A great item! I recieved one from my friend before she went off to college (leaving me in high school). The bobblehead says three Spock lines: "Live Long and Prosper," "Fascinating," and "Obviously, you are completely irrational." It's a great pieve of work with some fine detail. The arms move, but you won;t EVER care about this.
The only downside to this tow is that it's motion sensitive. The slightest movement will trigger the audio. I made the mistake of placing it on top of my DvD player. Just be aware that, like Spock, it talks and talks and talks.
Great item! Great gift for any Trekkie!Get more detail about Spock Talking Wacky Wobbler.

Discount Monsters vs Aliens - Gallaxhar's Space Attack UFO
Although I prefer the larger figures, the spacey look of this set is worth the trip. As a child's toy, it does have play value, and the mini figures are well made and fairly durable. I do think that the clear bubble on the ship, however, would probably be the first piece to break. As a collector, it's one of the better playsets in the series, and although I like the large Gallaxhar action figure better, the ship in this set has cleaner lines and displays well. The set is about average price for it's size.Get more detail about Monsters vs Aliens - Gallaxhar's Space Attack UFO.

When we got the toy out of the package, Batman's head was not attached to its body.

Low Price Nite Coaster - Motion Sensor Glass Illuminator
A great functional device for us old timers. Not sure why the review rating is calling it a "toy" but maybe it is for some. Since I purchased and set it up I have yet to change the batteries. It has worked every time and has been great for me at night. I use it for my water glass and so far spilling a little water on it hasn't hurt. Great product.

Transformers Movie 2 Fast Action Battlers - Photon Missile Jetfire Review
I originally got this version because I could not find the leader class version and did not know if I wanted to pay the much higher price (I eventually did both find and buy it), but this Jetfire had become my favorite figure out of the Fast Action Battler line. He has good looking modes in both, despite the kibble in jet mode. The bow legged aspect was a huge disappointment initially, but I used a knife to make adjustments that put his legs directly below after transformation. He tends to look much more dignified that way.
He is durable too. When my kids want to play Transformers with me, this one I can bring out. Most of the rest of mine are strictly display only.Get more detail about Transformers Movie 2 Fast Action Battlers - Photon Missile Jetfire.
Transformers Movie 2 Human Alliance - Sideswipe w/ Sergeant Epps Top Quality
I bought this toy at a local target. It seemed super cool as a car, but when I transformed it, IT was a little dissapointing. the Whole corvette part clunks up in the back, but it doesnt bother me since im more of a stop motion creator, and use things to hide it. after i transformed it back into a car, its leg thigh hits the ground, not letting any wheel touch the ground. its still really annoying, but thats what i get fo not looking at the instructions( or maybe not) hope this review helped!Get more detail about Transformers Movie 2 Human Alliance - Sideswipe w/ Sergeant Epps.
Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Bumblebee 2008 Camaro This instant
I've collected pretty much the entire catalogue of Transformers from the 2007 hit movie, and there are some out there that are better. However, what I like about this incarnation of Bumblebee is that it is relatively easy to transform into robot form. Plus, the robot form looks very cool. Going back into automobile form can prove to be challenging, though after a few tries it should become second nature. The biggest drawback are the arm insignias that fall off way too easily. Most smaller children will lose these quite easily. I'm not really quite sure what Bumblebee's weapon is supposed to be, either. Finally, beware price gouging. I believe this item can still be found on the Hasbro website for around $10 plus shipping. Get more detail about Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Bumblebee 2008 Camaro.

Where To Buy Fisher-Price Jupiter “Gustus”™
We looked all over for this Planet Heroes figure and could not find it at any store near us. I was so happy to find it on Amazon because I bought it for my son's 4th birthday. He eagerly anticipated its arrival and was very pleased when it arrived. It was a bit hard at first for my son to make the figure spin around, as his hands are small, but after some practice he was able to manipulate it himself. Overall he loves it!Get more detail about Fisher-Price Jupiter “Gustus”™.

What a fragile POS
The first time I tried (carefully) putting the SMG in the figure's right hand, the pistol grip broke off.
I also found that the left elbow doesn't bend too well.
Since I can't display it to my liking anymore...I might as well let the four year old finish it off.Get more detail about Halo 2009 Wave 1 Spartan Soldier EOD.

Pretty good.
For my boy, he liked it, but not his favourite.

Good starting point for transformation learning, but not as cool as others.

Low Price Halo 3 Legendary Collection - Brute Chieftain
I bought this figure about 2 months ago. When I came home last week the hammer broke in the stem. now I have a brute who holds a stick and a grav hammer head with no shaft. It's a very well detailed piece, but when it breaks without anyone touching it that is a problem. The worst part is that when I called the manufacturing company to buy a new hammer they said they only ship it as a set and would not send me a new hammer even though I said I would pay for it. I am very disappointed by the manufacturing company and if I was Microsoft I would not affiliate myself with a company that uses shoddy materials.Get more detail about Halo 3 Legendary Collection - Brute Chieftain.

Indiana Jones Action Figure: Raiders of the Lost Ark Order Now
Okay, so for starters, I'm a huge Indy fan. I have waited a long time for an Indiana Jones action figure line with decent quality and many characters, and since I've collected Star Wars figures forever, I actually wanted them to be this 3 3/4 size too (granted, I prefer my other collectible figures to be 6 inches or so, but I don't usually get accessories or playsets for those). Well, with the 4th Indy film, which is way underrated in my opinion (fellow longtime fans should give it a second viewing before deciding yea or nay; I had to warm up to it myself but love it now), that long dreamed of action figure line finally arrived from Hasbro... to mixed reactions. I'm sure many complaints were about the small size of the figures compared to the now more popular 6 inch or larger action figures out there for adult collectors these days. And, let's face it, most Indy fans are adults who grew up with the original films. However, I think what put most people off of this new line is that many, MANY figures were released to stores with awful paint jobs. I mean TERRIBLE paint jobs, specifically in terms of the eyes. This was most noticeable in the Raiders figures, and Indiana more than anyone.
Now, in my case, I wanted to wait and make sure they made more figures, and I wanted to see if the price wouldn't go down a bit too. Figures are way overpriced these days. But, once I saw Last Crusade figures on the shelves (along with a price drop of a couple of bucks), I dived in. A few of those first figures I bought I have previously reviewed, and let me tell ya, those ones I selected had excellent face sculpts! Of course, with huge, cartoony eyes painted on some of the figures, it would sure be difficult to notice the sculpting underneath. So, combine those first bad impressions with the fact that young kids just don't seem to "get" Indy (yeah, it was the second biggest film this past year, but the toys sat on shelves till the figures hit 3 bucks recently, and they're still moving slowly with a few character exceptions), and you end up with the problem I'm having now. I have wanted a Short Round figure to stand next to my Indy figure forever (a desire carried over from my original Kenner Indy figure), and it seems those Temple figures are only going to be available online now, for those of us in the states, at outrageous scalper prices since the first couple of rounds of figures sold so poorly. And to add insult to injury, the Elsa and Colonel Vogel figures have been in extremely short supply since day one. Man, I want an Elsa!
Anyways, as I searched fruitlessly for Elsa and the Temple figures this weekend at the big U.S. retailer who recently cut the price on these figures down to clearance levels, I did increase my total collection count to 14 (hope to add more before they're gone, too), and one of the main priority figures I did manage to find (though with a wee bit of difficulty) was the basic Raiders Indy figure. These were not hard to find at all before the figures went on clearance, and they even had playsets with very basic looking Indys out there. However, it was the holidays and money was tight. The other issue with this one is that big paint job issue. As I said, this is the one I saw most often with big ol' cartoon eyes, and poorly painted ones at that. However, if you check out enough of these figures, you're sure to find some that are actually painted correctly, and while the sculpt is nowhere near as good as the one for the Last Crusade and Crystal Skull Indy figures, it's more than passable considering all the detail that has gone into these figures. Seriously, these things are tight! From Indy's weathered leather jacket to his weapons and accessories, if you get one of these figures with a great paint job, you should be very pleased.
They're well articulated too! I count approximately 18 points of articulation on this particular figure, and he comes with 5 accessories and a special mysterious artifact surprise (at this point, I forget which figures came with which "mystery item", but suffice to say that each character comes with something different, and they're pretty cool relics but are sized for something larger, like maybe that new 6 inch or so Indy figure at Disney World). The accessories are Indy's trusty gun and whip, his MKVII gas mask bag, an action-posed alternate whip, and the golden idol he quested after in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Notable features with this Indy figure are a working gun holster and the fact that his hat is not removable. Most of them don't have removable hats, but I point it out here because some do. Frankly, these are better. The ones with removable hats look silly if you put the hat on, because their hats look too big on them. They look cool holding their hats though.
To sum up, this figure is really pretty sweet with lots of cool attributes, IF you make sure to check out the paint jobs and pick one that you like. I've seen the big eyes problem with the Marion figure too, and probably others. A few figures, like Marion, don't really capture good likenesses, but even those are nice figures if you get ones with decent paint jobs, and some figures just look amazing (like the Grail Knight, Indy's dad, Young Indy, and the Crystal Skull and Last Crusade Indys). But, of course, this classic Raiders Indy figure is a MUST for your collection.

Star Wars Evolutions 3 Pack: The Fett Legacy Immediately
As someone who loves Star Wars, the Fett family (and Mandalorians in general) I must say I love this set! I'm a collector and my action figures will remain in the box, but I have seen some other reviews of this exact toy on YouTube so you may want to check that out.
For those of you who don't know Star Wars that well and need some information of the history of these characters read on; if you do know all about them skip this paragraph and go to the one with 3 stars. All 3 of these characters, Mandalore, Jango Fett, and Boba Fett, belong to a group of people called Mandalorians, a war mongering people who love battle. The leader of the Mandalorians is given the title of Mandalore. "Mandalore" is the guy in the brown armor with the battle ax. He was leader of the Mandalorians 4000 years before the time of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Han Solo. He doesn't have a given name and is simply know as "Mandalore." The guy in the silver armor is Jango Fett, and was at one time the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy, and was also Mandalore for a time. Because he was "the best", a clone army, the Republic's Clone Troopers, were created in his image and those clones were trained to be the best fighting force the galaxy had ever seen. Jango had one request, besides loads of cash, for being the "father" of the grand army. Jango wanted an unaltered clone that he named Boba Fett. Jango's "son", Boba, would witness his "father's" death and go on to be even better than Jango. All 3 of them are/were Mandalore.
***As for the figures, Mandalore is a well crafted figure and was sculpted well, and he has good articulation. Mandalore's shield is removable, but his helmet is not. Jango Fett is well detailed. He sports a removable helmet and removable jetpack. Jango's face looks much like Temuera Morrison (the actor who played him in the film). Jango also has fantastic articulation. Now for my favorite figure; I have a few Boba Fett action figures and I must say this is my favorite. The details and coloration of this figure are superb! The jetpack and helmet are removable and Boba's head differs from Jango's head (most of the clone trooper heads are the same as Jango's). This Boba Fett's face is slightly scarred and his flight suit goes over most of his head, except for his face. The one problem with this Boba is his arm. His right elbow has a cord or wire going from his triceps to his forearm, which hinders the movement of the right arm (I'm guessing they did this to make him look movie-accurate).
All in all I give this set 5 out of 5! I did dock 1 star from education because the box gives little info on the characters' history.
