Mega Man 6 inch Articulated Action Figure- Cutman Review

Mega Man 6 inch Articulated Action Figure- Cutman

The first line of Jazwares Mega Man figures was fantastic. The sculpt was poor and lacked the details of the later figures but their plastic was more sturdy, had decent quality paint and some metal to support their joints.
Every line after has been of worse and worse quality.
Cutman, Quickman and Axl's knee joints have all snapped despite being used only for display. This is due to brittle plastic laden with bubbles in the knee joints. Quickman has his own specific issue with cheap paint. Because of the makeup of his fists the paint easily scrapes right off.
If you're looking for a cheap figure to last a few months they're fine figures. If you intend to keep the things for any length of time be prepared to attempt repairing their broken little knees. Jazwares is patently unhelpful if you can even find a valid way to contact them.
edit: 01/06/09- Cutman has joined the legion of one-legged robots. Only two of six robots from this line still have the correct number of limbs. As is the case with all the others, the broken plastic is hollow in the center because.

"Hey Mega Man, long time no see! You're looking sharper than before!"Although he was created with tree-trimming work in mind, it seems that CutMan is unable to keep out of Dr. Wily's grasp for long. He is repeatedly brought back to act against Mega Man in the mad scientist's plots, some 6 times to date. Once, CutMan was even modified to play soccer against Mega Man in one of Wily's crazier schemes. Will he factor into the madman's schemes again? Includes 2 rolling cutters, robot sidekick, and exclusive mini figure.

Radio Flyer Tailspin Trike, Red Review

First, this toy definitely requires the rider to be wearing a helmet and I would also strongly recommend knee and elbow pads. As the description states, the rider drives straight and then pulls on the bar which results in a wicked spin out. Beware however that the rider will spin quickly and if they are close to anything when they pull this bar (such as a parked car), they could spin right into it. My husband was able to assemble the trike without any difficulty. What I noticed right away was this toy was really light weight. Our 6 (almost 7) year old son thought it was incredibly cool to ride. Unfortunately however the handlebar assembly snapped literally in my son's hand while he was in spinout mode making the bike completely inoperable (lightweight materials do have their downside). This occurred after only about 3 uses. There is clearly a lot of force placed on the handlebar when the rider is spinning out. We contacted Radio Flyer directly and they were aware of this problem (they thought they had resolved it before marketing the product) and sent the appropriate replacement parts. It took a while to disassemble the bike to install the new handlebar however it was worth the effort because our son really loves this trike. All in all, a very enjoyable toy and major thumbs up to Radio Flyer for standing behind their product and quickly replacing the defective parts.
Update....After several more uses, all tires are wearing out very prematurely. This trike will be inoperable after a few more uses as the tires, which are nearly bald, will have absolutely no tread left. Considering how expensive this trike was, I'm actually disappointed in the overall durability of this toy. It's still a lot of fun, just don't expect to have more than two months of serious play time with it.
2nd update - handle bar broke AGAIN. Had to send it back to the company for their quality assurance unit to inspect. They sent a replacement scooter (free) that our son loved.
