I picked up this Marvel Avengers and Other Heroes #2 magazine at the local Dollar Tree this morning. The cover features Iron Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Count Dracula. Most of it is dedicated to the Marvel Avengers Secret Wars story titled "Wings in the Night!" The Avengers (Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Vision) battles Count Dracula as Chthon possesses his body. There are activities like mazes, match games, puzzles and how to draw. Members of the Guardians of the Galaxy only appear once on a match game page. Spider-Man and his friends also appear only once with a two-page crossword puzzle (this should have been devoted to the Avengers). Overall, the magazine is not bad for the price, but I have the feeling that I have read this story before.

Avengers: Infinity War DVD
Avengers: Infinity War is another Marvel movie that I have yet to watch all the way through in one setting. I usually miss the beginning so I was glad to find this DVD at the local Dollar General. The price was only $4.95 and now I can finally watch it all the way through. There are so many superheroes from Doctor Strange to Spider-Man on the front cover that I couldn't tag all of them.

T-shirt Tuesday: Periodic Table of Marvel
Wow, I haven't bought a t-shirt since the Black Panther Starry T-shirt back in 2021.

The superheroes include Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Black Panther, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Vision, Doctor Strange, She-Hulk, Nova, Black Bolt, Clea, Ant Man, Wasp, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Falcon, Lockjaw, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Woman and Ghost Rider.

I picked up three boxes of this year's superhero Valentines at the local Dollar Tree. That proved to be a bit of a mistake on my part. First off is the Avengers Valentines, which is the same as last year's Avengers Valentines except that it has the following stickers:

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 8: Marvel Avengers 48 Valentines
I actually picked up this box of Marvel Avengengers 48 Valentines at the local Dollar Tree last month. The artwork is actually pretty good. The Valentine's Day cards features Falcon, Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, Vision, Black Widow, Hulk and War Machine. It was made in China and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Berwick, PA. There is no copyright date on the back so I will be expecting them to be on the shelves again next year.

Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meal Box
I actually got a few of the Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meals from the local McDonald's in October. The front of the box features Black Widow in her white outfit. The right panel features "The Power of Protein" so you can turn your milk into a super hero with a punch out Vision cape.
The back panel shows only a smile to put you in a happy mood. The left panel lists all the action figures available in the Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meal and includes: Falcon, Winter Soldier, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Potted Groot, Gladiator Hulk, The Wasp, Hulkbuster and Black Widow.
I will be showing the action figure toys that I got in the next few days.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 Day 1: Avengers Infinity War Valentines With Thumb Tattoos
Each thumb tattoo is 1" x 1-1/2" and includes such Marvel superheroes as Vision, Hulk, Iron Man, Groot, Black Panther, Black Widow, Doctor Strange and Spder-Man
Eight Valentine cards are all connected on a strip and there are four strips. The first four includes Black Widow, Iron Man, Black Panther and Steve Rogers not in his Captain America costume.
The backs of the first four Valentine cards:
The last four includes Vision, Thor, Spider-Man and Thanos, who gets an extra wide one since he's so big.
The back of the extra wide Thanos Valentine card not only includes him but also includes the movie version of Doctor Strange in a circle and the comic version of Scarlet Witch.
There is also a sheet of 32 red heart stickers that I didn't scan. Overall, the artwork on the Valentine cards and thumb tattoos are not bad.

New Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron Checks and Labels at Walmart Flyer
You can view all the checks at Avengers: Age of Ultron Checks (other checks include Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and Ultron). You can also view all the address labels at Avengers: Age of Ultron Address Labels (other labels include Black Widow, the Vision, Nick Fury and the Hulk).
Unfortunately, the flip side of the flyer is just a generic ad for Walmart Check Printing featuring a pretty blonde.
I'm still waiting for the DC Comics's Bombshells checks.
