This isn't your average Zoid here. It's a Blox Zoid, meaning that it isn't motorized (pity). It's actually kinda cute once it's fully assembled. This Zoid isn't very hard; he took me about 10-15 minutes to build (yes, I time myself). I already have a Nightwise, too, but I can't find it on the site anymore. This Zoid could take some abuse from younger kids, so it's quite durable. I'd recommend this Zoid to the younger builders, but I still enjoyed it, too.

At first I wasn't so sure about the BLOX Zoids but I gave it a try with the Fire Pheonix sure enough two weeks later I wented out and bought the little Leoblaze. The colours are really nice and its just so cute XD . Its like a mini Blade Liger but without the two blades on its back but it does have a blade for its tail. It doesn't have much weapons like most Zoids **coughLigerZerocough** One blade as its tail and a two barriel cannon on its chest. He now sits guarding my alarm clock on my bed side table XD . Its highly poseable too and can probbly take a lot of abuse from younger builders so its a must have for any Zoid collector. Happy shopping

good zoid kind of strong,little parts,way easy to build.kind of flexible but is a great zoid

This is a beautiful doll. I am Cambodian, and I am so glad that there is a doll out there representing our ethnicity (I do agree with other reviewers she could look a little more Asian). I just gave this doll to my grandmother as a birthday gift and she absolutely loved it. I am planning to buy a few more for my nieces, I want them to know that Barbie is more than just blonde hair and blue eyed. I am happy that there is the dolls of the world collection.

This doll caught my eyes the moment I saw her I was browsing through books here at amazon.com. The Cambodian Apsara dancers with their divine beauty came to life with the real Cambodian Princess Bopha Devi. Of course, the doll's face isn't exactly that of Princess Bopha Devi. But the doll's eyes are distinctively Khmer. The overall shape of her face is present in Khmer and other Asians. Her overall figure is very charming. The doll isn't a glamorous depiction of Cambodian beauty; there are abundance of Khmer women (and men) who are at least this beautiful, in appearance, in the heart, and in the soul.

Note on the word Cambodian and Khmer: Cambodian refers to the people of Cambodia. Khmer refers to the ethnic majority in Cambodia. The Khmers are the progeny of the once-great Angkorean era.

Note on rating: Fun: For me, I enjoy having it so that I can show to relative and friends. Durable: I'm not sure how durable it is. Since it's supposed to be a collector's item, one should handle it with care.

This is a fun toy but you can lose her little shoes alot. Her earings are very dangley

This Gollum is very bendy and his rock's precious phrase is like the sound in the movie. His head is screwed very grumpy. Now the durability is 4 stars, his shorts are already torn up so that is why I gave the durability 4 stars.

all together i like it its a great display peice, i have it sitting on my desk right here next to my screen. it has very good detail, such as the lash marks on his back and the veins popping out of his forehead. the base beautifuly replicates the scenes in mordor and it has great sound. the only critisism i could give is that the color of his eyes are a little off and the legs are a little difficult to pose like he did in the movie (a crouching position fo erxample). I'd say it captures that "so ugly it a little cute" look form the movie. overall, it's well worth the price in my opinion if your a fan of gollum.

This Gollum looks really good. His eyes are glossed and look really real. His likeness is perfect. He is a bit like Gumpy
(or is it Gumby?),(remember him?) with his articulation. The sound base is a waste of plastic and it only says two words, "MY PRECIOUS", and the reproduction isn't very good. Now I've said enough. Bye!

If you are looking for something for your kids (electronic, not to expensive:) parents will like this...), this is definitly a buyer. Kacheek will sing, and react and might just keep your kids occupied I'm a preteen when I got this (because I love neopets!), so I didn't play with it much, but I love looking at him, kacheek is SO cute. A definite buy.

I had just got a deluxe world merridell.Then i got this he was waaaay better.he is also vvvvvvvvvvvery cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by jade davis

I love this toy she responds to me and I love talking to her and hearing all her differents sounds. I have a blue Kacheek on Neopets so it's great to have a Nisean everywhere.

This TMNT toy of Leo is awesome! It looks as good in person as it does on the website.

-I gave it only 2 stars for education because the turtles, or atleast the action figures themselves don't really teach alot. They do leave a lot to the imagination though so I gave it 2 stars for that.
-I gave it 5 stars for durability because the plastic its made of is pretty durable. You'd pretty much have to intentionally try to break it to do any serious damage to it!
-4 stars for fun is because, while they could be quite fun to play with, its not quite as fun as riding a jet ski or sky diving!
-But if they had a cool rating I would also give this 5 stars once again because this toy could just be left in the package and hung on the wall. It can be taken out and played with, or posed on a shelf in a room. This is a really great toy and Playmate's has done a good job with the re-release of this toy line. They were the ones who originally released the toys back in the late 80's, and they've done an even better job this time.

Overall, a 4.5 out of a 1-5 rating!

Leo is what you could call a take-charge turtle who leads by example. He's dedicated to his brothers, disciplined in the secret arts of ninjitsu and selfless to the cause of justice. This really cool action figure, if i can say so, is the greatest proof that TMNT are still awesome. So, if you like TMNT you really should buy it. ^_^

I've always liked Ninja Turtles, but now that the action figures are back on the market I couldn't resist buying my favorite one! This is an entertaining toy, but one of the best things about it is that it comes with suction cups that Leonardo holds, and he can stick to Bedroom walls, Refridgerators, Windows, anything with a flat surface!
I really enjoy this toy, and I'm glad that I purchased it.

This is my by far favorite zoid i own and i own many other guys to such as liger zero, Sheild liger, Liger X, Iron Kong, Kong Wolf, Elephander, Dibison, Gun Sniper, WarShark, Cannon Tortoise, And Saber Fang. Out of all of these zoids This new Lightning Siax is by far the best it has the options to go normal speed or Wicked fast, it can be remote controlled, if not remote controlled the weapon on its back will give it power to move, it doesnt jam easy unless you broke something inside the leg it shouldnt jam also it comes at a very low price and is my fav so if your looking for a sweet zoid to get get the New Remote Controlled Yellow/Black Lightning Siax for the price of [$$$]

This Zoid's quite easy to assemble. Pretty much all of it's the body/motor, so if you're looking for a challenge, try the Geno Breaker or something else. The only really hard part is the tail; it took me a full five minutes to get it to stick properly, and on the front leg armor, the middle parts on mine don't want to stay on, but it might just be mine.
This Zoid has been nicely redone in sort of a metal black, yellow (not blinding yellow), and with the few gray/silver parts, too. It also comes with CP-16 (the controller), which is (kinda) an added bonus.
The Saix is, as I said in the title, REALLY FAST. It has two speed modes: slow and fast. The tail controls the speed; that's why it's hard to get the tail on past the control thingy. Anyhow, with the tail down, the Saix goes its "normal" speed, which is still fast enough to outrun my Liger Zero Schneider and red Blade Liger by a few seconds. When the tail is up...look out! It goes at kinda a crazy skitter if it can't get a grip, and my front right foot keeps on sticking up and staying there. Kinda annoying, but oh well.
Also, a warning. The "blade" pieces on the guns as well as behind the back legs are more breakable than the other pieces, so use caution when handling. And on the claws, do NOT trim off all of the plastic at the back of the feet. You can flip the LS's feet under, and you're gonna need that plastic to flip the feet back out easily. HINT: when racing, if you're gonna use the fast mode, tuck the LS's claws under. It gets a better grip.
Now for the controller: Toys'R'us didn't quite get the picture right. It should have blue and red caps on it. On the LS, the controller doesn't do much: with the tail down, you use the left side to control its speed; push up on the knob, it goes fast. Down, it goes slow. Reverse for tail up.
Berserk Fury: Better. Push up on the left, it walks. Push down on the left, it deploys the Charged Particle Gun. Nice. PS: on both LS and BF, use Connector B.
Death Stinger: I can't say what this does yet. I can't figure out how to get the controller on it!! ... From what I saw, the left side controls the left set of legs, and the right side controls the right set of legs, but I haven't tested it yet.
Overall, I like the Saix. I'd get it here for a cheap price while it lasts.

Like Zaber Fang and Fire Phoenix, this version of Lightning Saix sports different colors than its Japanese counterpart. While Hasbro already released the regular Saix, this one comes in a very good-looking combination of grey, (dark) gunmetal, and dandelion yellow. I'm not sure if I like the original more, or this one-and even if you already have the original, it's worth getting if you like Lightning Saix.

It also includes CP-16, the Zoids Controller. It doesn't do much with Lightning Saix. Despite the package's claims, it can NOT make the Saix go in reverse-just forwards at your choice of speeds. You also have to remove its cool back guns/boosters to use it. The controller is far better suited to Death Stinger, which you can then actually steer. It also can be used with Berserk...er...Fury, and thus the similar-in-frame Gairyuuki, a recent Japanese release. But again, it doesn't do that much, just select modes.

If you haven't built a Lightning Saix before, it's not horribly difficult as far as cat Zoids go. The body comes partially pre-built, as it's got the motor in it, but it's still a typical Zoid-y assembly. Some of the leg armor is a bit thinner, so be careful with it-it's not inherently breakable once in place, though.

The only two tricky bits are attaching the legs and tail. With the legs, you have to line up the square bits with the pegs on the motor just right. I found it helpful to move the leg as if it were walking until it clicked on. The tail is a bit annoying to get around the thing that lets you use it to change speeds-I had to press pretty hard.

Once built, Lightning Saix has two speeds. With the tail down, it goes at a decent clip, and with it up...a crazed skitter. *If* it can get a grip, it's really fast...if not, it skids in place a lot. Even skidding, mine both outrun things like Liger Zero easily.

A couple things to note about the claws-for one, don't trim off all of that little piece on their backs. It's there so you can flip them back out if you've tucked them under the Saix's foot. Second, there appears to have been a mold change-the very tips of the claws are no longer pointy and separate, they have a line of plastic between them. I have to wonder if it's a safety issue-I've heard that the Tomy UK Saixes have the same claws. I trimmed it away with an xacto knife, but they look fine otherwise.

If you have a choice between this and the regular Saix, I'd get this one if you have a Death Stinger and can't get the controller elsewhere (most places carrying Japanese Zoids should have them), but otherwise, go with the one with the colors you like best.

The head sculpt/scan is great and the articulation is ok [a bit better than the earlier Enterprise figures and that horrible rubber on the bodies]. It was hard to put the power pack and tubes in place on the figure.

My son got this toy yesterday and the head has already started to pop off. This is just from normal play not typical rough 7 yr old play either!
Also the tubes that connect from the helmet to the backpack do not connect well.
He likes playing with it but he's very disappointed that it keeps breaking.

As much as I love Star Trek, I have to say that I didn't care for the Playmates action figures. Actually, I really didn't like them. The new figures from Art Asylum, however, are freakin' brilliant! The figure is superbly sculpted. I'm in awe at the care given to accurately represent this character in plastic. I am also impressed with their combined use of soft rubber and rigid plastic to provide a durable yet flexible toy. The paint job is amazing as well. I've got him standing by my monitor as I write this, and I'm so impressed with how good he looks. One other thing I like about this figure is that he is very posable, yet isn't sculpted into some permanent "action" pose that makes him difficult to play with and prevents him from standing on his own. The current line of Star Wars toys suffer from that fatal flaw and I have quit purchasing them because of that flaw. I would have liked Hasbro to have done with the Star Wars line, what Art Asylum has done with these Enterprise toys. Phlox is highly detailed, very posable, stands on his own, has great play value, and even comes with another head and set of hands for various situations. Sure, he's not that educational, but he's an action figure. This is an excellent design and an excellent execution of a concept.

I'm glasd the turtles are back. These figures look great. Could do with more articulation though, hence the 4 stars.

Ok. Let's put this in a simple way: Don is by far the smartest turtle you will ever find, I mean, he's the one who created such cool devices that saved his and his brother's shells lots of times, so he deserve some credit. Anyway, this action figure truly shows how Don can be a genius and a pretty good fighter at the very same time! So, if you truly love TMNT I guess you should buy it!

DONNY IS THE SMARTEST OF THEM AND I JUST LOVE THAT

Okay, this Zoid is da bomb! First, the zoid is kinda complicated when it comes down to when you have to assemble it's armor. But, that is the only difficult part on building it. I gave it 5 stars on eductional value because ALL zoids teaches contructional skills, and you learn how to put models together! I gave it 5 stars on fun because it comes with two transport platforms that comes with items to put on them. The platforms are not really the large size in the animie but you can put a large zoid on them or two small zoids on them;). I gave 5 stars on duralbility because it really dosent have anything to fall of it. And so far, no breakage!. Oh yeah, it comes with a Van pilot standing , a Moonbay pilot standing and sitting, Fiona standing, and a Zeke figure standing;) Note that they all are unpainted tho:( Oh yeah, when turned on, the Zoid rolls across the floor at a medium speed. Even with a large Zoid on the platforms it tows, it still seems to move at the same constant speed. Once I stacked up two of my other Zoids and it still kept moving well. and, as a bonus, if you turn the platforms right and the Gustav right, it will even turn with the Zoid still on the platform! Oh yeah, all the stuff before this sentence explains why I gave it a 5 on fun! I hope you found this helpful ^_^

This is a very nice zoid it surprised me alot it is one of the very very very few zoids that can walk on carpet. It was able to pull my ultrasaurus over medium thickness carpet. To put the Ultrasaurus on the Gustav's trailers you need to turn the Ultrasaurus sideways. SEE YA!

this gustav is awsome it has FIGURES!!! they include zeek(organoid), Fiona(zoidian), Ban, and Moonbay(driver) in two modes. of course i bet half of you don't know what i'm talking about. so heres a summery Ban found Fiona and zeek in a ruine.then he met irvine and Moonbay. well the driving motion is awsome. so is the bed for carring zoids it has a welder painter and a wrench. but if your looking for a kick butt amont of weapons this is the wrong zoid. it has armor and radar block.PAINT THE FIGURES!!!

this zoid is awesome!!! he has two different speeds, fast and slow.its slow is more of a normal speed. it can go faster than my sheild liger when he is in slow mode. in fast mode he can go almost as fast as my liger zero. Another cool feature is that he has a peice in the cockpit that is supposed to be the controls. whenever i use him(or my shadow fox, who is based on the command wolf) he never falls out of the cockpit(on my raynos he is constently falling out wich i hate).the reason i gave him a 4 in education was because you need to read the instructions to put him together but he is fairly easy. it didn't even take me a half hour to put together. i put a 4 for durability because the peg needed to keep the head up (so you could change speeds) broke off. i am holding it together with tape now but i hope to fix it. like i said before he is fairly easy to build. i would recommend him for anyone, even younger builders, although they may need some help with the head (not much. all-in-all this zoid is a great addition to any team. i would recommend buying it, since it is cheap. i would also recommend buying the shadow fox. unfortunitly the shadow fox only comes with one speed. well i hope this helps. Happy Shopping!!!!

Another must have! It is a wind-up, and has two speeds. You can switch the head up or down to go from slow to fast. It has one pilot, and if you like the Liger or Shadow fox, or even the Lightning Saix, this is one you should get. Even if you don't like the four-legged Zoids, this is one you should get!

This is one of the coolest zoids I'd ever put together, the Long Range Cannon on it's back makes it look even tougher!

Every zoid has a hard part sooner or later. & with the Command Wolf I'd say the hardest part to put together is the back legs, yet as difficult as it may be it will walk smoothly in the end if done correctly. So don't give up!

His jaw can be either open or shut for a kind of jaw chomping action! The Command Wolf's head can hang low or be up- which has an effect on how it walks. If the head is low, he will be kind of slow, if it's high he'll walk a little faster. Either way it walks easily, most other zoids kind of wobble...

If you put him together good enough, he should stay together even if he should fall (opposed to another review who'd said it'd broke easily).
