I think the "Vengeance is Mine" may have been from a Punisher figure, as well. The same line had a Venom whose one quote was "I want to eat your brain!" Hearing Barbie say _that_ would have been fun, too!

I remember one time when I working at Hot Topic, a woman came into the store with her toddler. Although anyone can walk in, admittedly Hot Topic appeals more to teenagers, so I definitely wasn't used to seeing little kids running around the store. He went to our Funko pop wall and really wanted a Pennywise Funko pop. His mom just looked at me and said, "He LOVES Pennywise." MA'AM HE IS A TODDLER WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM WATCH IT???? I'm not sure if she understood that IT wasn't meant for CHILDREN CHILDREN even though Pennywise is a clown. So even if a toy is advertised to 13+ or whatever the demographic, I think a lot of parents don't really understand what they're buying for their kids and then get mad about it later when they look into it. Warnings don't matter to them

Now that I think of it, the original Toy Biz figures of Marvel characters used to make an (X-Factor) Iceman that had blue icicle-shaped paint on him that appeared when he was placed in the freezer. Those had a generous run, but when they tried to produce a Fantastic Four Invisible Woman figure, cost won out, and the full paint job of making her turn from transparent to blue and white of her uniform, and her blonde hair and her skin color was deemed too expensive, and she was discontinued. She was later released in transparent alone, no effects. Her body and hairstyle were later repurposed into a repaint, and a mechanism was added to become a Spider-Woman II figure.

See, I had thought that Iceman was a myth because all I ever saw was the blue-tinted "Ice Slide Action" version that didn't have the icicle effect. I have both now, but I hear the color change version's plastic is particularly brittle.

I love the storyline where Al Snow beat Hardcore Holly in a match, when he hit Holly with Head, and used Head to cover him. When Holly wanted his Hardcore Title back, Al informed him that he wasn't the Hardcore Champ, but since Head had covered him, Head was the new champ, and Holly would have to ask Head for a title shot, which Holly found ridiculous, talking to a mannequin head, until he relented. Head "refused". Later, Hardcore Holly told Snow to have a match with Head, and win the belt back off him, so that then Holly could challenge Snow for the belt. Seeing Al Snow roll around the ring, fighting a mannequin head was hilarious, and finally Snow pinned Head, but used his wooden riding horse, Pepe, to do it. When Holly then asked Snow for a shot, Snow said that Pepe actually pinned Head, so now Pepe was the new Hardcore Champion. A very funny story indeed.
