Collectible Reviews

I have ordered this online and when I received it,I thought it was excellent,it seems to stand up to a beating somewhat as I have accidently dropped it on the floor a few times and it stayed together,however the smack to the tail with the remote took the tail off. The detail on it is pretty good compared to some I have seen,its pretty cheap as well compared to what you can get these days,this and the franklin mint have the most detailed helicopters that I have seen but its a price difference from 200 to 32 all in all I think its great for AH-64 fans.

1) I do not know where the customer saw his real Apache at, but he seems to be incorrect on several points. I work on AH-64A and D models here at Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, GA.
A) The main rotor blades are in the correct location in the picture and also are the tail rotor blades. You have a set of inboard and a set of outboard tail blades.
B) The blades are a different color from the airframe,
they are black.
C) As for the Main Landing Gear, they appear to be in the correct scale and location.
D) As for the weathering effect, well he needs to see our birds that have just came back from the Desert. They look like the one in your picture.
E) The angle of the Gunners/Co-Pilot and Pilot's stations dose look correct.
Well this all that I have to say. We are looking at a toy not a true to scale model and it sure dose look real close to scale and worth the price. Thank you for your time.

Considering its price and the rarity of finding ANY 1:48 scale diecast military helicopter, this Apache is somewhat of a small miracle. However, it DOES have several flaws that no serious collector will be able to overlook: (1)COLOR-it's too light. It should be a dark olive or drab instead of the medium green that it currently is.The rotors on the bird should also be the same color as the fuselage. (2)WEATHERING/WASH-completely wrong. The color of an actual Apache is simply too dark for such an intense degree of weathering to show. (3) CHIN GUNMOUNT-incorrectly angled. It should angle back and close to the ships hull instead of projecting straight down from the its underside. (4) LANDING STRUTS- too thick as are the wheel mounts-they bring the wheels waaaay to close to the weapons pods on the winglets when you configure the ship with the missle racks on the inboard pylons. (5) FORWARD COCKPIT FRAME-incorrectly angled inferior leading edge. It should angle forward, not backward. In addition, the cockpit opens on the wrong side!! CRAZY.(6)MAIN ROTORS-ARE NOT ON THE SAME PLANE!!! Two above and two below the rotor hub!!! This is the worst of all its faux pas's and is not even seen in far more inferior Apache replicas. (7) FLIMSY MAIN ROTOR ASSEMBLY-ALSO A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I actually snapped the two small and wholly inadequate connecting rods when rotating the blades and had to slightly separate and epoxy them back together. (8)POORLY EXECUTED TAIL ROTOR-lacks detail and the one on my bird doesn't even freely rotate. One might think that I hate this copter-but here is the irony- I LIKE IT-inspite of its flaws and for the two reasons I mentioned in the opening of this review. Taken on its own, its good, but when comparing it against the MODEL POWER and FRANKLIN MINT offerings, it comes up short-unless you again consider price. In summary: great for the price, but a letdown for the detail concious collector. It's somewhere between a well done 'toy' and a so-so collectible.

I totally agree for you to buy this awesome deal, it includes poromon, hawkmon, halsemon, shurimon, snimon and patamon. I suggest this set to any buyer. I mean poromon can digivolve to hawkmon in then hawkmon can digivolve to halsemon with the love armor or she can digivolve to shurimon with the Sincerity armor. Who could resist this awesome set?
From, digital dog.

Digimon Set XII contains two Rookies (Patamon and Hawkmon), two Armors (Halsemon and Shurimon), one evil Champion (Snimon), and an (kawaii! (japanese for cute)) In Training Poromon. Overall, this is a Hawkmon themed collection. I like the fact that there was only one bad guy in this set, because I prefer collecting my favorite characters. Having only one villian, though, might bug others who are in it for the playing value.

I got this set for Christmas and I REALLY like it. They are each in a fighting position, and they don't break! You can position Digmon as if he's using his "Gold Rush". This set includes Biyomon, Drimogemon, Upamon, Armadillomon, Submarinemon and Digmon.

He's so cute! He has a big fluffy head and big ears! You've got to have him!

I bought this item for my daughter named Jade because it was named the same as her and because she loves dogs. She loves it and takes it with her everywhere. I am so glad you came up with such adorable plush dog toys like Snubbies!

I just bought this thing yesterday and i love it. Its definitly not your average stuffed animal its a unique looking animal espeacialy for a dog I take it every where with me i even took on a hike with me today at the beach, and i love how when you sqeeze the tummy the ears just fly right up, and it even comes with a little snubbie in its collar. I gave this toy four stars for durability because the hair comes out but everyone knows real dogs shed espeacially chows that just makes it even more realistic

My husband as a child collected heman figures, and now our son, 9, does as well. He loves them all, (...)

I'll be blunt. It's a repaint, but a cool repaint. Skeletor now dons a more evil black and copper color scheme. His Havoc staff is replaced with a rather lackluster spinning weapon. The blades have a bat wing design. A nice alternate color scheme, but what can I say...the original is best. Think long and hard before you buy this guy.

They finally listed Series 2, I like it a lot. This Skeletor is the same figure as the Skelelor in Series 1 except he is wearing black insted of purple and insted of the skull staff he has a spinning blade that hooks to his arm. I was sort of dissapointed when I saw it was the same figure, but it is pretty good. He is very hard to find so get it when you see it.

What a dynamic pose! This figure is bursting with energy and excitement. The long lightsaber trail comes in two pieces and once put together is very striking. The amount of deatail on Lukes hair and clothes is exceptional. The only drawback is that the figures face doesn't resemble Mark Hamil enough (check out the Han Solo figure for an incredible likeness). That said, the figure is so dramatic that is the first one everyone comments on when seeing my collection for the first time.

Highly recommended for all Star Wars fans.

I really like this "Unleashed" action figure of Luke Skywalker.
It depicts Luke in all of his Jedi Glory from the movie "Return Of The Jedi".
Luke's hair flies in the air as his body twists and his bright green lightsaber flashes, as it cracks and signifies the Return of the Jedi Knights to power and the Return of Luke's father, Anakin, from his long stint as the evil Darth Vader.
The determination in Luke's face is very apparent, and this action figure is SO DETAILED that it actually depicts the little growths that actor Mark Hamill had on his face, when he played Luke in "Return Of The Jedi"!
This is the best and the coolest Luke Skywalker action figure ever made!
It captures the moment when Luke transforms from the farm boy that dreamed of being a Jedi Knight, into his being a real Jedi Knight, who becomes a Jedi because he showed LOVE, towards his Father, not hate, like the evil Emperor wanted Luke to show.
With the bright green flash of Luke's Lightsaber, he defends the Universe against hate and oppression.
This action figure is BEAUTIFUL!

This is one of the four re-releases from the Unleashed line to show up this summer (Darth Sidious is the other at the moment, two more are to be released later). Depicting Luke during his final climactic battle with Darth Vader aboard the second Death Star, it captures all the conflict Luke feels. The sculpt of his face could have been better, and I'm not abig fan of the "Lightsaber trail," but definitely one worth picking up. I've got min sitting right next to the Unleashed Han Solo.

Only 2 words can describe him. The Cutest!

today, i bought the tiny snubbie dogs, with the five little dogs in each package. they are very cute! i got, benny, jackson, max, reese and misty. i got this package because i myself have two pugs and benny is adorable. i reccomend this product for kids 7 and over. very small pieces babies may choke on.

Reviewer: Julie Kile from Honolulu, HI United States
These little guys are quite cute! My daughters just had to have one each, and spent their allowances to order them from Amazon. They have a smallish body and oversized head, and when you give them a sqeeze or "hug", their ears snap to attention. Very funny, and giggle inducing for the little ones. It works with air, as the ears are otherwise quite floppy with a soft tube inside. They seem quite popular, judging by the reaction when they took them outside to greet the neighbor kids. Lots of squeals! They also have a bonus- in the little locket on their collars is a tiny Snubbie figurine, which seemed to be almost as thrilling for them as the plushie.

This LOTR AOME set is good but could be better. The detail on the horse and the 2 figures (removable from the horse) sport extreme detail but lack good poseability. Gimli can barely hold his axe. Other AOME sets have better poseability in their figures, so if you are looking for a good set to play with, pass on this one. If you are a completist, a displayer, or just a die-hard fan of Legolas and Gimli, I'd say, why not get it? It's okay but could be better.

This toy is great!Gimli is cool because he can actually stand.The so called hotty isn't that great because his sword broke when I tried to put it in his left hand don't try this it will break. Legolas doesn't stand but this toy works for me.

this toy is great if you want to keep it on a shelf. the weapons are a bit delicate i know that because i broke gimlis axe. gimli is a bit hard to get on the horse. but you know stuborn dwarfs. this is a great minirature toy.

If you are a true LOTR collector you know no collection is compplete without the bad guys. These guys are creepy in the book and in the movie so I really wanted to have them. You get three of these and they are all different and they look great up close. I recommend buying them!

These wringwraiths are awesome. They are about 8 inches tall and the pack includes three different ones. They have swords with them and they are really good looking with close attention to details. They are nice for display purposes for a true LOTR action figure collector.

This is a very good set especially if you're a ringwraith fan like me. It comes with Twilight Witchking, Witchking, and a Ringwraith with soft clothes.
The Twilight Witchking is cool but the only problem i had with it is the sword jabbing action. If you put the Dagger in his right hand and squeeze his legs together(there are no buttons sticking out from his back for once), he turns and gets caught on his long sword handle which can make it bend.
The Witchking is very cool. He comes with a Morgul sword and a dagger with a retractable blade. The only problem with me is that the dagger is very big and the retractabe part of the blade is silver while the rest of it is black. This just for me looks very really weird and different from the Dagger in the movie. But the cool thing is you can stab Frodo using the sword-lunging action.
What is there to say about the Ringwraith except for it has soft clothes intead of hard and has a very cool sword. The only Problem is that it is hard to get the sword in and out of his hand which can cause it to bend the handle. The other thing is that his legs are rubber (because he is meant to ride a horse) and this causes him to fall over a lot when you try to stand him up.

All I have to say is that these two toys look awesome. I have never seen better detail on any other action figures. If you're looking to play with these figures, then don't buy these. But then again, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH THESE? They look awesome! I have them next to my keyboard and they look slick.

Everyone should get these guys.

(...) It just shows he lacks any artistic understanding. These are fabulous toys/sculputers. Exellent interpretetion of the comics, gorgeous colors. When i first got my hands on it i couldn't put it down. Its a beatiful peace of art work, thats what it is. And no, it is not meant for overgrown man who need to manipulate their toys into one form or the other, it is meant to be as is, fabulous sculpture combination and pose and stunning, very correct color.
I hope the McFarlane people make some more, i am so looking forward to adding to my newly found collection.

Although they're the first set of Sam & Twitch action figures McFarlane Toys has put out in almost a decade, and their painstakingly crafted likeness are based on some surreally goofy artwork from the cover of one of their books (check it out at www.spawn.com/comics/cover.aspx?bookid=15-22-13-0), I found myself less than impressed by this plasticized incarnation of my fave four-color detectives. For starters, articulation (poseability) is very limited. Sam (the morbidly obese guy sittin' on the stool with three cigarettes in his mouth) can only rotate his right arm just above the elbow, and both feet above the ankles. Twitch can rotate his head, arms at the shoulders, wrists, and feet just above the ankles. Sam can't be put in any kind of meaningful pose, and all Twitch can do is raise an arm to point one of his ludicrously long-barreled revolvers at a perp, a la "Dirty Harry". 'Course, seein' as how these guys were sculpted and produced by McFarlane Toys, a company whose products are geared towards collectors who usually want something to display rather than play with, this lack of limberness is to be expected...

One other problem I have with this pair is the paint job, especially the details on Sam. While both figures were given a sorta sepia-toned paint job to reflect their 'pulp-crime-noir' roots, at least the flesh tones on Twitch's face and hands are somewhat normal. Sam on the other hand looks like he's just come off of his moonlighting job as a chimney sweep! I'm also not too cool with the work they did on Sam's face that was done to imitate the shading effects you see in the artwork. The big guy looks like he's got a huge shiner covering most of his right face around the eye, while the area around the left eye is a ghastly shade of stark white. Personally, I think they shoulda just left his face alone, made his flesh tones similar to that of his partner, and allowed me to provide my own shading & lighting effects (i.e. an incandescent lamp).

Final note: apparently the rumor that the hobby store version of this toy (Sam with three cigarettes hangin' from his mouth) would be slightly different than the one that was to hit the retail shelves (toothpicks substituted for the cigarettes) isn't true. The big guy definitely was puffin' on the coffin nails in the set I saw at a local Toys 'R' Us I visited the other day...

'Late

This is truly one of the best SpiderMan toys I have ever seen. I was very happy when I saw this at the Target store. I thought Whoa a Ben Riley toy.(the first I have ever seen, but what I understand the 2nd made) I just had to buy it.When I did I was happy about what I got. From all my SpiderMan toys this is one of my favorite ones. I think it is able to play with but not too flexable so it can go anyway that you want his body parts to go.So if you see this I think you should get it.

This figure is great and is a must for any Spiderman fan. Yeah, it isn't articulated that well (but, still very poseable). And, yeah, it's not a new sculpt--just another recycled Spiderman Classics figure with a different paint job. But, it is a figure of a character in the Spiderman world. This is Ben Riley. He is the clone of Peter Parker who takes over for the real Spiderman for a while. Ben convinced Peter that Peter was the clone from Professor Miles Warren's (a.k.a The Jackal) cloning experiments. Peter stepped down for a while to enjoy a quiet life with Mary Jane. Never thought we'd see that, huh? In any case, this is the costume Ben wore while taking over for Peter. ToyBiz should do this kind of thing more often. There are several different suits Spiderman has wore in the past. They could do them all under this series of figures. We need an updated version of the symbiote black costume, the Scarlet Spider costume, Spiderman Unlimited, and Spiderman 2099. They sell Batman figures in costumes he never wore in the comic books. Why not make Spiderman figures in costumes he has wore in the comic books over the years. This figure was a great idea. Recycling an old scuplt for a completely seperate character in the Spiderman world.

Well, Amazon calls this "Missile Launcher" Spider-Man, but for all of you Toyfare readers out there, it's really just Web-Attack Spider-Man.

I recently purchased this Spider-Man, because I thought it would be cool to have a Ben Riley spider-clone for my collection. Well, I must say that I was dissapointed with this action figure. For only being the seconde Ben Riley Spidey in exhistance, you think that Toy Biz would have put a little more effort into this toy. It's not even a new scuplt, he's all completely used parts from various Spider-Man classics action figure.

If you are a Spider-Man fan, I think you may like to purchase this toy, however the real prize of this wave is the Carnage action figure, I nabbed him before Amazon ran out! I like him a lot!

Maybe next time Toy Biz makes a Ben Riley, the will remember to at least sculpt the webbing on Spidey's body. Shame, Shame Toy Biz.
