Harry Potter 9.75

I bought this as a birthday gift for my mother and we were delighted. While I had recently bought the trio plus Sirius action figures and sent them back due to poor quality, Hagrid is excellent!

He is a ton of fun and the extra's (lantern, Fang, Norbert, pink umbrella, etc.) are great! His hands do rotate so they can hold things better and Norbert will rest on his arm. The detail is amazing and of course, HE TALKS!

The talking is a little muffled or maybe its the accent. While I would have rather paid a little less for him, I was very pleased with this item.

While I have not been happy with other Harry Potter action figures, this one really hit the mark!

LEGO® Batman™ Batman's Buggy: Escape of Mr. Freeze

I seriously considered this purchase for my son, who loves Batman but has the patience of a 4-year old. The age range on it says 5+, so I worried that it was too advanced. I was pleasantly surpised to find that he was able to do the majority of the construction, simply by looking at the printed booklet and following step-by-step. Not sure how educational that is, but I enjoyed watching him confidently fit the pieces together. It was fun putting helping him put it together when he couldn't understand the pictures. He really likes the set and he hasn't let either Batman or Mr. Freeze out of sight for the past few days.
It's a fun set, Mr. Freeze's gun is really cool, he has two blue jewels, and the cars don't fall apart too easily. Of course, neither car can survive being chucked against the wall, and I have had to rebuild them a few times. I'd recommend this set-It's fun and the stories my son comes up with are hilarious!

Star Wars Rots Commander Gree Figure

This figure is one of my favorites. It is superposible and includes two guns and an intina. I watched the movie after I got it and noticed that the painting is wrong. This figure is green and black with darker green camo spots around it and a little bit of white on the helmet. But in the movie he has white armor (exept for his boots and his gloves which are black)and he has green camo spots on his armor.

Transformers Movie 2 Mega Power Bots - Jet Power Optimus Prime

I have been looking for an Optimus Prime that talks frequently - this Prime does that and more - he does transform in the fact that when you push his gold emblem down in the middle, his wings will flip out to the side (thanks Jetfire, awww ^_^), and light up, follwed by Jet sounds, and he'll talk as well. His eyes light up too, as well as his cannon. He also continues to talk as you fly him around - Kids will love this, for the fact that he makes air jet sounds, and talks - he even has a handle that you can hold him with while he flies around the room, and will continue to talk until you land him. And when he lands he also talks. When you want to 'deploy' or push in his wings, he also alerts you by making a transforming sound. Optimus is very alert. Love this figure. Peter does his voice for this figure too, it's super cute! Found it at Wally World for a Roll-back price ^_^. He fits in perfectly with my Autobot collection! I'm 28 years old, and find myself flying this toy around like I'm a little kid again.

Transformers Movie 2 Voyager Megatron

this is the second voyager toy I've bought besides Starscream, i love the detail on Megatron and the color is great, i love how it looks identical to his movie counterpart, and the tank mode is perfect, my only complaint is in robot mode, his tank-top (lol) becomes a backpack, and this takes away from the excitement, but he is a tank, which can fly, so nothing wrong with him being able to fly in robot mode, all in all i have a new favorite toy. his fusion gun/crab claw is neat and his other arm is just as sweet. some voyagers have limited pose ability but this guy exceeds all my other figures, and ps his head sculpt is amazing!

The Bride of Frankenstein Premium Format 18

Once you see her in person you will think Elsa posed for the artist herself. I have to admit I purchased her with a few doubts. I have to admit all the photos I saw during my search do not do this exquisite figure justice. At first glance I did not like the costume, and her face seemed less scary than I expected. For this reason I did not buy her from Sideshow. Unfortunately for me however, she sold out quickly.

What changed my mind: While shopping at a local comic book store I saw her on display. After kicking myself for not pre-ordering The Bride of Frankenstein from the manufacturer, I asked the owner how much she was. When I heard the price ($75.00 over the actual retail price) I decided to search the internet and luckily I found her in Illinois at a store called horrorbles.com. I was lucky enough to talk to the owner of the store who gave me a respectable price and did not try to gouge a customer just because the figure sold out at Sideshow Collectibles.

Neca Cult Classic Exorcist Regan 7

1. Packaging is expertly executed both from the figurine aspect and the shipping aspect.

2. The sculpture and painting of the figurine is par to none. It is extremely detailed which gives this figurine the "wow factor." I know we've all seen mock-up figurines that are painted very intricately and then order one only to receive a very low-grade job. This is not the case here ... I am more than pleased and you will be, too.

3. Cost is always a major factor in well-done figurines and this one is a shocker at only around $17.00 or less. More than well worth it's cost for a poly-resin figurine that depicts the scene with the greatest of accuracy.

If you're a real fan of The Exorcist, visit the official site at www.captainhowdy.com (The Exorcist Fansite). That's where I found and ordered this one from on Amazon.com.

PLANET OF THE APES - DR. ZAIUS 12 INCH FIGURE [Toy] [Toy] [Toy] [Toy]

I have seen this movie so many times I'd know the differnce between Boothe Coleman's Dr. Z and Maurice Even's version. Of course, I'd like to have the series array as well, especially Mark Lenard's Urko "I've read something about that, you take the brain and wash it in cool water then place it back in the skull!" Priceless comedy about "washing brains". Mauice E was the tops for the movie and all Ape ology as far as his performance but Mister C. is also comemorable! As is James Gregory's belicose yet simpathetic to his cause type General Urko and Mark Lenard's more flamboyant version. Boothe Coleman and Maurice Evens were so much alike it was often mistaken for being the same actor under that guise. Evans downplays it more Coleman is like the uptighter version like not wanting one to 'go through his stuff"(like me!).
