The Metallo toy, on the other hand, had a button on his back one could push to make his chest pop open and have a chunk of kryptonite poke out.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382811944483828955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-68616300226783743462016-05-28T16:38:57.689-03:002016-05-28T16:38:57.689-03:00I do like that Kal's ship created a wormhole s...I do like that Kal's ship created a wormhole straight to Earth, and that you saw kryptonite and possibly other debris going through to our corner of the universe.
