Parents group rails on Mcdonalds for Marvel Happy Meal toys

I can usually understand the complaints of parent groups to some degree (and the goal of this group is admirable) but this one seems downright bizarre.
It’s hard to believe, but McDonald’s Happy Meal toys have hit a new low.
The fast food giant’s latest giveaway for preschool boys features eight Marvel comic action figures. One, The Human Torch, is a man engulfed in flames. Another, The Thing, menacingly roars “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!” at the press of a button.
They might have a point, when I went into Mcdonalds to get a free smoothie (helllllo coupon) I noticed that Captain America had taken a dive from the display case. I’m not sure if that was due to the toys duking it out because they’re overly aggressive, or if Cap was trying to make his way to the little Barbie dolls down below. Being under ice for decades makes a man unpredictable.
