Around the house there's lots of toys that don't really belong to a collection. They might be one toy that's on its own or just a couple that don't seem to fit anywhere and just stand alone. I had brought these Playtown learning curve wooden Marvel figures a long time ago. Long before Seth and Opeie and they had always just been placed on a shelf usually away from the other toys.
I had wanted to include them in a post for a while but it had seemed that Captain America had been 'missing in action' nowhere to be seen until last week when we decided to move the boys room around. I had assumed that he was off fighting his nemesis the Red Skull (Being the super soldier that he is) but it turn's out he was hiding under a chest of drawers with a Batman and a Penguin that we were also missing (they had probably been launched across the room by Opeie).
I'm really glad i have them all back as i have been wanting to show them to my friend Alice, she writes bigmilkthing who i mentioned in my last post as she and her boys really love wooden toys and they are also loving Spider-man after the surprise package from the wall crawler himself.
I remember getting quite excited when i spotted these as they were something a little different, kind of like a wooden marvel version of the Fisher Price DC Little people range. Only downside to them is that they only released the 4 characters, I'd have loved a big collection of them or even 4 villains would have been great.
Anyway I'm glad that Cap is back with the gang and Opeie is loving playing with them again although as you can imagine Spider-man gets most of his attention.
