The words "precious" and "superhero" don't usually go together in my book, but 3age's line of Marvel toy figures seems to be working that connection pretty hard. I ran across this toy figure of Daredevil yesterday while browsing the new items at Ningyoshi and decided that it was, in fact, even cuter than the plush roasted chicken I had oooohed over just a few minutes earlier.

I went looking for more information on these 3age toys and found some good links at Pidgeon Blog. There's two series of toy figures in the line so far, including this one, featuring a very sweet Silver Surfer, and this one (look at how cute Ghost Rider's flaming head is!) The figures remind me of the Muppet Babies because they seem like infant versions rather than miniatures.
