Whoever is sliding into home here is not going to make it
Irony abounds with this second sports figure of Mike Piazza from McFarlane Toys.Piazza has always been known as one of the best hitting catchers of all time, currently with a .313 career average and 384 home runs.But then the first Piazza figure showed him in full follow-through at the plate having just hit the ball someplace hard, so they wanted to come up with something different for this one.The other ironic element is that there was all this talk about moving Piazza to first base, to save the wear and tear on his legs working behind the plate, that he is still catching, as shown in this MLB Series 11 figure.That Series 1 figure was as a New York Met too (I thought that would be far back enough to when Piazza was a Los Angeles Dodger, but I was wrong).

The scale on this figure is 6-inches, although obvious the figure is not that tall since he is shown blocking the plate to prevent a runner from scoring.It would be nice if there was another McFarlane figure shown sliding that could make a mini-diorama, but I do not think there is one yet (and if there is, it is probably sliding into second instead of home).As we have come to expect from McFarlane there is nice detail on the uniform and the catching gear, but they also did a nice job sculpting the face on this one so that it is recognizable as Piazza (granted, the facial hair helps with the recognition factor).

McFarlane's MLB Series 11 also has the second figures for Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees, Ken Griffey, Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds, Mark Prior of the Chicago Cubs, and American League M.V.P. Vladimir Guerrero of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (or however that goes). Getting their first figures are Roy Halladay of the Toronto Blue Jays, Bill Wagner of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Johnny Damon of the Boston Red Sox, who has to hold the record for most hair on a McFarlane baseball figure.Mets fans can look forward to a figures of their two big free agent acquisitions this year as well with Carlos Beltran in Series 12 and Pedro Martinez in the Series 13 Extended Edition (old figures in new uniforms).

Editorial Review

Collectors of all things Simpson will snap up this playset of Judge Snyder’s court room. The set comes complete with a 5-inch figure of the judge and features Intelli-Tronic Voice Activation so when any of the 35 compatible action figures are connected, they can spew out recognizable Simpsons one-liners. This playset recites over 30 choice politically-incorrect phrases, such as Judge Snyder’s "This verdict is written on a cocktail napkin, and it still says guilty,"and "Mr. Hutz, do you know you aren’t wearing any pants?" The court room includes a removable American flag, a gavel, a Laws of Springfield, 2nd Edition text, and a cocktail napkin with a jury verdict written on it. This Simpsons interactive environment runs on three AA batteries (included) and comes with an exclusive mail-in offer for a free Be Sharp Apu figure. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Prospective lawyer loves it !!!!
For me this set is great! I recommend pairing this set with the blue haired lawyer. The detailing and everything is great, Judge Snyder and the lawyer have a few lines and I plan to put my homer in the witness stand for some interesting testimony. I'm actually thinking of putting this in my office as a conversation piece.

I reserve my judgment
As an attorney and a loyal Simpson's fan, I had to have this one. Unfortunately, I cannot find a Lionel Hutz figure to use with it (is is still available?) and the blue haired lawyer doesn't have Lionel's delivery. The slots for Judge Snyder and the witness stand are too cramped, but the small extras you get with the set are funny (yellow pad, liquor bottle, etc.). Not bad, but could have been better.

Wait until it's on sale
This playset isn't as spectacular as some of the others. Judge Snyder has quite a few things to say; however, Lionel Hutz only has one line, which seems odd since he is the most popular attorney on the show. Plus it is very difficult to attach the figures to 2 of the 3 ports because the guardrail makes it too small of an area. Some of the compatible figures, like Plow King Barney and Ranier Wolfcastle, are too large and fit better in unnatural poses (turn body 180 degrees at waist) if you can get them to fit at all. I really like the WOS toys on the whole, and although amusing, this set wasn't as entertaining as some of the others.

Lionel Hutz it a bit limited...
i was really looking forward to this set because Lionel is one of the funniest characters in the show! However, he only says one phrase in this set "If I hear 'objection' and 'sustained' one more time, I think I'm going to scream!" While that line if funny, one is not enough. Phil Hartman was brillian and I want to hear much more from him.... though the blue haired lawyer's "drinky drinky" is hillarious. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Since they first appeared as Fisher-Price action figures, Rescue Heroes have been heralded for their courage, cool under pressure, and non-violent problem-solving, earning an animated TV show and a subsequent line of videos. For example, Billy Blazes, sporting a square jaw and a Tom Selleck-like mustache, spends his days fighting four-alarm infernos and helping fire victims. He's assisted by Firestomper, a strange-looking machine with four arching feet that flip it end over end toward the danger zone (remarkably well, we might add). Its ominous, mechanical sound effects make one wonder which trapped residents would fear more: the fire or the oncoming, crab-like robot. Required (and not included) are two AA batteries. --Andy Boynton ... Read more
