Collectible Reviews

I've collected a number of McFarlane figures, and this Owen Nolan figure has got to be one of the best I've seen so far. He's captured coming over the boards, most likely during a shift change(unless he was knocked over the boards). The attention paid to the detail of this figure is outstanding. This is the first McFarlane figure that you can look at and, without reading the back of the jersey, actually tell that it is Owen Nolan. Most of the figures come close to an actual likeness, but this one is almost dead on.

I highly recommend this figure to anyone who loves collecting McFarlane figures. It is one of the best so far. If you love the Maple Leafs, or hockey in general, I recommend this figure.

I love this figure...the beauty of the McFarlanes is the careful attention to details, and unique sculpture of each player. This particular player, Owen Nolan, is sculpted coming off the bench, no doubt to score another goal for my favorite NHL team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The McFarlanes are sturdy, lifelike, and great display pieces!

This is one great set in the World of Springfield line! It comes with three great figures that include Future Burns, Future Smithers, and Bobo Smithers. Future Burns is setup like a robot, with his head preserved in a glass container, and the rest of his figure a machine. Future Smithers is the head of Smithers on the body of a robot dog, complete with movable head and four legs. Bobo Smithers comes dressed as Bobo, Mr Burns beloved teddy bear, in a playful stance that actually allows the figure to keep from tipping over, despite being balanced on one leg. Something different about this set, is that the Smithers figures have the glasses glued into their heads, to prevent the tiny accessories from getting lost or damaged. The only real accesory that comes with this set is a beaten up little Bobo figure, somewhat larger than the Bobo that came with Burns Manor. The environment that comes with the set is big enough to hold the two larger figures, while Future Smither prances about. The actual set itself is purple with a yellow background of Homer being used as a slave to lead a cart of rocks. If you love the show or the toy line, this is a must have set!

GREAT SET!! Super detail and cool to look at. Displays great. Nice price point of $24.99. A collector must have.

Everyone who sees this cool little toy sitting on my shelf instantly says 'Hey, it's Homer...with hair.' And I'm like 'No, don't you know Homer has a brother called Herbert'.

When placed into a specific playset this toy will say 'Homer, you're my brother and I love you, but I'm still mad at you', in Danny DeVito's voice. I'd like to see Herbert come back for a few episodes but this toy will have to make do in the meantime. He comes with his own briefcase, a cell phone, a productivity chart and a blueprint for an invention.

Hey people. I have been collecting these Simpson figures for quite some time now and let me tell you, this is a GREAT addition to anyones collection. Danny devito did a great job portraying Homer's succesful brother Herb on the show and this figure sums him all up. Successful business man! This needs to go in your cart...after I get one that is!

Once again, Playmates has demonstrated their faithful dedication to converting 2-dimensional cartoon characters into 3-D toys that look exactly like their celluloid counterparts.

Chalmers comes with a customized coffee mug, a telephone (which fits nicely in his hand) and a clipboard with a checklist on Principal Skinner's failings. About the only thing in the "yes" column is the "US Flag in order," but poor Skinner gets checks in the "no" column, including in the row "riot quelled?"

Original voice for Chalmers is activated by putting him in the various Springfield environments.

"Skinner with his crazy explanations,
Superintendant's gonna need his medication,
be-lieving Skinners lame exaggerations,
there'll be trouble in town to-night"

Super-Nintendo Chalmers rocks. He always comes out with the best put-downs for Skinner and is the perfect foil for him. My fave scenes is when he going to give Springfield Elementary a full 10/10 for the first time.

"I'll just put the ZERO first." He says. "And now a vertical line to indicate the 1..."

Needless to say a riot tramples before he gets to.

The toy itself is quite fun. So far it is my first in the World of Springfield figures. Place him in certain playsets and he'll talk. The accessories that come with him are a clipboard (with a bad ratings checklist on it), a phone and a personalized mug. They all fit in his hands and he is pose-able. Not only this but he is quite sturdy. The Movie Maniac series of toys tend to break easily but there is not way this guy will.

Have fun, with Chalmers and the rest.

I have this particular figure in my collection. It is by far one of my favorites. Grandpa has wonderful detail and is just plain fun to look at. I have open mine and he has a proud place on the TV. I would recommend him to any true fan of the series.

The title of this action figure is a little misleading. In the few episodes of The Simpsons where Grandpa is attending church with the rest of the family, I've have never seen him wearing a fez.

This get-up is the type of thing he wears when going to award ceremonies, banquets, etc. , however, especially when he goes to hang out w/ his fellow veterans at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars hang-out.

His accessories include a removable fez, a Bible (labeled "Good Book"), a bottle of love tonic, a container of hair balm and a cigar. Great character, great action figure, great attention to detail.

I would say he is one of the better Star Wars dolls. His face sculpt is good, and his costum is pretty top-notch. His costum is thick to make him look like the fat, and the body that Hasbro used is the basic G.I. Joe body.

Dengar, best remembered for his stance with the other five members of the defunct bounty hunter's guild in The Empire Strikes Back, is back with a vengeance, looking his facially marred best when huddled together with members of his proud Han-hunting procession. The 12" figure isn't bad, either, with a few merits that are great and a couple of disappointing features to mingle in to the overall package.

First, I have to deal with the issue of packaging, one I'm not really happy with when I see any newly released "older" figures. Its not that I really worry about the boxes, per say, but I think that the setup does influences choices, and if I weren't a bounty hunter fan then I might have passed up this blandly boxed Empire recreation. Next, there's the issue of the head and the hands, both of which don't really seem go with the figure at first. In fact, when I glanced that plastic molded head staring out at me from an otherwise cloth-ridden body, I was saddened. I had wished for it to be wrapped and not simply fitted to a clothed body, but neither the hands or the head are like that. Still, I do have to say that the figure is really a nice addition to my collection, looking better out of the box than in it. Here you have nothing overly surprising, for he's your atypical new release 12' model; with snapped-on armor that you never want to attempt to liberate adjoined with white cloth underneath, plastic boots anchoring a body that sometimes likes to stand, a limited flexibility, and a nice replica weapon/backpack (a snap-on) thrown in for good measure. The coloration is done well, plus the costuming was more than I had hoped for.

Basically, I would say that this is a worthy buy because I'm a bounty hunter fan. Still, its something worth checking into even if you like simply like the movie, giving you something to fixate on freezing anyone you meet in carbonite with.

When I have it my hand I feel like I did as a kid .I have a 6 year old son and when we got home from our toys r us store, we played for hours! I shot at his rebel X-wing and it crashed all over the house. You can't bring me down ! I'm Darth Mickey !!!This time the sith will rule all . Even if we love the new movies,it's nice to go back and relive it with your kids like it was the first time . I just can't wait for tomarrrrrow!

Darth Vader's TIE fighter is back and better than ever with this brand new OTC version of the ship. It comes with some more detailed paint applications in addition to all of the other great old features.

The ship has firing missiles (lasers) and is very durable. I've seen this fall without getting much damage. The cockpit opens and a Vader figure (included with the set!) can sit inside comfortably.

I recommend this ship to anyone who like Star Wars and does not yet have this toy yet. I also recommend that if you purchase this, you should also consider purchasing Luke's X-Wing to go along with it.

hi,
this toy is pretty cool, an awesome thing is that it moves it's knees unlike the little action figures.he comes with 2 bo staffs. its hard to put them inside his hands though, same thing with the holes in his belt on the back.

YES YES THE TMNT ARE BACK!!!! The figurines are awesome!! Better than the old ones!! I highly recommend any of these

My 5 year old is wildly into TMNT, he received this as a birthday present. The set is really cool to play with ONCE we got it put together. As other readers stated the mountain doesn't stay put well. The truck is awesome and so cool how the lid lifts and the trunk opens. But...be ready to spend most of the afternoon on the floor putting together. Our set had pieces missing and then some odd ones left over. Luckily we had other block sets to gather pieces from, or we would have had a very disappointed 5 year old.

When I recieved this Mega Bloks set as a birthday present, I was excited because I LOVE the Ninja Turtles! This set takes a little while to build, but my only pet peeve is that the white section on the left is ONE PIECE. It is difficult to make the bulky piece stick to the main plate, because there aren't many places it can attatch. The Battle Shell van is amazing! You can put the Ninja turtles in the back or in the driver's seat. Or, you can set them on the top with a Foot Soldier or two and have a high speed battle seen on top of the van! It is a fun set, and the ooze is fun. A word of advice about the ooze: Don't break it up into pieces! I have another set with ooze, and I would always pinch it and pull it and break it up, and now it doesn't work very well, because instead of being one gelatinous mass, it's a bunch of smaller pieces that get stuck to your fingers, set, carpet, ANYTHING! So just be careful!

This toy is great! It comes with Casey Jones, Michaelangelo, and a Foot Soldier, unlike the picture that is shown. The box that you really get looks very different. Casey has blue pants, not black, and Mike is facing the other way, and there is only one turtle, not 4. It comes with a barrel of ooze, a Skateboard, Nunchakus, a clear Stunt Stick, a carrying case for Casey Jones' weapons which are a Baseball bat and a Hockey stick, and a sword for the Foot Soldier. I also recommend the Battle Shell Bridge. That's another fun one!

This toy is great. You get mike casey and a foot solider. It also comes with a cool skateboard. It is a great toy for the money.
