expected, with the advent of the new film, there was indeed a new set of toys, only they were issued by Carl’s Jr. & Hardee’s which are both essentially Left Coast franchises. As some of you may recall, Carl’s Jr. was also the franchise that issued the first set of Spidey toys, back in ’02.

Anyways, it took us a while, but we finally tracked down a full set of the ASM movie set, and here it is.

First up is the bag that all of these goodies came in (apparently with some food, I’m told)

 Then there was a “flicker” ring

 A “stick-up” Spidey figure

and a set of nine (9) collectible cards: Here are the backs...

 ...and here are the faces.

A couple of the other cool parts of the Spidey-related stuff from that film include the following...

A coupoun for some online game.

The cellophane packaging in which the toys came,

and the foil pack in which the cards were packed

And now they’re all mine. Hopefully when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits the big screen in 2014, the toys will be issued by a franchise that is closer to me, and I’ll actually be able to check out some of the food that comes with these toys. 

On July 4th, Spider-Man Eats Free at Hardee's

This is so totally cool!



Unfortunately, the nearest Hardee’s to me is 160 miles away in Delaware.Needless to say, if you are closer, go for it.
