It's back to severely deformed human action figures this week, and boy are there some losers on display. It's all DC Comics this time around, so I just hope the folks over there don't take inspiration from toys, because you're about to see something that would be too horrific for EC Comics.

bootleg action figure blog comes another edition of:
There is so much fail in this one package, that I could easily get 10-12 editions of Bootleg Tuesday out of it. First off, the text here is absolutely classic. "Collect them all new supermans" alongside "Fighting for the peace of the world" and finally "Superman come back" is a trio of terrible English so potent that this post will feature twice as many typos as usual. The mix and match of various era's and media's Superman images is only appropriate given the eclectic nature of the toys themselves.
Once you've spotted Superman riding a Dinosaur in the image above, is there really anything else that needs to be said? Just ponder that image for a moment, tuck it away deep into the pockets of your brain, and any time you're in a dreadful mood, just pull it out and have a laugh. He's riding a yellow dinosaur. Superman come back indeed. The image below is where things take a turn for the deadly.
This is a total abomination of plastic. Why would the plastic god allow this kind of horror and deformation to exist in his world? The crushed head is only rivaled by the plugs removed from parts of his flesh. That's not to mention the spinal alignment issues and bone mutations. Mamma Kent must have had one hell of a time trying to sew the costume that fits this monstrosity. I think it might actually be dangerous to play with this, for fear of infection. Bootlegger biological warfare? Count me out.
Believe it or not, there are even more terrifying images of this set, including a video where the dinosaur makes a noise you'll never forget, over at The Undiscovered Playthings, so check it out!
