A Tiny Giant, that is how I describe this Toy. The picture of the product advertised resembled a superman. I thought this toy would be the perfect Christmas gift for my nephew. But wait! When I received this item in the mail I thought.... what a trickery. The toy was the size of a just conceived embryo in its mother's wound. Certainly not the 'superman' image that I perceived.
The toy measured 3 inches long by 2.5 inches wide and weighed about 1 ounce. The armor worn by this superman image was knee high boots, breast plate vest, large hand gloves, a helmet and a trunk all of which were red in color. I was too embarrassed to give this miniature toy as a Christmas gift, so I kept it for myself. I found it fascinating that the both hands and head of this 'midget' iron man could spin around 360 degrees. This meant that the turning of the head and hands in different directions changed the posture and appearance of this iron man toy. Therefore, the 'iron man' could appear to be in a fighting mode, a surrender mode or even in a peaceful loving mode.
Despite the small size of the toy, it possessed amazing features which inspired me to look at life differently. The message was "do not take things at Face Value". In conclusion, the quote for today would be "Do not judge a book by its cover".
