Supes with a motorcycle and a weapon. Did they accidentally put the wrong superhero on the package by mistake? And what is with the garbled English on the back?

Aramis: Yes, sorry.

It is sooo obviously a Chinese knock-off... The doll looks like Superman from the 70's.

Why on Earth would Superman need a motorcycle if he can fly?  Dumb toy.

Well, uh, it might be easier to make your plastic toy Superman ride a motorcycle than to make it fly.
Besides, as we saw in Superman Returns, sometimes the Big Blue Boy Scout loses his powers... who's to day he doesn't need a motorcycle when he does?
And moreover... uh, moreover... oh, moreover those photos were hilarious!!!! Imagine poor Supes' discovery: own lover Louis silk (!!!) has already had the male friend and a child the (a child the what? A child, the fruit of unfaithfulness? A child, the fruit of faithfulness - uh, you know what I mean?)
Thanks for finding this and sharing it with us!!

There WAS a warning in the beginning of the post, GuineaPants.  Incredible what they will do to sell toys for children. The interesting part is that the choking hazard warnings are perfect (no English errors). Wonder if the warnings are put AFTER it's imported. malu

Read story before the reading of this thread, but loudly did I smile for the funniness of. To ride choking hazard when fly he can would be of oddness for surety. Short tale to fall out of this picture there for Beth is complete naturalness.

Notice he has to re-return to New York.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.
