Sometimes I come across Marvel or DC branded toys and have to wonder just how the marketing pitch from the manufacturer to the publishing company went. Take, for example, the Marvel-branded RipRollerz.
As you can see below, this is essentially a ball with a cord you insert into the middle of it and then give a swift hard pull. The ball then goes skittering across the floor.
Except with the Marvel RipRollerz, the ball is simply the face of your favorite Marvel super-hero. Which is weird because who wants to see a decapitated Spidey head zooming across the floor?
Anyway, I picked up most of the run of these at the local Walgreens where they were clearanced at 49 cents each.
