Snukas Back
It's alright, You're twelve tops you have'nt seen it for real. Da.....rn coconut. Still piper? Get this if you don't already have Snuka or a good piper or either. Whatever you like.

its alright
I can see why they made this set.There trying to make that piper's pit rerun from quite awile back.If thats the case its kind of disapointing with what jakks did to these attires.Jimmy Sunka should of been weering blue and also should have came with his blue skirt.And whats with the ring bell.Every jimmy snuka doll comes with the ring bell.HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A RING BELL!!!!!!!!If anything give him his skirt.Roddy piper should have came with his t-shirt on.other than that this set is pretty ok.I do admire the coconuts.That's a big plus!!!!!!I believe any future jimmy snuka dolls should come with coconuts and the blue skirt. ...

Oh man, these are cool.
I remember playing with these things when I was growing up, and the old ones were as poseable as a brick, and broke really easily. Hey, I loved them; they were cars that turned into robots and then fit together with OTHER cars that turned into robots. What's not to love? But the new versions... man, kids these days have it all.

The new line of Energon constructicons are plenty durable and playable, and, like their predecessors, fit together with the other four in the series to make one big robot. Steamhammer is one of the coolest of the bunch, with a large shovel for a hand and several accessories.

These are good toys for kids in general; they make you think sideways in order to figure out how to transform them, and each little puzzle forms part of a bigger puzzle (the larger gestalt robot). Like I said, I loved these growing up and hopefully my kids will, too.

SteamHammer: a big steamin' pile of...
Well, I figured it hadda happen eventually, that they'd be makin' combiner sets for the TransFormers Energon line. And, bein' a line chock-full of "tribute" pieces to Gen One favorites, I hadda figure they'd throw a few of those into their combiner sets. And sure enough, that's what they've done here with SteamHammer, whose appearance hearkens back to the greatest TransFormers combiner team of them all, the Constructicons (most notably Scavenger, the Gen One team's backhoe-robot).

Unfortunately, the `Hammer and (with the help of his four companions) the super-bot he transforms into don't really look all that impressive to me. While Constructicon Maximus might have more poseability than Devastator did, Devastator looked a lot cooler just standin' `round than the new guy does in whatever poses you can put `im in. As for Steamie himself: his vehicular form, a futuristic-lookin' steam shovel, is very oddly proportioned. And while his robot form has a nice degree of poseability-- which is a big step up from his Gen One Constructicon forebears-- I'm not too hip with his left arm and hand bein' made up of the shovel boom and scoop. It just ain't stylin'...

Needless to say, I strongly recommend you pass this guy and his companions by, and wait `til Takara/Hasbro puts out a semi-decent-looking "tribute" combiner set...

Batman 12" figure...WOW!!
This figure is simply beautiful. It looks great sitting on a shelf and it's a great toy for young Batman fans to play with. The only way they could make this toy better is to have additional characters from the world of Batman to go along with it. Superman would look great in this form. And, of course, you need some villians. Joker, Riddler, Two Face, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze! They all would be perfect! However, it's only Batman who comes in the 12" size for now, so you'll have to use your imagination. One drawback for this figure is when he bends his leg at the hip, it causes the pockets in his utility belt to open when you don't want them to. Other than that, there is NOTHING to complain about. Go ahead and buy five of them. Maybe the strong demand will persuade Mattel to continue this type of action figure.

This Darkknight is THE DARKKNIGHT!!
It is about time that someone comes out with an accurate depiction of Batman The Darkknight himself. This is not your fathers Batman!
This is the real Darkknight, and it shows just by looking at him.
This goes in line with any comic book fan, a good example of Frank Millers The Darkknight Returns, not as old of course, but never the less, this is the true depiction of what The Darkknight is all about! Here Here Mattel, I give a 4 1/2 star batarang rating on this one! (The utility pouches do not open as far as shown, and can be cracked, so be careful, don't force it). The batcape also doesn't spread out as shown,it's sewn to his costume above his shoulders, so it takes some creativity to get it to stay if you like the full batwing look. ... Read more

Loved it for a few minutes until the megaphone didn't work!
My son received this toy as a birthday gift and we couldn't get it out of the box fast enough. He was so excited and couldn't wait to play with it. It didn't take us long to figure out that the megaphone only partially worked. We couldn't talk into it like we were supposed to. I changed the batteries hoping that would help. Then it didn't work at all! I put different batteries in, changed them around, everything. I finally unscrewed the thing and looked at the wires. I was surprised to see the wires being held together with string and masking tape! Low and behold, a wire was lose. I tried to fix it and ended up breaking it entirely...within 10 minutes of having the toy. My son is so disappointed that I'll probably end up having to go buy a whole new one just for the darn megaphone! I'm going to see if Fisher-Price will send me a replacement part, but I'm not counting on it.

Big Billy Is A Big Hit!!
I purchased this item for my six year old son who is a die hard Rescue Heroes enthusiast. He LOVES it! The megaphone was a lot of fun for him, and he likes the idea of having a larger action hero to play with. For me and my husband, it was very reminiscent of our old GI Joe dolls. Rescue Heroes are great toys with an equally good message. We own most of the line, and Fisher Price should be applauded for not only making a quality toy at a reasonable cost, but for constantly evolving the line so there are always new things to buy at holiday and birthday time!

Big Billy Was Big Hit
I got Big Billy Blazes for my nephew's 2nd birthday. It was his first Rescue Heroes figure, and he fell in love with it right away. He figured out how to use the megaphone before most of the adults in the room did. My nephew brought Billy to bed with him that night, and now Billy goes almost everywhere in the car with him. And he is always talking about being a firefighter when he gets big. Billy is very durable and he was a big hit with my nephew!! I would definitely recommend this toy, as well as the other Rescue Heroes figures. ... Read more

Yanks - Sox rivalry, it doesnt get better than this!
This is an awesome collectors item for a yankee or red sox fan. Youve got Jeter a guy who has won 4 WS rings in 8 years in the Bigs and Nomar who is one of the top 3 SS's in the game, and is a great player all around also. On top of that its the YANKEES vs REDSOX!! Must have for any Jeter or No-Mah fan. Very nice mcfarlane piece.

Nomar tries to take Jeter out with a wicked hard slide
Once thing the Alex Rodriguez deal did was to make the debate as to who is the best shortstop in baseball still playing the position of shortstop relatively simple (that debate is worthy of another star in the educational value rating). Here we have the two prime contenders, Nomar Garciaparra of the Boston Red Sex sliding into second base in an attempt to break up a double-play, but Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees has already fired the ball off to first base. Come to think of these figures also can be considered educational because Nomar is showing perfect form on the slide and Jeter is doing likewise on the throw to first.

Of course the question is whether Yankee fans will be able to tolerate having a figure of Nomar (he is clearly out already, which should make it more palatable) or that BoSox fans can endure having Jeter in the house (he finally got his batting average over .200, so there really would not be a debate except that Garciaparra has not played a game yet this year, just another ironic aspect to the big debate). The key details on this pair of 6" figures this time is actually the base, where Nomar's slide has smoothed out the dirt behind him and already thrown dirt on the first base side of the second base bag. McFarlane usually manages to come up with some nice details on these figures, which set the standard for action figures, even if they are only movie characters and not sports stars.

These are actually one of two McFarlane Toys figures for both players to come up this year. The Nomar Garciaparra 2 figure came out with McFarlane's MLB Series 9 and the Derek Jeter 2 figure will be part of MLB Series 10. The second 2-Pack has Todd Helton holding Sammy Sosa at first. It will be interesting to see see what other combinations they can come up with in this format: Mike Piazza getting reading to tag Roger Clemens at the plate, Ichiro beating the throw to Jason Giambi at first, Chipper Jones letting Andruw Jones catch the ball in left center, Alex Rodriguez at bat with Ivan Rodriguez catching, etc. There could be some interesting possibilities with this format.

We can also look forward to the first series in the Cooperstown Collection this summer, which will have living Hall of Fame members Yogi Berra, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Brooks Robinson, Nolan Ryan, and Tom Seaver. There will also be 12" figures of Ryan and Sammy Sosa around World Series time as McFarlane Toys continues to expand its sports figure lines. ... Read more

its not a toy,its a miniture mike tyson!
When I got this thing,it was tough to get it out of the box,I thinkI may have even broke it a little while opening it.
the badness didn't stop there,the thing is offensive!
I pressed the button and it said "put down my cookies,villian!"
I was suprised it said that,and then it grew arms and legs and beat up my 4 children.
then it strangled my dog and kicked me 7 times.
I called the police and they thought I was joking so now I'm stuck with this "toy" and I caged it so it wouldn't kill anymore of my kids!
don't buy it!

No judgement!!!
When my son got this toy (he is 10), he thought it would have 2 lights in judgement mode: one being guilty and one being innocent. Well ,it didn't! All it does is it has a voice that says judgement time. I do not recommend this toy!

Great Morpher
This is one of the first morphers that used a great durable material and it's really close to the one in the show.

The Delta morpher comes in 2 modes (Change Mode) and (Judgement Mode) and 2 buttons.

As pictured, when the large black button is moved all the way to the top (Change Mode) and the grey button on the top of the morpher is pressed the flap door opens, they have the "SPD" Badge and on the morpher and there is a number pad on the bottom flap.

When the large button is moved all the way to the bottom (judgement Mode) and the grey button is pressed you get a different setting like pictured above.

The morpher also comes with a small clip that you can easily slide on to the back of the morpher to hook onto your cloths.

It's really fun and I believe it's worth every penny of $14.92 CAD that I spent on this morpher.

This is how I understand this new morpher to work as, in the show they use the morpher in a crime to judge an alien or human if they are guilty or innocent of their actions. They also use it as a normal cell phone and a police badge. And of course to change into rangers.

It's a bit of a change from past "Phone" or "wrist" morphers but it is really good and you will like it, at least I did.

As all morphers in the past have, this morpher uses AAA batteries.

SPD EMERGENCY
THIS TOY HAS JUDGEMENT MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the japanese DEKARANGER morpher is still better. it has a 3rd mode: liscence mode!it also comes with cards. the DELTA morpher fused the liscence mode with the phone mode... ... Read more

very fun
This toy is really fun. first it comes with this ooze stuff that doesnt stain the carpet and doesnt ruin the figures or play set. It may be a little frustrating putting it togeather but the instructions were very deatailed. Heres a tip: dont lose the pieces or else will not be able to use it. put it togeather in a wide open space so you can always find the pieces.
I had no trouble with the pieces togeather (maybe the other review people had a deffective set lol)

Anyway i would reccommned this toy to your kids. it is defidently worth the money !

oh yeah and one more thing about the ooze stuff is that you should always keep in in the plastic barrel that it comes in and not on the floor. or else you will have alot of stuff sticking to it like i do.

Disappointed!
My son received this for Christmas. He got frustrated quickly trying to put it together, and it took the adults several hours to assemble, then broke apart the minute we picked it up to move it. After many attempts to put it together and keep it that way, the pieces now sit in a toybox, forgotten. He likes the little turtle characters and the fighting platform, but the lair itself is a waste of time & money.

I really enjoy this toy!
I love this toy! being a big fan of the Ninja Turtles, I enjoyed playing with the characters and making my own adventures. Two things I like about this set is that it comes with a miniature version of the Sewer Slider, the Ninja Turtles Go-Kart, and some Amazing Mutagen Sewer Sludge that does not stick to the set, making it possible to dump it on the Shredder and his Foot Soldiers without a sticky mess! I would recommend this set and the two other Ninja Turtle Mega Bloks sets to any Ninja Turtle Fan! This set only took me about an hour to complete, but I have been building with Legos and Mega Bloks for many years, so it might take other people longer to complete. The only problem I found with it was I had a hard time trying to make the couch stick to the set, but otherwise it is a very fun and easy set!

Awesome toy
My 11yr old son loves this toy. I was impressed with details on the lair and the number of figures that are included for the price. We have left it assembled and haven't had any problems it coming apart. It's one of his favorites.

A zillion itty-bitty pieces
This sucker took me 2 hours to put together...it comes with a ton of itty bitty pieces, to make a 2-story building, with a street on top of it. We're talking lots of the 2-dot legos here. Even the tv set has about 14 pieces, as does the couch! Needless to say, I'm not tossing this thing back into the general lego pile. It does have a cute car, and little weapons, and 1-inch figures, and my kid thought the ooze was super cool...for about 15 minutes on Christmas morning. I don't know why, but I got 4 turtle-mainiacs (ages 5-8) running through the house, and this thing just sits there. The Battle Shell Mobile, which holds 4 of the 5-inch figures, and shoots missiles, is a much better turtle toy. ... Read more

I don't recommend buying this
The 9 piece set was disappointing when i first got it and saw it up close. I did not know that the action figures were going to be that small. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, etc. are a little taller than 2 inches while the hobbits are about 1.5 inches tall. Well that wouldn't have bothered me that much if the painting on the faces of the figures was well done but it wasn't. Half of Frodo's face looks disfigured and he and the rest of the figures are not very bendable or posable.
Save your money for something better and don't buy this. I'm probably going to return mine.
Well i hope this review helps someone out.

Lord Of The Money Thieves
My son's action figure fell apart after 2 days. He did not play rough with it or drop it or anything. I resent this toy.

The Fellowship of the Ring (with Bill the pony ) 10 set
This is such a great set that any Lord of the Rings fan should purchase it. It has ten figures with many weapons. These figures include Gandalf the Grey, Frodo Baggins, Boromier, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Sam, Legolas, Aragon, and Bill the Pony. They all come with their weapons and can be removed off their stands. The stands fit together to show how they travel. Some of their weapons are Aragons' sword,Legolas and his elven knifes, Frodos' sword (named sting), and Gimli with his double bladed axe. The figures are very detailed with their cloaks (that are not able to be taken off them) and Aragon and Sam have luggage on their cloakes. Bill carries much of the fellowships luggage. There are only two small things that I don't like. One of them is Legolas has deadly accuracy with his elven bow but in this set it is slung over his shoulder and cannot be removed. The other thing is that Sam has his hobbit sword but cannot be put in his hand. But everthing else is just fine. It is one of the best set that I have seen. Like I said before, any Lord of the Rings fan should by this right now!

It even has Bill, what more do you need to know?
This is a great item and a 'must get' for any LOTR fan. I just ordered my second one. I have only ever seen these offered on 2 websites and the other one is sold out. As far as I know you can only get it here.

I have many LOTR items but this was my first AOME item. I have to say I am very impressed. They went to great lengths to get details right, like what Aragorn, Sam, and Bill are carrying. As much as could be expected they tried to make the characters look like the actors, but in a more important sense Play Along was able to capture the Fellowship embarking on their quest. Such a wonderful moment in the imaginations of I am sure each of us.

I do have one caveat. There are MANY very small items. I would not give this set to anyone under 5 as is the recommendation under any circumstances nor would I let them around it. As stated in the excellent review below, the arms are all molded on so if you did have very young people around the set I would at least take the extra set of weapons off of all of them.

Lastly it has Bill! Bill is almost impossible to find on any LOTR set or item. The wonderful sideshow item has long been sold out. It is almost worth it just having Bill. In any case, FOTR in many ways remains my favorite of the 3 movies and this will be a wonderful way to remember the book and movies. Like all things LOTR this will sell out and it is a limited edition. I'd buy one now rather than miss it later, which is going to happen, even with it being hard to find using the amazon search.

Why the 5 for education? Well the fellowship has 4 different races represented starting out, 5 or 6 if you count wizards and horses. And they all worked together. How important of a message is that?

The Nine sets out from Rivendell, to your home!
Another great set in a series that is garnering fame across the toy world, PlayAlong's Fellowship of the 9 set is a fabulous addition to their already outstanding line. These figures and bases recreate a scene from the movie, where Gandalf the Grey leads his fellowship out of Rivendell to destroy the Ring of Power. But that is just a facet of the fun. Like all of their line, these great sculpts are poseable, and come with removable weapons and acoutrement.

Again, I caution those with small children, to know your child before getting this set, as the small array of knives, swords, hat, etc. may be too small and pointed for younger hands. Also, some of the thinner items such as the swords and handles are of a stiffer plastic making them a bit fragile.

I have noted that PlayAlong must be adding to the figures poseability. Unlike their earlier versions, which have a modicum of arm and waist movement, these exceptional figures of the nine have poseable heads, arms, elbows, legs, and waists, on many.

Gandalf the Grey comes with his noble staff and pointy hat, as well as Glamdring, his sword. Merry and Pippin come with their gift of Elven swords from Aragorn. Frodo as well. Samwise Gamgee shoulders his burden of tackle and cooking pan, exquisitely sculpted onto his pack. His bastion, Bill the Pony by his side laden with provisions. Boromir strides with his shield on his back and his horn at his side, he comes with his sword. The gruff and gregarious Gimli carries a brace of axes at his waist, and comes with a doble bladed ax for his hands. The noble Aragorn shoulders a removable acoutrement of an unstrung bow, rope, closed quiver and bedroll, as well as his sword. Lastly the lithe Legolas shoulders his bow, quiver, and Elven knives, but also comes with two additional knives that can be placed in his hand.

The bases are form fit like a puzzle piece to provide an unbroken line of adventurers set out to save Middle Earth from the destruction of Sauron. For other adventures, as I have noted with the line, since the weapons are removeable, and these sculpts are nonconfrontational, the play and enjoyment is limited only by one's imagination. Take any number of the castle playsets that abound and you, your children, or your friends can create hours of humorous fun, either inspired from the films, or from your own mind.

These toys are perhaps one of the greatest lines of movie inspired toys to date. Many of us have waited a lifetime for such, and they also go well with some of the toys we may have gathering dust in the attic. I recently placed my figures next to an older larger Dragon from the Dragonheart movie line of toys, and the first thought that came to mind was.....Smaug!

You will greatly enjoy this set. ... Read more

False Adsvertisement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This toy is a little on the small size! You may think you are getting something big when it is not big at all! It also shows a light feature for the eyes which is not included. It is not radio controlled either. Overall this toy is okay for a Power Ranger Fan but if your kid is not into it I suggest you don't get it for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read more
