We might be stretching things a little too thin when we say there are some potential 'Man of Steel' spoilers hidden in the upcoming Superman toys... but what if we're not? Work-in-progress commercials for Mattel's latest line of toys, which are said to tie into Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' movie, have leaked online, one of which features the rumored appearance of Black Zero from the comics... but

Here are 11 awesome toys from the 1990's we wish we could play with right now.

Toys in the '70s sure were awesome, but let's face it -- they weren't always well-thought-out. In that spirit, we present 'Hugo: Man of a Thousand Faces,' a large plastic doll that surely qualifies as one of the most disturbing toys of all time. If you owned one, you have our sympathy.

We assumed this guy was the world's worst dad for taking his son's favorite toy and launching it into space. But it turns out he could track it using GPS so that it wouldn't be lost forever, and he is actually the coolest dad on earth because now his kid has a video of his train in space...

We know, we know—it's only September. When it comes to toys, though, it's never too early to start thinking about the holiday season, especially for retailers. It is big business. Huge business. The buying frenzy of the holidays can comprise 40 percent of the total annual profit for a toy store. With this in mind, Toys R Us has released their 2012 Holiday Hot Toy List to get a head start on the ho

This 2000-foot long Hot Wheels track can’t be contained by a single house. It creeps out into the yard and the sidewalk, and will make your inner-child very, very jealous.

Recently, Mattel released Tokidoki Barbie, a hipster version of their iconic doll which comes complete with pink hair, an ironic half-shirt and visible tattoos on her chest, neck and shoulder. Finally, a Barbie who thinks you’re lame for playing with dolls.

These crazy chemists create a fire-breathing demon spawn by mixing potassium nitrate, iron oxide and icing sugar inside of a doll’s head. Halloween is right around the corner.

Micaël Reynaud stop motion short ‘King of Legoland’ features a nostalgic look at the popular childhood favorites of the 1980s like Transformers and Matchbox cars. Check out the video, which is set to Hunting Charlie’s Band(e) Samuel Vielliard’s catchy song of the same name, below.

Move over, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Nelly: the Beastie Boys have also been immortalized as commercially available action figures. And, in a rather superhero-like gesture, Mike “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and Adam “MCA” Yauch are donating the proceeds from sales of their limited-edition figures to charity.

What could be better than working at Legoland? Pulling a Lego prank on your boss, of course. Employees at Legoland California built a full-sized replica of general manager Peter Rochetti’s car out of the colorful blocks. Made out of 201,076 Lego pieces and weighing in at 2,934 pounds, the copy is an almost identical likeness to Rochetti’s Volvo XC60. Watch the caper (and the big cheese’s reaction)
