Real life Superheroes

We've heard the stories about real life superheroes patrolling the streets of various cities around the country, well, now we've actually have video evidence of them.

Spidey is the King

As indicated Spidey is visiting the King of Burgers, for some lunch (and where he’ll be hanging out for at least a couple of more weeks).

Today we have a (real) swinging Spidey who is hanging from a gargoyle that (as we know) are protruding from rooftops all around the Big Apple.

We noted that this series of toys is tied into the Spectacular Spider-Man animated TV show. From what we can tell thus far, these are rather cool-looking toys (although we still have some issues with the inclusion of the backback clips in these sets, as we personally prefer figures as opposed to the clips, but I can understand that the folks who make them are under the impression that young kids like to have these clips).

At any rate, I’m always just happy to have the toys themselves. I figure that these Spidey toys will lead into the enevitable Iron Man set (tying — naturally enough — into the Golden Avenger’s upcoming movie, which is due out May 7).

Anyway, that’s it for now. I’m hoping to hit a different BK over the weekend and score the next toy in the series (sometimes the franchises offere the toys in different sequences.
