Faked in China

In 2006 Hasbro released the Marvel Super Hero Squad line of action figures. The figures are little - only about two inches tall, on average - and made of plastic. They are rendered in what is known as the "super deformed" style: small, stumpy arms and legs, oversized heads, and hands with four, instead of five, fingers. This aesthetic appeals primarily to very small children, and the Super Hero Squad - classic Marvel comic book characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Thor - was designed, as you may have guessed, as a gateway drug for 2- and 3-year-old boys.
