Women of the DC Universe Power Girl Bust Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like the title says, my wife hates this sculpt of Powergirl but I guess that is about the best endorsment I can give! It is a fine sculpt in a dynamic pose of a less popular character...one of my favorite minibust from DC. Now if I could just get my wife to stop posing Wonder Woman like she's punching Power Girl in the stomach...

Shazam 13" Deluxe Collector Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you own other 13" DC Direct deluxe figures then you'll have some idea of what you're getting with Captain Marvel, however, I feel it is one of the best along with Aquaman. Unlike DCD's Aquaman, who is somewhat restricted in movement by his outfit, the Captain Marvel figure moves very smoothly and freely, creating the opportunity for great poses. All the joints are sturdy without being stiff and thankfully are not loose. The figure has cut joint hands to be used with the supplied swappable hands but I have decided not to use the extra "bendy" hands as I have read elsewhere people have experienced chipped paint just removing them from the packaging.
The initial head sculpt shown by DC Direct was scrapped after much fan protest, the new head walks the fine line between stoic and friendly, without being constipated and goofy. While the sculpt doesn't show a smile per say, it does look as though he's confidently smirking; the picture shown on this site is the scrapped head so don't let that dissuade you from buying. The neck joint allows for a wide range of movement including an upward, flying pose. The paint application is slight but well done with a clear distinction shown between the hair line and forehead. The fist hands also have some nice veins giving the appearance of strength and a tight grip.
The costume allows for great movement and includes the chest button flap from the original design of the character, a must for true Captain Marvel fans. And while I would have preferred the original sash over the belt DCD used, it's not a deal breaker. The cape looks fantastic and I think you'll like the material DCD used. It does, however, pull at the neck a bit and will appear as though it's strangling the good captain. A great touch is the knotted rope flourishes down the cape's left side. Fans of the SHAZAM! TV show from the 70's will recall those flourishes were interpreted as a kind of flower print, as the comics did as well; this original interpretation is far superior and appreciated.
Captain Marvel comes with the typical DCD display stand that isn't as good as Sideshow's, but it serves its purpose. The figure includes a character in lieu of an accessory but it's a great one; one of comics' most original villains, Mr. Mind. Fans of Captain Marvel will appreciate the attention to detail on getting the classic, golden age version exactly; right down to his radio voice box.
As a life long fan of Captain Marvel I highly recommend this figure as the only Cap figure to own. Compared to the various 6" figures of Captain Marvel, DC Direct's Deluxe 13" version is a stand out.

Hasbro Star Wars Vader Force Action Extending Lightsaber Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a nice replica toy for children. Good work with the full retractable blade, but not very shinny (the similar saber created before shines much more). a little big for kids, but fun to play with. my son loves it.

Take up your destiny and join the battle as an insidious Dark Lord of the Sith with Darth Vader's signature weapon. Just like in the Star Wars movies, this Force Action Lightsaber springs into action, lights up, and makes realistic lightsaber sounds.Recommended for children ages six and older, this toy makes playing the bad guy fun.Just Like the Movies In the hands of the evil Darth Vader, this lightsaber has sown sorrow from one end of the Empire to the other. Now, it is yours to use as you see fit.This weapon swiftly extends to more than three feet long with the sliding of a button. The spring-activated blade is made with translucent red plastic. Built-in segments fully retract into the handle, and the blade is illuminated with bands of light.While it's intended for use against another lightsaber--and not a person or animal--the blade is built from a safer, softer plastic than the durable, hard plastic handle, just in case. The silver and black handle features dynamic accents.Realistic Sounds For more than 30 years, Stars Wars fans the world over have been inspired to make their own lightsaber sound effects, but now, the Force Action Lightsaber does it for you. The toy creates the distinctive power-activated "humming" drone that creates anticipation in moments between swings.This lightsaber also replicates the burst of electricity as the saber turns on and the blade extends as well as the "wave" of the blade as it hovers through the air.Using the Force Unlike the lightsabers of the Star Wars movie, the toy doesn't retract with the push of a button. After turning the weapon off, the blade can be collapsed by hand--but be careful not to jam the blade too tightly into the handle.A couple of times while playing with the lightsaber, the blade did not extend when the power was activated; the sound effects started up, but the "on" button had to be pressed more than once to get the blade out.The on/off button looks as if it should also control the volume of the lightsaber--but it does not. Parents who get sick of the "humming" can remove the batteries, as the lightsaber requires three AA batteries (not included) for its lights and sounds.But Vader's Lightsaber wouldn't be half the fun without its glowing arc-wave energy blade, and the red light is especially mesmerizing in the dark.

HEROES SERIES 1 FIGURE SYLAR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To begin, this is a FANTASTIC likeness of Gabriel Gray, a.k.a. Sylar.
The face has a hint of his 5 o'clock shadow, along with a few battle scars. The cap that comes with the figurine fits perfectly, either in forward or backward style. There are points of movement on both elbows, shoulders and knees, and the head can be moved in virtually any direction. To my surprise, both hands can be removed and replaced with the shooting hand. The brain, well.....it's a brain.
The painting that comes with the figure is a 3x5 replica of the Isaac Mendez painting from season one of Heroes.
However - this is clearly a figure for collectors, and I'll tell you why:
(1) The paint chips easily. The hands, coat and brain are particularly susceptible to damage, even when removing them from the packaging.
(2) Since there are no articulation points at the upper legs, this figure doesn't have a lot of movement and isn't much fun for the younger crowd.
(3) With 4 small pieces for young children to choke on, this figure is definitely not meant for young children.
(4) If you're looking for a child's toy, I wouldn't recommend a replica of a super villian with a penchant for cutting open people's heads - but hey, that's just me....
All in all, though it may not be very educational or durable, it's a great little figurine, and other Heroes like Peter Petrelli, Claire Bennett, and Hiro Nakamura will definitely be added to my collection.
If you like collectible figurines like this, I would highly recommend anything from Todd McFarlane, since his figurines have the most minute details - some examples are Jack from LOST, or Elvis.

Marvel Legends Transformers Crossovers - Hulk Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been lusting over this toy for so long. I told my husband to buy it for me but he took too long. So I went and purchased it myself. I am generally disappointed when I have high hopes [See Terminator Salvation movie] but this Hulk Transformers satisfies all my wants and desires. So crazy how much I love playing with it and transforming it back and forth. It took three fun tries and now I have mastered it.
I actually took this toy with me to Hong Kong because I could not live without it. I played with it on the 13 hour flight and it sits proudly now in my hotel room. I guess being that I am in my early thirties- it brings back so many indexical memories that I had. I watched the Hulk and transformers shows everyday -- this toy brings it all back--- good times ... good times

This mech suit was built specifically to match the power and rage of the Hulk. Its armor is indestructible, like the shield of Captain AmericaTM. Its hydraulic joint flexors absorb the Hulk's energy, so that the battle suit becomes stronger as the Hulk gets angrier. In vehicle mode, a powerful sonic cannon knocks other mechs to the ground, and scrambles their audio sensors.Whether in hero or vehicle mode, this fierce-looking figure is all about going green! From tough tank mode, convert the cool vehicle with a twist here and a turn there to unleash the mighty Hulk figure in hero mode! Packing a spring-loaded punch and gritted-tooth grin, this super sidekick is ready to team up with you and take on whatever adventures your imagination can dream up!
