Also when taking him apart i noticed his shoulder to chest joint is a little bendier than sideway's, making it harder to rotate the arms because softer plastic tends to twist. other than that i seriously recommend him for people who enjoy a good repaint.』 『Creepy, dark, and depressed, DEAD END has few friends, even among the DECEPTICONS®. He usually hangs out in the darkest corner of the room, where his eyes can glow to their greatest effect. He never speaks, unless itâs to say something gloomy. The other DECEPTICONS avoid him, which suits him just fine. The only time theyâre useful to him is when theyâre recharging, and hecan sneak up on them to drain energy. Team up with this DECEPTICON® defender and take on AUTOBOT® forces! This advanced conversion figure features MECH ALIVE gearing that really gets his spinning "saw blades" moving! Convert to a sleek sports car in vehicle mode and give the good guys a chasethey wonât soon forget! Recreate exciting movie scenes or get rolling with your own adventures!』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Everyone loves Bumblebee!) 『I've collected pretty much the entire catalogue of Transformers from the 2007 hit movie, and there are some out there that are better. However, what I like about this incarnation of Bumblebee is that it is relatively easy to transform into robot form. Plus, the robot form looks very cool. Going back into automobile form can prove to be challenging, though after a few tries it should become second nature. The biggest drawback are the arm insignias that fall off way too easily. Most smaller children will lose these quite easily. I'm not really quite sure what Bumblebee's weapon is supposed to be, either. Finally, beware price gouging. I believe this item can still be found on the Hasbro website for around $10 plus shipping.』
(not the best early transformer) 『This was my second transformer. It was extremely discouraging to transform it at first. Please, if you're going to get this, get it as your fifth transformer or later. If you want him, get him, but wait until you're experienced.』
(This is a "look only" kind of toy) 『Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Bumblebee 2008 Camaro I did not realize how fragile this toy was. It's made of plastic and fell apart on Christmas morning!! I have to assume this is an adult collector item and is not a toy. I have to wonder though; "Why would anyone want to collect something so cheaply made?" A real disappointment.』
(Bumblebee Transformer DON"T WASTE YOUR $$$$, it's crap!!) 『I was under the impression that the price meant better quaility and durablilty, but with this product that was untrue. The simaliar bumblebee transformer was at WalMart for $10.00 that was the same quality and durability. My son recieved this toy on Christmas day, it is now the 28th of December and the head has already fallen of 5 times, the door has come off twice. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. THIS PRODUCT SUCKS!!!! I wish I could get my money back for this piece of CRAP!!』
(Falls apart easily) 『This transformer doesn't seem to hold up very well. Parts fall off easily and are hard to get back on, especially for little hands. Not very impressed.』 『Bumblebee could have cared less about his appearance. As long as his alternate mode kept him hidden, and protected his plasma cannon from the weather, he was content. But now, on Earth, he has found friendship for the first time in as long as he can remember, in the person of Sam Witwicky. At Sams urging, he scans a sweet new vehicle form. Now, hes still ready to fight to the end against the deceptions, but he sure hopes nothing too bad happens to his paint job. Convert this AUTOBOT figure from menacing robot mode to Camaro concept vehicle mode and back again. It features a cannon that converts to a blade in robot mode. This is one awesome figure for your collection.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Don't judge too hastily! It's all in the paint job!) 『Okay, so for starters, I'm a huge Indy fan. I have waited a long time for an Indiana Jones action figure line with decent quality and many characters, and since I've collected Star Wars figures forever, I actually wanted them to be this 3 3/4 size too (granted, I prefer my other collectible figures to be 6 inches or so, but I don't usually get accessories or playsets for those). Well, with the 4th Indy film, which is way underrated in my opinion (fellow longtime fans should give it a second viewing before deciding yea or nay; I had to warm up to it myself but love it now), that long dreamed of action figure line finally arrived from Hasbro... to mixed reactions. I'm sure many complaints were about the small size of the figures compared to the now more popular 6 inch or larger action figures out there for adult collectors these days. And, let's face it, most Indy fans are adults who grew up with the original films. However, I think what put most people off of this new line is that many, MANY figures were released to stores with awful paint jobs. I mean TERRIBLE paint jobs, specifically in terms of the eyes. This was most noticeable in the Raiders figures, and Indiana more than anyone.
Now, in my case, I wanted to wait and make sure they made more figures, and I wanted to see if the price wouldn't go down a bit too. Figures are way overpriced these days. But, once I saw Last Crusade figures on the shelves (along with a price drop of a couple of bucks), I dived in. A few of those first figures I bought I have previously reviewed, and let me tell ya, those ones I selected had excellent face sculpts! Of course, with huge, cartoony eyes painted on some of the figures, it would sure be difficult to notice the sculpting underneath. So, combine those first bad impressions with the fact that young kids just don't seem to "get" Indy (yeah, it was the second biggest film this past year, but the toys sat on shelves till the figures hit 3 bucks recently, and they're still moving slowly with a few character exceptions), and you end up with the problem I'm having now. I have wanted a Short Round figure to stand next to my Indy figure forever (a desire carried over from my original Kenner Indy figure), and it seems those Temple figures are only going to be available online now, for those of us in the states, at outrageous scalper prices since the first couple of rounds of figures sold so poorly. And to add insult to injury, the Elsa and Colonel Vogel figures have been in extremely short supply since day one. Man, I want an Elsa!
Anyways, as I searched fruitlessly for Elsa and the Temple figures this weekend at the big U.S. retailer who recently cut the price on these figures down to clearance levels, I did increase my total collection count to 14 (hope to add more before they're gone, too), and one of the main priority figures I did manage to find (though with a wee bit of difficulty) was the basic Raiders Indy figure. These were not hard to find at all before the figures went on clearance, and they even had playsets with very basic looking Indys out there. However, it was the holidays and money was tight. The other issue with this one is that big paint job issue. As I said, this is the one I saw most often with big ol' cartoon eyes, and poorly painted ones at that. However, if you check out enough of these figures, you're sure to find some that are actually painted correctly, and while the sculpt is nowhere near as good as the one for the Last Crusade and Crystal Skull Indy figures, it's more than passable considering all the detail that has gone into these figures. Seriously, these things are tight! From Indy's weathered leather jacket to his weapons and accessories, if you get one of these figures with a great paint job, you should be very pleased.
They're well articulated too! I count approximately 18 points of articulation on this particular figure, and he comes with 5 accessories and a special mysterious artifact surprise (at this point, I forget which figures came with which "mystery item", but suffice to say that each character comes with something different, and they're pretty cool relics but are sized for something larger, like maybe that new 6 inch or so Indy figure at Disney World). The accessories are Indy's trusty gun and whip, his MKVII gas mask bag, an action-posed alternate whip, and the golden idol he quested after in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Notable features with this Indy figure are a working gun holster and the fact that his hat is not removable. Most of them don't have removable hats, but I point it out here because some do. Frankly, these are better. The ones with removable hats look silly if you put the hat on, because their hats look too big on them. They look cool holding their hats though.
To sum up, this figure is really pretty sweet with lots of cool attributes, IF you make sure to check out the paint jobs and pick one that you like. I've seen the big eyes problem with the Marion figure too, and probably others. A few figures, like Marion, don't really capture good likenesses, but even those are nice figures if you get ones with decent paint jobs, and some figures just look amazing (like the Grail Knight, Indy's dad, Young Indy, and the Crystal Skull and Last Crusade Indys). But, of course, this classic Raiders Indy figure is a MUST for your collection. 』
(Indiana Returns) 『With the release of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, it's been nineteen years since the last Indiana Jones flick. George Lucas, Paramount, and company weren't going to let this huge event movie get away without some major merchandising, including a full line of action figures. I grew up watching the Indiana Jones films and I'm glad to own one of these action figures. This figure is the classic Indy figure from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. The figure harkens back to the classic action figures of the 1980s, but with more points of articulation. The only negative about the figure is the face. Even though this is a toy, the face is kind of creepy-looking when viewed straight on. If you look at the face from the side, however, he looks like Indiana Jones. Great item for any Indiana Jones fan, whether young or old.』
(Keeping up with the Jones' !) 『Granted the facial sculptures on these figures isn't the greatest. But, in my opinion I happen to like it that way. It gives these new Indiana Jones figures a type of nostalgic quality. This Indy figure kind of harkens back to the old Kenner toy day's of the late 70's and 80's. I like that. After all, these are just small 4" inch action figures, not sculptures or statues. If you want youre Indiana Jones figure with a perfect, dead on likeness and sculpt then buy him as a statue. These are just action figures people. 』
(Fugley!) 『I love Indiana Jones and have looked forward to a new series of figures, particularly Raiders figures. The figure has neat features and plenty of articulation, but the likeness to Harrison Ford is sorely lacking. The face looks like someone you would find living in a dumpster behind a bar. You might be better off pulling the head off of a Han Solo figure and placing it on Indy, unfortunately you would lose the trademark hat. Oh well, I am still happy to have him in my collection.』 『Jump into the adventure with this articulated Indiana Jones action figure. Donning his signature safari-style fedora, this detailed figure is outfitted in his signature garb, including a gun holster, messenger bag and whip. Unearth the hidden relic in the Top Secret container and get started on your own daring chase from death, danger and delinquent minds. Figure comes with hat, messenger bag, golden fertility idol, whip, pistol, holster and "top secret" relic. This action figure measures 3.75"H.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (X-Wing fighter) 『Everything I expected when I ordered it. It was difficult to find (not in stores) but ordering it was easy and shipment came rather fast. In very good condition and to my surprise it came with a Luke Skywalker pilot when it had said on website that one was not included. Overall very pleased and it is hanging in my son's room along with the Tie Fighter we had purchased previously.』
(13-y/o Review) 『Cathrine Lazarou is my mother, so doin't worry about the title.
This is a very nice set. I got it for my Birthday, and I like it a lot. My only 2 complaints are that: 1)the wings shake/are seperate from the body, and 2)the one cannon keeps falling off. I fixed that by putting some ceran rap over the hole in the cannon, and than attaching it to the wing. All in all, however, it is an awesome set. I would highly recommend you getting it.
Oh, and by the way, for those of you who wonder where to put your small accessories, there is a secret compartment behind the seat in the cockpit. Just push/pull, whatever, the seat front, and than just stuff your stuff behind the seat. ;)』
(This is my favorite ship) 『My mom is writing this review for me. I am 6 years old and I got this from Santa. Luke skywalker fits in there, luke looks good his hands come off and I lost both of them. THis toy does NOT include an R2D2 unit, even though there is a place for him on the ship. Luke didn't come with a blue light saber, either. You only have to put on the wings when you buy it. The wings are strong and don't come off. The feet work good too. It can go in attack position. May The Force Be WIth You. - Miles 6』
(This thing rocks !!!) 『I got this more for myself than my kids. This toy is great and the kids are finally starting to appreciate that the X-wing is the coolest vehicle in our fleet... at least until we find a Republic Gunship.
This ship has good scale and impressive detail. The landing gear is the best of any Star Wars vehicle out there, and the X-wing's opening mechanism is simple and sturdy. One thing it misses is proton torpedoes. Every blasted fighter and action figure comes with missiles but this one.
While the Luke Skywalker figure bears a really good resemblance to Mark Hamill, it lacks articulation. The figure is also left handed cause the light saber only fits in his left hand. Thank goodness the new Legacy Luke Skywalker in pilot gear came out.
The dragonsnake is OK for filler, but an R2-D2 figure would have been better. Finally, the swamp muck is a nice detail (but I'd rather have an R2-D2), but it's impractical to keep around so it's stored safely in a box until I decide to display the X-wing somewhere.

(Kid's toy - what more could you want?) 『I read some of these reviews by adults who seemed somewhat dissatisfied with their purchase. Come on! This is a kid's toy. How does it work for its intended purpose? Just fine, thank you. My 5 year old loves it. Great removable moss. Very big! Generally pretty cool looking - or so he says! It seems certainly as sturdy as most plastic toys these days. All in all, no complaints.』 『Luke Skywalker has had several harrowing adventures in his X-wing fighter: from battling TIE fighters to the destruction of the first Death Star and even crash landing in a desolate swamp on Dagobah. Indeed, he has become one of the finest star pilots in the galaxy! A large predator native to Dagobah's many swamps, this dragonsnake tried to make a quick meal out of R2-D2 before realizing the droid was inedible. This awesome X-wing fighter has real moving parts, like S-Foils that move into attack position and retractable landing gear. Open the cockpit and the Luke Skywalker figure fits inside! Vehicle comes with Luke Skywalker figure, dragonsnake and removable moss. Luke Skywalker's infamous battle vehicle has moving parts and comes with a Luke Skywalker figure that fits inside the cockpit! Vehicle comes with Luke Skywalker figure, dragonsnake and removable moss. Ages 4 and up.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Fantastic!) 『My boys (5 and 7 years old) love playing "military" and really wanted a battelship for their naval fleet. This ship is very durable, has wheels on the bottom to easily slide across hard-floors, is very realistic, and came with a number of airplanes, vehicles, and navy guys. All are well constructed and have stood up well to the many "battles" they've been in. It's a more expensive toy, but well worth it and my kids love it! I especially love that it is all imagination---no batteries, no electronics, just imaginative fun!』 『This deluxe playset is centered around a detailed model of the USS New Jersey.』
