Celebrate Christmas in January with Superman taking off his pants!

…Or maybe he’s putting them on. But it’s still kinda weird.

What th — !? “MAGIC?” Superman’s one weakness that isn’t kryptonite?
What kind of nefarious scheme is this?

Unrealistic expectations ahoy!

The company that made the scuba gear also made a set of Superman horseshoes. I looked it up, since this pic seemed like a case of “one of these things is not like the other” — unless they’re underwater horseshoes.

Click the above pic for the full enchilada. And if you’re wondering about the Super-Suits, I already addressed them a few years back.

I’m more disturbed by “Peter Puppet Playthings” than any unrealistic expectations of the muscle building set.

I imagine Luthor has one of those Superman Bop Bags in his office. Heck, LexCorp probably owns Plastic Heat Sealing Co.

Sad thing is, every one of those items are probably now worth a small fortune to collectors.

Of course those are underwater horseshoes, what else are seahorses supposed to wear?

I clicked the link to see the other ad for the playsuits and saw that they were made out of rayon. Man, those must have been some comfy costumes!

No doubt one of the side effects of Corduroy Kryptonite.
