SuperMom Origins
Since the first children roamed the earth they've been there to pick us up when we fall, kiss our boo-boos better, wash behind our ears, and make us eat our vegetables. Over their lifetimes they change thousands of our dirty diapers, cook up mountains of food, and wash countless loads of laundry. They're our moral compass and keep our lives on track with their infinite wisdom. Everyone who's ever been born has had one... some people call them moms, or mums, or mammas. But most will agree that their mom is... SuperMom.
Special Care
As a SuperMom owner you join other moms, moms-to-be and moms-in-training in a sacred trust - to help nurture moms everywhere. As with any mommy, your SuperMom Action Figure requires some care and attention to keep her happy. While SuperMom can sustain long periods of noisy, kid-related craziness, she requires an occasional breather and downtime. Be sure to arrange a girl's night out or a romantic outing.
Behavior and Social Habits
Moms occupy both ends of the totem pole... one minute they're the boss, giving orders to their troops, the next they're waiting on and taking care of their baby bosses and families, handling thankless tasks.
Feeding Instructions
Unlike children, SuperMom is made of plastic and devoid of a digestive tract, and doesn't require any direct feeding. Instead, SuperMom acquires energy from her owner - to help her thrive in her busy schedule, be sure to include copious amounts of tater tots, pizza, baby food, and kiddie leftovers in your diet, with a few rare but well deserved ice cream and chocolate treats.
Activities to Share with your SuperMom
For Mommies
Extra Eyes & Ears
Kids acting mischievous? Put your plastic parental agent to the task. SuperMom's gentle aura of authority should remind your little jekyll and hydes to be on their best behavior. She can also double as a mommy gargoyle, scaring away the monsters under the bed.
Surrogate Mini You / Time Creator
When in need of some extra hands, appoint SuperMom as your official body double, to stand-in for outings, help with overtime at the office, and make your PTA meetings if the kids are acting up. Note: toy moms aren't good babysitters...
Kid Substitute
Away from home and in need of a quick baby pick me up? Take SuperMom's baby with you. When you need a cuddle session, just pick up and play with your petite plastic person. You'll find your plastic baby has a few enhancements vs. the real thing, especially in the 'quiet time' and 'stinkiness' departments, plus it's a lot easier to manage your plastic baby's mood.
Motherhood Confessional
Having a difficult day? Need some quiet empathy? Your SuperMom, due to the fact that she's entirely composed of inert plastic, is an excellent listener. She'll listen intently to your mothering or work headaches without interrupting, crying for a cookie or tuning you out until the commercials.
Stress Management
Stress rising and problems coming out of the woodwork? Assign SuperMom to the task. Instead of asking people to 'tell it to the hand', ask them to 'tell it to SuperMom'. It's hard to argue with an action figure... unless you're in a in a straightjacket.
For Family & Friends
Mood Mirror
Want to let your better half know that today they're the worst half? Equip SuperMom with the appropriate head and tell everyone when Mom's happy or warn people if she's in need of more delicate handling.
Mom Replacement ('Mom-ento')
While never as good as the real thing, your plastic mini mommy can make a consolation companion when her human doppelganger is already spoken for. Take SuperMom shopping, on holidays or a romantic night out... the strange looks you will receive will add some extra excitement!
Mommy Idol
Do you really, really want something but need Mom's permission? Make a small offering to SuperMom, say a few mommy mantras, and hope that the real life mothering goddess will smile upon you.
Toying Around
And, why not play with your SuperMom? She's a toy, after all... have fun!
