Collectible Reviews

Hello! I'm reviewing the Fairly Odd Parents Flop Swop Fairies. This toy is 2 faries with 2 combos for each farie. You can take the parts of the faries to make chickens,bugs,butterflies and turtles. This toy is fun beacuase, you can make the faries into different animals. And if you want you could play with them as action figures. It is educational beaceause it teaches you how to figures things and how to make combos. It is durable beacuase it really shouldn't brake unless you try to.

Thank you for reading this and i hope you buy!!!!!

this toy is so cool. i watch the show all the time on nick and i was wanted for some fairly odd parents stuff to come out and i saw this one so i got it it is really fun if you like the show get it.

This toy is awesome, alot better than the Frodo toy. It looks just like Bilbo Baggins or Ian Holm. The toy is very fun to play with. The featured picture does not look like the toy, the real toy looks better. He comes with more accessories than shown, including: His book, his backpack, bedrole, and Sting. Buy it !!

Bilbo looks so real. It looks like he came right out of the movie!You have to get this toy. He even has a little book that has a BB on it.

I am very pleased, toybiz did an awesome job with Bilbo very much what I expected. I would recommend this figure for kids and collectors alike.

I really enjoyed this toy! I have other Lord of the Rings actoin figures so when I got this I could play with him and other collectibles. This toy rocks!

After spending much time and effort to recreate scenes from the movies for my own enjoyment, I was given this great figure as a gift and I have to say, it is a perfect compliment to the PlayAlong figures. In fact, I immediately took out my Merry and Pippin, and placed them in his hands, which are able to grasp things, and WOW! The look was almost as good as a screen shot from the movie.

As noted by others, this Treebeard is very poseable, very much identical to the larger one, and as I have stated, absolutely perfect to use with the outstanding PlayAlong Armies of Middle Earth figures. If you couple this set with the Saruman and Isengard set, or the just released Fellowship set that includes the nine figures plus Bill the Pony, you'll be guaranteed hours of fun and plenty of inspiration to create your own adventures.

For anyone who has the 14" Deluxe version, this Treebeard Figure looks excatly like it, only smaller. The articulation is virtually identical, and it even has the right arm lifting action, which triggers the speaking action. He doesn't actually speak, but his mouth and mustache move. Good for those who are in a money crunch, or just want to complete a set. He dosen't tower over the other figures like the 14" version does, but at least the tallest of all the other 6" figures only come up to his mouth, so he is taller than the others. I've seen, and own figures where the height thing is even more greatly ignored. For example in the X-Men comic books, Omega Red is almost twice as tall as Wolverine, but in the Toy Biz lines from the 90's he is actually SHORTER than several of the Wolverine figures, many from the same sets. Toy Biz did a much better Job paying attetion to height and body build in the LOTR figure lines. You can stand your figures in a line, and then compare their heights to those in the film, and all of the height relationships are almost PERFECT. If it bugs you that much however, you can just pretend Saruman cast an evil spell on the poor ent, and shrank him. The quality and attention to detail are exquisite. It is also a very durable figure. I might let my kids play with the 8" Treebeard, but the 14" is mine. Mine, I tell you, MINE!!

This doll is beautiful and captures the true spirit of the Native Americans.

This is a very beatiful and authentic doll. I know because I am a native myself. But there are 2 catchs.
1. The colour of her dress is blue, which the natives never had.
2.At the bottom of her dress, it is ragged and ripped. Natives ALWAYS had there outfit completed.

This isn't the best from her series, but she is sure to make you smile. I would suggest giving some seriouse thought before buying her.

I absolutely love the Spirit of the Water Barbie, her clothes are gorgeous from a matching feather in her hair to a neckalce/bracelet set. She is designed beautifully!

This is a MUST HAVE for any Simpsons fan. It's a little cramped, but you can fit the three figures on at once. I say this is educational because it teaches kids not to squeal because they would violate the code of the schoolyard. Ha, ha! Well, great toy.

This toy is very cool! Military Bart is the second best to the very rare regular Bart. In the treehouse playset, he says many things, like: "I can't squeal, it would violate the code of the school yard" and "I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson." He also works in Main Street, saying "I'm going down to Moe's for a couple of beers." This is an absolute MUST HAVE! Cool figure, cool playset! Military Bart, like many other Simpsons toys, resembles the TV character like an identical twin. In addition to the playset, Military Bart comes with wearable sunglasses and a wearable army helmet with a badge/star on it. He also comes with a table, sword, and walkie-talkie. If you can't get your hands on regular Bart, definitely get this!!!!!

The long awaited playset of Barts Tree house is one of the better simpsons playsets. After the dissapointing showings of Retierment castle and Court Room playsets. THe phrases that are included in this playset with Military Bart as the main charater are, "I'm never gonna get out of the fourth grade alive, We are happy we are merry we've got a rhyming dictonary, and I promise you victory I promise you good times." The set comes with a table, binoculars, a sword, water balloons, and a military helmet. One con is that the set is smaller than others so fitting bigger characters in the enviroment can be tricky. The set also comes with for the first time with a openable roof. The show has said before, "We'll never stop the simpsons", and I hope we never do.

If you're a WoS collector like I am, then you should go out and get this. This is a nice figure to have around with Legs having a picture of Principle Skinner that labels, "Have you seen my Body?", a Cash Register, a small knife, and a Sniper Rifle. With the WoS series now coming to an end, I would get this right now for the labeled price as it will be worth alot more after the WoS line ends.

All the series 14 and 13 figures are very cheap now 6 dollars. Collectors and fans of the Simpsons should buy this figures now while they are still cheap if they don't then they will become more expensive like the series 1-12 figures.

Another well-executed figure by Playmates, "Legs" is one of the henchmen of Springfield's most notorious mob boss, Fat Tony. Legs comes with a cash counting machine, a dagger, a rifle with a scope, and a black and white mug shot of Principal Skinner that reads, "Have You Seen My Body Today?"

This is from an episode in which the mob was going to make a hit on Skinner for trying to expose Fat Tony's "animal" milk factory in which they were milking rats to supply milk via exclusive contract to the Springfield schools.

Die-hard Simpsons fans will love adding this to their collection.

This toy rocks!!!!!! one of the coolest spawn toys made yet!!!!
It's very fun to wake up and see this thing before any thing else!!!!! really, really cool!!!! LOTS of detail!!! perfect for
a chritmas!!!!!! Great story behind this toy!!!

If you like Spawn toys then you must get this one. He is the "most powerful" version of Spawn, so even if another Spawn is made in the future, that other model still won't be as powerful as this one.

Not huying this figure is like buying a David Banner toy, but not a Hulk toy.

While warrior Lilith may be a beautiful piece in the Spawn: Mutations series, the rest of the figures are rather grotesque. Spawn himself is no exception.

Tapping his hidden dark powers, Spawn mutates into a savage beast, much like how Clown was able to transform into Violator, to combat his newly reborn master Malebolgia. This figure is quite heavily detailed. Almost looking inspired by the Alien figures and crossed with the Violator, Spawn's beastial mutation is nothing short of gruesome.

Keeping similar design to his costume, Spawn takes on a whole new look. His head has become elongated(looking almost like the Alien Queen), with a gaping jaw and menacing teeth. The chains that connect from his head to his chest are very cool and give the figure a distinctive look. The rest of the body has taken on a muscular appearence, with bulging veins, ribbed armored skin, and spiked protrusions, with 4 fingered clawed hands and monsterous clawed feet. Spawn also has several protrusions from his back, as well as 2 spiked tails. He has a sickle-type protrusion on his right hand, and the 'M' design has remained on his chest. If you examine the figure closer, you will notice more 'M' designs on the figure as well ('M' for Malebolgia according to the mythos).

This truly is a great looking figure. The figure is not particularly colorful, but there's color where it counts. The result is that this figure has a truly menacing appearence. But it is not without some small problems. For instance, the figure comes packaged with the tails(which are 'bendy') bent around and across Spawn's chest to minimize packing space. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get the tails out of that position now...they seem to be permanently bent toward that position. The figure also has alot of trouble standing up(in fact, it fell over onto the keyboard as I was typing this!), since it is so top-heavy and detailed.

If you were to play with this toy, you could probably do so easily. It is articulated and is very sturdy. However, I recommend this, as usual, to collectors. This figure is a fine display piece and is a great addition to your spawn collection.

I've been collecting Star Wars figures for 26 years, and even though my collection is far from being even close to complete, I own enough of the small action figures to know that the quality of the figures has improved over the past two and a half decades. Not only are the figures more detailed than their 1977-1985 counterparts, but they also now include little "extras" that make them more attractive to adult collectors.

The Wampa, that carnivorous beast that menaces Luke Skywalker at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, is a fine example of how Hasbro has improved the Star Wars action figure line. Although Kenner (the original action figure manufacturer before Hasbro acquired it in the 1990s) had produced a first-generation Wampa Ice Creature, this one is far better. It looks exactly like the one that appears in the 1997 Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back, complete with a hunk of raw tauntaun and an "ice cave" base that connects with the Luke Skywalker Hoth Attack action figure to recreate the scenes where the young would-be Jedi Knight escapes from the Wampa's lair. The right arm detaches to simulate the effects of Luke's lightsaber, and if you examine the Wampa's facial fur, you'll see that he's not exactly a neat eater, as there are drops of blood matted onto the white fur. (Yuck!)

Although the Wampa is sturdy-looking and seems durable enough, I recommend it for collectors who are interested in displaying it along with its companion figure of Luke Skywalker (sold separately).

The Luke fig does NOT come with the Wampa, as shown in the main pic... Only when you get to the bubble pack pic do you see that you're being forced to buy the Luke fig seperately (which was what I expected...)

I love it. It recreates the cool scene in the beginning of "The Empire Strikes Back". The figure is very detailed and connects to another detailed figure (Luke Skywalker Hoth Attack). The piece of meat is a nice touch that shows that the people at Hasbro were really thinking details when they made this. I got the Wampa and the "Luke Skywalker Hoth Attack" for my collection.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

Deep in the termite-like chambers of Geonosis, the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems tensely look at a holographic battle display and watch in dismay as the Galactic Republic's new army of clones and a group of Jedi Knights appear to be on the verge of defeating the secessionists' army of battle droids. San Hill, leader of the Banking Clan, and Geonosian leader Poggle the Lesser stare helplessly at the conference table, while the more confident Count Dooku calmly retrieves the schematics of a terrible new superweapon as he prepares to leave for Coruscant.

Hasbro's Star Wars Saga Scene Pack: Geonosian War Chamber 1 vividly recreates a pivotal scene of 2002's Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones with the action figures of San Hill, Count Dooku, and Poggle the Lesser, with half of the holographic light table (complete with simulated holo displays of Republic gunships and walking "vulture" battle droids) in the foreground and a nicely rendered backdrop of the Geonosian underground chamber's wall. Poggle the Lesser leans on a cane that looks like it was carved from some beast's bone, San Hill looks properly terrified as he points at the light table, while the central figure, Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus, holds a finely detailed (considering its size) holo of the Death Star.

Although this little diorama can be displayed "as is" in its package, it can be connected to Geonosian War Chamber 2, another three-figure scene pack which features Nute Gunray, Passel Argente, and Shu Mai. (Unfortunately, collectors will have to head to their local Toys R Us "brick and mortar" stores to find both Geonosian War Chamber 2 and Jedi Council 2 Scene Packs; Amazon doesn't seem to carry them in their catalog.)

Considering that these are mass-produced collectibles and realizing that it is not very easy to capture fine detail in toys that are aimed at children 4 and up (but Hasbro suspects, I'm sure, that it's adult collectors who buy these things), these are really nicely rendered 3.75 inch figures. The poses capture the mood of the film's scene well enough.

My only gripe is that both War Chambers' light tables have the same simulated holos (two Republic Gunships very close to the central figure, a vulture droid in the extreme right foreground), which is repetitive and looks strange when you join both sets to create the illusion of a complete conference table. Other than that, the compact packaging and clear plastic top makes this -- and the other Scene Packs in the Star Wars figure collection -- an attractive collectible nice enough to show off in a collector's display shelf.

i just got this set and put it with set two which I already had, the tables join together. These figures are really well done, nice detail. Alone the set looks better in the box, but I had set two and put them together to make one big scene, along with the Wat Tambor figure, and looks really great.In this set you get Count Dooku holding the Death Star plans, San Hill of the Banking Clan, and Poggle the Lesser( he was the one that looked like the big grasshopper that ordered around all the smaller grasshoppers). These figures are more for display than play, San Hill is the only one who stands on it's own, you need stands for the other two if you take them out of the box. I'll agree with the last reviewer, you'd better get these because they will probably never be remade and you'll have to pay an unreal price on an auction site.

this is very nice because if you get both sets, youll have alot of figures that will probably never be remade. buy now before these skyrocket.

I was lucky enough to come across & buy this Han Solo retro-figure yesterday at my local K-Mart (yeah, there still in business) and the figure is well worth the money.

From the retro-card art on the front to the new "historical" style info on the back, this is one set of figures that you should not pass up. The figure is encased in a plastic protector with a new sculpt of Han Solo for the figure (the figure's finally have joint movements in the arms and legs!) and comes with his trademark blaster. There are a total of 12 of these figures that will be released in the coming months from Hasbro. In this set there are 4 figures from "Star Wars": Han Solo, Ben(Obi-Wan)Kenobi, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker (Luke might be the tough one to get from this set. There were 2 Leia, 3 Solo, and 3 Kenobi in the store, so I could only assume that the Luke figure is packed one per case or every other case, I'm not sure, but, thats my best guesstimate)

If your a "Star Wars" collector, these are the figures to go after.

Just make sure Greedo doesn't shoot first.

This is an outstanding "Vintage" Star Wars figure. It will bring you back to 1977 when you saw it on the shelf for the first time. I must say thank you to Hasbro for introducing this line of figures. This is a must purchase for any Star Wars fan.

The best figure and packaging combo from the Star Wars line since 1978. The added bonus of the plastic shell protecting each figure makes it worth every dime.
