Hey....I love men and male genetalia and hopefully will never have to deal with the "gross" part of girls in ever my life (personally I think I'm just fine), so I can't really argue on this going on my sample size of 1 (me).

Um....grow up in Miami...go to the beach, this can happen innocently as a kid or well......not so innocently as an adult.

Oh great. Now were going to see some dumb person wear an Ironman mask and try to make an order at BoogerKing.

They're plastic because plastic can hold more detail than metal now thanks to advances in the technology used.

I love the fact that you're wearing your glasses OVER the Iron Man helmet in the first picture. It makes you look like Grandpa Iron Man trying to read the fine print on a restaurant receipt to make sure you didn't get charged too much for soup.

Most pure metal toys will break easily. Metal is strong in large amounts, but when it is that small it tends to break when dropped. Some of the more durable die-cast toys used plastic joints. Maybe metal plating would work.

This equipment is plastic so you can get it through security at the airport, which you need to do to get it onto the airplane, which would be helpful if you plan to stop a hijacker, which you need to do to join Iron Man's Rusties Junior League and get your decoder ring.

@LindsayJoy: I'd just like to say, kidney stones hurt, a lot. If you've ever broken a bone, it's worse than that. Now the million dollar question, how does one get sand in her vagina?

@thenastyz28: Don't you remember Toni's "Love Machine" armor from issue 2 of the Iron Man 4 part series, Love Machine? It was right after the who War Machine mess. I wonder if it comes with the butt oil gauntlets...

Plastic is a petroleum product. They've got to keep us addicted to plastic! It's in their best financial interest until we exhaust all the oil.

Metal is easy to get. It doesn't line as many pockets as oil.

Oh, and generally speaking, hitting your sister in the face with a plastic toy leaves less of a dent than the die cast metal ones.

I know you are probably referring to boys, but getting sand in your vagina *really* hurts. Like passing a kidney stone for a guy hurts.

I really do not like plastic toys. They look cheap. I would prefer die cast everything.

Plastic is much cheaper to make toys out of in most cases, even with the skyrocketing price of oil. You also end up with a lighter product which is easier to pass safety tests with and much cheaper to ship.

You don't need to look it up.

In any case, you had me at "toys out of bacon."
Mmmm...bacon-toys.

tegronin — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:24:20 EDT

meh, i'll wait until they start making toys out of bacon.
i remember having die-cast metal action figures (Eagle Force Adventurers or something), toys were painted with lead, miniatures were painted with lead, if you had a nice new cr you may have had lap belts int he back, bench seats all around, no airbags, sit on parents lap and drive...
kids today cry if they get sand in their vaginas.

remember what happened when you were a kid and took a nasty spill on your bmx? you saw blood, maybe some stitches or a broken bone... but you got back ont hat boke and rode it home. if you got hit in gym, you took a lap. we baby kids too much these days.

@wingbatwu: dude what do you think gi joes were painted with? my kids grew up in a house full of lead based paint. If your kid's not smart enough to know not to eat paint-chips or put dirty ass action figures into their mouths.... Toys are the LEAST of your problems....

On the other hand, if they were metal, they'd probably be made in China out of lead painted lead, for added lethality.

and dont even get me started on "nerf".. WTF? What ever happened to good old fashion bb guns. My boy used to stop the ice cream truck to buy a tube of bbs and some ciggerete bubble gum. How many times did I have to pay the old lady across the street to fix her hole-ridden windows? That's what being a parent is all about....

fuck that! My kid had die-cast dino transformers that could kill you. The stegasaoraus and the triceratops. Try running with those. Fuck seat-belts, too. That's the problem with kids nowadays, we pussy them way too much.
