Review – Marvel SuperHeroes Chocolate Egg


Line: Marvel

Tuesday afternoon, while walking through the hotel district in Cancun, Gina and I decided to stop and grab drinks at a little convenience store. And as we always do when out on vacation we poked around the shop a bit and, after a few moments, I found myself leaving the store with more than just a drink. This Marvel SuperHeroes chocolate egg, for example, just had to come home with me.

Forgettable Chocolate

Not terrible, but the chocolate egg surrounding the plastic capsule that was holding a tiny Spider-Man toy was not the greatest chocolate that I’ve ever tasted. But then I didn’t spend my buck for the chocolate, so rather than launch into a discussion on chocolate (no need to, because the darker the chocolate the better it is) let’s instead take a look at the little Spider-Man toy that was my “surprise.”

Some Assembly Required

Counting the base, this 1.5-inch tall Spider-Man toy was in a total of five pieces that I had to snap together. Not exactly challenging, but then this was never meant to be more than a tiny trinket for kids so it’s not really fair to compare this to something like a model kit. And hey, Spider-Man was in one piece and ready for his photos in under a minute so I’ll say that as a cheap toy for kids this one’s a winner.

A Simplistic Spider-Man Collectible

It’s basically a capsule machine toy, so the sculpt and paint are just barely passable and come together to make this clearly Spider-Man. As you can see Spider-Man has decided to take up dancing and is captured here getting ready to win the dance off. The spider symbol and eyes appear to be a quick tampo job while the blue looks like it’s the only real paintwork on the red plastic toy.

Really, a Chocolate Egg Review?

Hey, so sue me if I like to have fun and toss random junk up on battlegrip.com from time to time. This little plastic Spider-Man toy isn’t something you should even search for, but if you ever run across a box of cheap plastic Marvel SuperHeroes chocolate eggs then grab a couple for the toys . . . but do not eat the chocolate.

Philip Reed bought two egg toys at the convenience store in Cancun . . . but the second one wasn’t a Marvel toy. What was it? You’ll find out soon enough.
