The Marvel Family figures look great, but shouldn't they look a bit--I don't
know--happier?

Thomas, I think they're mad because the packaging for that set of Captain
Marvel figures cannot use the word "Marvel", so they're labled "Mary",
Captain Jr." and "Shazam".

Really nice figures, though.

Funny/Sad
It's the "Shazam Family" figures, made up of Shazam, Captain Jr and Mary."...the Wizard SHAZAM, grants Billy Batson the powers of Captain to protect himself, and fight evil."
I know about the onwership of the name and the lawsuit etc etc , but it's so F'ing stupid not to be able to call Captain Marvel by his name on these things.
Other than that, wicked cool figures!

And they don't look mad. More "heroically determined" than anything.

Storm used to be the resident gardener of the X-Mansion, using her powers to cultivate an immaculate garden (if memory serves).
