Action Figure Reviews

What would a South Park collection be without Big Gay Al? Unthinkable! This toy has all the nuances of Al's character, along with a big gay bird and big gay siutcase. Good times!!!!

A completely odd choice for a BARBIE doll, ELEKTRA (the lone doll from the Marvel line) is finally seeing store shelves across America. Not based on the film, but the classic comic book character of Elektra, Barbie is now ready to begin her new career as cold hearted assassin (I told you this one was a bit odd)! The doll itself is Barbie quality and stays very true to the design of her original character--even coming with cute little set of sais. The packaging is a bit bland but the newly adopted ELEKTRA logo looks nice and gets the job done.

Hopefully, Marvel will see it fit to release some more dolls in this line (take a gander at DC's gorgoues line of dolls) and Elektra will have some playmates before the year is through. A great doll to add to the collection for fans of the film and comic book.

I finally bought this doll after getting batgirl first. Let me tell you, Elektra is WAY better. Besides having a removable outfit, she doesn't have Batgirl's ugly, freaky, bendable body. She is an AMAZING doll and is definetally worth buying.

I got this doll a few days ago after waiting months for it to be released and let me tell you it was worth the wait! Elektra is beautiful! Her outfit can come off, but I haven't tried because just geussing it would be a major pain to put back on! There are only 2 things I don't like about her, 1) her shoes are fabric stocking thingys instead of boots and 2) her lunchbox just says Elektra on it instead of having a picture of her on it.But for the first of hopefully many Marvel Superhero Barbies, this is a good start!

our xevoz came quickly, in excellent condition, with lots of goodies (amazing, giant-chock-full, color catalogs and a cool mousepad). what a great shopping experience!

This was a good package to buy, the runeslayer has good durable joins and the firedrake along with the runeslayer have awesome weapons, I was pleased with my order, came on time as well.

My son is a big Dracula fan. This one is real hands on. It was just what we expected. Love it!!!

The detail is excellent, so is the quality. My 4 year old daughter loves the old monsters, and she just loves this toy.

If you favor the Classics this is definitely one for you. Nice details...including the coffin sand. Great amount of extras....and the box itself arrived in Grade "A+" status. Perfect addition to the whole collection of Famous Classic Monster Movies from the days before all the special effects we now experience with the Van Helsing genre'...etc. Bela Lugosi in all his glory...I prefer the B+W version...as it's much truer to the original film. Nice coffin includes enough sand weight to thrill any youngster....although I plan to put this baby away in deep freeze for the grandkids in 10 to 20 years. A steal at its green price...and I just love how Amazon was able to give me Bela, Frank and Lon Chaney the Wolfman. Nice set...with the tree and bat....sets the stage for a great shelf display for my young grandson's room many years from now. Such a steal of a price....grab it while you can!

this item is small and not durable at all .... with on touch it all goes down ... very bad item

In the cartoon , duke and scarlett where lovers . In the comic , snake eyes was her lover . This set was made with the comic in mind ... however if they wanted to make it better , they would have included duke and made it a love triangle set!

THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS SET IS YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BOX AND PUT THEM BACK IN TO DISPLAY !
IT'S THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS !!!!!

A nice 2 pack to get which is usually only seen on the internet every once in a while. Snake eyes looks top notch in black and his almost original figure outfit (minus roadblocks waist which still works on with him). His weapons include a submachine gun, a sword, backpack, and either binoculars or an explosive pouch (heard different people with different ideas on what it is). Scarlett has her original outfit with just a slight change in the shade of colors. Her weapons include a crossbow, 2 swords, and a backpack. One thing you will notice that unlike most figures now, she only looks left and right, not up and down as well. If you look closely you can see her color makes it that way. Just a side note in case you were wondering, besides that I suggest you get this 2 pack right away as they are getting harder and harder to find.

Why would you want to own a toy of this self-rightous loser?

shipping was horrible the condition in which the box and the item were in was deplorable, amazon will be lucky if they recieve continous purchases from myself towards simular items such as this.

Three things surprise me about the Andy Pettitte figure that McFarlane Toys has produced as part of the MLB Series 10 figures. First, is that they waited until Series 10 to produce a figure of Pettitte. Of course, the problem was that until this season Pettitte played for the New York Yankees instead of the Houston Astros and McFarlane tries to avoid having more than one player from a team in a particular series. This principle worked until MLB Series 8 when not only did they have Yankees Hideki Matsui and Alfonso Soriano, but Kevin Brown and Alex Rodriguez, both of who were traded to the Yankees. McFarlane quickly switched the Brown figure from Dodgers home white to Yankees road gray. But by the time it was Pettitte's turn he had signed as a free agency and coaxed his friend and Yankee teammate Roger Clemens out of retirement as well.

So the second surprise is that Pettitte is shown in the Astros home white jersey instead of the red jersey since MLB Series 10 also includes an Astros version of the Roger Clemens 6" figure wearing the red top. I expected McFarlane to present the duo as something of a matched set, especially since that it how the press was treating them during the off-season and spring training. Since then we have had the irony of the 42 year old Clemens leading the NL in wins and the younger Pettitte being on the disabled list twice already in the 2004 season. Usually you can find home and road versions of a figure but if there is one for Pettitte I have not come across it yet.

Finally, McFarlane often captures these baseball players in familiar poses, such as Sammy Sosa's home run hop or Barry Bonds pointing to the heavens after crossing home play. Pettitte has a distinctive pose as well: peering over his glove at the batter with his hat pulled won over his eyes. Of course that works better in a close up on television or an 8 x 10 photograph, and what we have instead is the left-hander about reared back about to fire the pitch. Pettitte has been one of the best lefties in recent years, having to date won 153 games versus only 79 losses with a 3.93 E.R.A. in the middle of the 10th year of his career. His postseason record is an even more impressive 16-5 and he was the ALCS Most Valuable Player in 2001.

The figure is relatively free of dirt, an element that has been a bit excessive on some of the McFarlane figures in recent series. There is some limited articulation with the figure, but basically what you see pictured here is how you are going to end up posing this one. Pettitte and Clemens join a trio of previous Astros figures with Jeff Bagwell (Series 8), Lance Berkman (Series 4), and Roy Oswalt (Series 3). The rest of Series 10 consists of Rafael Palmeiro of the Orioles, Curt Schilling of the Red Sox, Mark Mulder of the A's, Garret Anderson of the Angels, and Carlos Delgado of the Blue Jays, along with the second figures of the Yankees' Derek Jeter and the Cardinals' Albert Pujols.
