I don’t normally shop at Walmart, but when I do…
Not to start this post out sounding like a meme or something, but literally every time I go to Walmart (which really isn’t often, but I’ll admit when I do go I inevitably spend too much), I check to see if they have Heroics in stock. My little addiction actually started when I’d gone there looking for pingpong balls. They were out of stock. So I bought one of these instead. I and was so inexplicably thrilled with my little mini Flash dude that I was instantly hooked.
Heroics are basically miniature comic book figures that come in packages about the size of a ping poing ball. You can’t tell which one you’ll get — only whether you’re getting Marvel or DC (and they do have both) so it feels a bit like a 97 cent Christmas Day when I open one up.
So I have browsed by the toy aisle every time ever since, hoping to buy just one more. But they’re always sold out. And today when I actually found some there, I bought several. :-p While wearing a Batman shirt, no less. I couldn’t decide whether the checker was incredulous or impressed. All I know is I’m happy with the haul:

But who is that green guy with purple cape and red eyes? Any ideas?
