I never thought I was much of an action figure/toy collecting kind of guy. That is, until I started raising step-kids — who have since honored me and my Ms. with a grandchild (for her sake, I’ll refer to her for now as Baby Gojira).

The presence of my stepkids and Baby G in our lives (albeit these days from a distance) reminded me that being an adult and a trusted caregiver afforded me the pleasure and opportunity of walking in both worlds, often at the same time. Think “With great power comes great… you know what” and you’ll know what I mean…

Along those lines, I was really floored to see the variety of Spider-Man 3 toys jammed to the ceiling at my local department store — until they start advertising in this space, they’ll be referred to as The Red Bullseye — from web shooters, to rocket cars, chairs, masks, backpacks, skates and, even ridiculously flimsy baseball bats.

As a public service to Spidey fans and Blog@ readers, I gladly volunteered to snap a few pictures of the strange and cool images of toys whilst flitting around young hordes of The Red Bullseye stockers (yep, my Barney Fife-like Spider-Sense still tingles on occasion) for your information amusement.

FYI: As far as I could see at the one store I shopped, only one toy was completely sold out. Hit the link for what could be the most hard-to-find Spidey 3 toy of them all, then hit the jump for more toys.
