Avengers: Age of Ultron @ Subway

Well, for a while now we’ve been complaining about the fact that since Disney bought Marvel Comics there seems to have been no Marvel movie toy tie-ins with any fast food restaurant. It has long been our opinion that Disney is leery of they “Your food made my kid fat” mantra of some folk, and have thus cut back on this form of marketing. Another theory is that as the Avenger films are not necessarily deemed as "kid fare" Disney has simply opted not to pitch to fast food chains (mot very likely due to all of the other kid-friendly items out there in the marketplace).

Well, while we are still looking for Marvel Movie/fast food figures and toys, we did recently see that Subway is issuing a bunch of Avenger tie-ins to go with the new Ultron film. The “toys” are actually a group of six cardboard fold-out figures that require assembling, and look rather cool.

There is also a drink cup with a code on it that is redeemable for prizes on the Subway website. 

Oh, and here is the Poster for the promotion.

More Marvel Tchachkas

So, just because I have this stuff laying all around me and I wanted to make you guys jealous talk about it, I figure that I’d post pics of a couple of other Spidey/Marvel-related stuff I acquired from a dispensing machine a couple of years ago.

The “gum machine” was located inside the breezeway of a local Wal-Mart. Every time I went in I dropped a quarter in the machine. Lucky for me, I never wound up with any duplicates.

These items were like a quarter (if I recall correctly). There might have been more of them, but I have a tendency to stop picking up this stuff when I score the Spidey toy. Anyway, these were small, plastic medallions hung on a string.

As you can see, I have Spider-Man, an FF logo, The Thing, and I believe the last one is Thanos (I was reminded of them when Tommy brought up the stickers he got in the ‘90s).

I also have a Christmas ornament that my kids got me at a craft show which I’ll post as soon as I get the image out of my phone. Currently the ornament hangs on the wall of my office.
