Collectible Reviews

This Gollum figurine has an incredible likeness you wouldn't believe! He doesn't come with any accesories, though, so that kinda makes him a little less fun. Oh, well. He's great anyways.

I'm not really pleased with any of the Gollums/Smeagols, but here we go anyway. He's noy very poseable, but he looks pretty good. It's kinda freaky the way he's made, all bendy and rubbery. His facial expression is... happily evil? Maybe not. I don't really know how to describe it.

This figure is the most detailed, well sculpted, and well clothed of the 12" Lord of the Rings action figures.
He comes with extremely detailed Dwarf axe and Helmet, which fits perfectly onto his head, unlike Gandalf's hat.
The quality of his clothing is superb, with a reddish tunic on the outside, and a coat of chain mail inside.
He has molded on boots and gloves, covered in Dwarf runes, like his axe and helmet.
I love this figure. It has a perfect likeness to Gimli, and although described as 12" it is about 7" tall, in scale with his taller companions.
This figureis genuinely brilliant, and is worth more than the money it's being sold for.

This is a very cute and well made set. It makes a nice addition if your child already has one or several of the other snubbies playsets. If buying a starter set, however, I would recommend one of the snubbie houses. With this set children are limited to the birthday party theme and I've noticed this set gets played with less than the others we have. Overall, a good product.

Very detailed for such a small figure, I bought this in a clearance bin where it had been thrown around and actually dropped. No part of the toy broke or was even scratched. While not as cool as Nightmare, consider Necrid the next step in what Nightmare could look like. Lack of weapon is kind of annoying though, but still, its cool.

I am sure that I am not alone in going back and comparing the various figures in the Spawn 24 series from McFarlane Toys. The obvious general comment is that in most of these cases the toy goes into considerably more detail than what was drawn on the original cover. For example, the Swat Spawn from issue #64 has most of his body in shadows or extending beyond the frame of the cover. The original cover art was penciled Greg Capullo, with Chance Wolf and Todd McFarlane providing the inks. For example, there is no clue what Spawn's right arm was doing, which makes this pose an interesting choice.

But there are also a couple of interesting omissions. The first, of which nothing can be done, is that you do not have the whisp of smoke coming out of the barrel of the large handgun (or the burning "bullet" holes in the wall behind him, for that matter). However, the second is the more interesting one, because on the cover of "Spawn" #64 the figure clearly has "666" written on the helmet over the visor. Gee, can you imagine any reason why they might have made that change before marketing this particular Spawn figure? To be fair, in "Checkmate," the story of issue #64, when Spawn dons the disguise for Wynn's SWAT team, he does not have any number on his helmet. This was an interesting choice to be included in this series, inspired by the cover art of "Spawn" and some of its related titles. My only serious complaints are that the "gold" parts of the outfit should be a little brighter, so there is more of a contrast with the metalic blue-grey parts, and that Spawn's eyes, the only part of his iconic image that you can really see, need to stand out just a tap more. Personally, I think it would have been more interesting to see a trio of these figures as a SWAT team chasing down Spawn (my favorite from the series is the issue #43, which has considerably more detail than the original cover art).

Oh, and how are these "educational"? Well, they inspire kids to go back and read the original comic book don't they? DON'T THEY? I know I did, because otherwise I would have not caught some of the differences.

The Unleashed line of toys continues with this figure of Darth Sidious. His face doesn't really match the one seen in RETUN OF THE JEDI, but the amount of detail and action in the sculpt help make up for it. The figure comes with two pairs of hands. One normal, the other features blue lightning bolts shooting out from his fingertips. I found it was best to display the figure with one regular hand and one hand with lightning. If you attach both hands with the lightning at the same time the amount of lightning looks a bit ridiculous plus his face can get obscured from certain angles.

Drawbacks - You'll have to find a safe place to store the hands not attached to the figure. The lightning bolts seem pretty sturdy, but I'm sure if they got bent they would break. On my figure the paint job on the pair of hands that have lightning is rather sloppy.

I recommend this figure, but it doesn't reach the high standard set by other figures in the series.

although it's stink doesn't last long, this is a really cool toy! so i think you should buy it very much

When I ordered this item, I was ordering for my daughter. She loves Strawberry Shortcake. However, in the photo, I didn't realize that the jewelry box had the "vintage" version. The vintage version is from my childhood when Strawberry looked like Holly Hobbie. My daughter only knows the new stlye one. Now I don't know if I should give this item for Christmas or not.

Well,i'm really into SD so,i dig this toy.It resembles the Doga commandos(off of the SD show)ship.It also transforms into a lil'
