Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not as cool as the real Iron Man!) 『So it doesn't have as many movable limbs as you would think. Below average for what action figures are capable of today. I'd only recommend it to Iron Man fans and collectors. I'd also suggest to just buy it at Target, you get it right away, and it's cheaper. But it's durable and looks good.』
(Paint job is lousy) 『I am very disappointed with the paint job on this toy. On mine, there is a big blob of red paint in the middle of the part of the helmet that should be all gold, and another splash of misplaced red across a gold portion of his knee. One of the thin black lines around his eye also went astray and ended up across his cheek instead. Very shabby quality control on the part of Hasbro.』
(Great movie, but an okay action figure.) 『I loved the Iron Man Movie, so much in fact that i saw it twice. When i found out that toys would be released, i kneew i just had to have one. Iron Man has been a favorite of mine in the Marvel World, but the action figure doesn't quite cut it.
Okay, so here are the up's: The overall stance, color, look, and points of articulation are all nice. I mean, he looks like he came right out of the movie. I don't play with him as much as i just pose him. And the little blaster cannon was a nice touch, and shot the projectile clear across the room!
Now, the disappointments. When i opened it, both of his red shoulder pads flew off and my wife had to help me find them AND put them back on. I wanted to glue them so they'd stay, but i don't want to damage the toy. Also, his right hand is at an angle to where i can't turn it correctly, and i didn't want to break it (He's a little rigid), and the head doesn't even move, but the torso does (wierd). the paint job was nice, just a little soppy and not even, but from a distance, you could hardly tell.
Overall, I gave it 4 stars. It's a must have for any collector of Marvel Movies or graphic novel readers, but I wouldn't but it for a 10 tear old as just another "toy", definitely for collectors.』
(ironman movie figurine) 『Paint job is terrible. Hasbro is slowly but surely not monitoring quality control for its toys anymore. There is really bad paint mixing, paint overspray and dried paint drip-wipe. Awful ! IT made my skin crawl. I thought it was handpainted by preschool kids. 』
(Great for me, but probably not for everybody.) 『According to Amazon's star rating system, 5 stars means "I love it," and I do, so I had to go with the full five stars, though that does not mean this toy will please everyone, and even I wouldn't have minded a few changes.
To look at it, I never would have guessed that the head doesn't move at all (at least, I can't get it to, and I don't want to break it or scratch the paint trying). The figure has many other great points of articulation though (ankles, knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, upper body, wrists), and if you get one with a good paint job (which is why I prefer to buy figures in person; I searched through a ton of these at the one store that still had any before I settled on one), it just looks fantastic. The removable, arm mounted cannon is the usual unwanted extra. I mean, I'd have preferred some attachments to make him look like he's flying or blasting from his hands. Still, packing the cannon away in a storage box of action figure accessories I don't really need, what is left is an awesome display piece for those of us trying to build up a movie-based Marvel collection who don't intend to actually play with it. Haven't had the problem of armor popping off, but as I said, I bought this mainly for display with my other Marvel movie figures (Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Wolverine, Rogue, and a 9 inch Hulk; I know, I still need to get the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and a ton of X-Men, but I committed to this collection rather late in the game), not for playing. I haven't tried many poses because I don't want to damage it at all. I will say that the wrists look very delicate to me and are my primary concern when it comes to over-handling, along with the paint. Since he doesn't have attachments to make him effectively look like he's flying though, all I really need him to do is stand there and look pretty, and he does that beautifully, like he stepped right out of the film. If you're looking for a basic Iron Man figure from the film, this Mark 03 version is the one to get.
』 『Iron Man Movie Wave 01: Iron Man Mark III appears to boast an array of articulation similar to that of a Marvel Legends figure and is equipped with a missile launcher. The red and gold Mark III armor is much sleeker than the Mark I armor, the latter of which was a rough draft with a life-saving pacemaker that enabled Tony Stark to persevere against grave injury and capture in Afghanistan. The armor provides Tony Stark with vastly augmented strength, near-invulnerability, and an arsenal of advanced weaponry including missiles and repulsor blasts; with this version of Iron Man, the repulsor blast function is apparently externalized in the form of arm-mounted projectile-firing cannon. Its fully pose-able and articulated six inch scale action figure with accessories. Compatible in size with previous Marvel Legends releases.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Don't Buy This Toy Because of a Guilty Conscience.) 『I bought this action figure for my nephew a while back. I been givin him presents and bein extra nice to him, tryin to get him over bein scared of me ever since I snuck into his room one night and dismembered his toy monkey with a kitchen knife (long story ...). He was pretty tormatized by the whole event and I thought givin him somethin to do with Jesus would show him how sorry and refirmed I was.
At first my nephew liked the gift, but it seemed like havin the Deluxe Jesus round his other toys took the fun outta playin. His favorite thing used to be to play with his GI Joe action figures, but after the Deluxe Jesus came on the scene none of his GI Joes would hold onto their little plastic guns anymore. They just kept fallin outta their little plastic hands. I think the GI Joes all felt remoose and guilt for shootin at folks with Jesus watchin. It surprises me that Jesus wouldn't even want GI Joe to shoot at Cobra? If Cobra don't deserve shootin than I don't know a soul in this world what does, but I ain't gonna argue with the Deluxe son of God.
With the fun taken out of GI Joes, my nephew started to feel a little scared and guilty. He felt like he needed to play somethin more wholesome to keep Deluxe Jesus from sendin him to Deluxe hell. He tried playin Barbies with the neighbor girl, but she sent him away real quick. Seems they couldn't figure out anything for Barbie and Ken to do together that didn't feel shameful with Deluxe Jesus watchin. Plus, all the tables and displays in the Barbie mall kept gettin tipped over somehow.
With all the trouble, there were a couple advantages of this toy though. First, I thought for sure those little loafs and fishies were gonna get lost within a day or two, but they're all over the place now. There's gotta be thousands of them strewn all across the trailer. Second, I accidentally cut the ear off of my nephew's stuffed Care Bear that night I snuck in for the monkey, but it was unexplicterably reattached the day after Deluxe Jesus arrived.
I don't know how my nephew's gonna survive the puberties though with Deluxe Jesus in his room. They say kids is healthy if they do some "body exploring" on their own when they start to get the puberties, but I don't see how that's gonna work with Deluxe Jesus in the room. Expecially since he's got them glowin green hands like the emperor in them Star Wars movies. I'd be afeared that the second I started gettin a Deluxe Chubby, Jesus would zap me with some Sith-like electric shock. That's enough to make a fella think a lot about baseball when he's in bed.
I thought I was bein smart buyin the Deluxe Jesus instead of just the regular Jesus. Now they'll probably come out with the Ultimate Jesus and we'll all have Jesus envy again. They can keep the whole marketing machine churnin out Jesus merchandise for years with things like Tickle-me-Jesus, Rebuke-me-Jesus, Malibu Jesus, Baby-Jesus-weeps-alot, Extreme Flavor Savior, The Passionfruit Bubblegum of the Christ, and the Crucifabulous Messiah and his Resurexellent host of angels. I think I'd rather collect the Star Wars merchandise.
』
(Move over, Ken!!) 『At first I admit I was skeptical when searching for a new friend for Barbie, but now I am delighted to have stumbled across such a masterpiece.
The distinction of this doll compared to Ken dolls is astounding. Deluxe Jesus stands a whopping three-quarters of an inch taller than that puny "Go to the Beach Ken" doll. DJ is to Abercrombie as Ken is to Baby Gap. When I stood them next to each other and aimed my personal desk fan at them, Deluxe Jesus stood firm while Ken was swept away. The sun-through-a-magnifying glass test put a hole right through Ken, but DJ was unaffected, as if his own father created the Sun.
The quality of this item is undisputable. It is waterproof and comes with fake bread loaves and fake fish (perfect for fake meals!!) Great for adults and kids alike. Deluxe Jesus: The new Ken. A must buy!!』
(Boring Fictonal Character. Poorly Made Toy) 『jesus is a quite boring character..(there's this guy, calls himself the messiah. says he's the son of god, says he's going to change the world..says he can cure the sick but he only cures the ones he happens to bump into. jesus christ! he wasn't at ALL original either come to find out through research jesus wasn't the only messiah back then in fact there was another fellow named Apollonius of Tyana, whom in the first century was claimed by his followers that he healed the sick, he raised the dead (which necromancy is always cool) he was able to walk through walls in buildings, that he was in fact persecuted for his religious beliefs, he was brought to trail by the local roman courts he was crucified and after he died we are told ascended to heaven and came back where his followers saw him. this is NOT the jesus story, this is Apollonius of Tyana. who the heck is that? Apollonius Christ! hearing that so many other messiahs is weird huh? do some research.. learning is FUNdamental Kids!
also the toy has no movment whatsoever, it breaks easy.. cause its made from cheap plastic.. the paint job is HORRIBLE.. even someone who is just learning to paint figures could give this guy a better paint job... hell there is solid color buddah toys out there with better paint jobs! sad sad sad.. save your money and wait for the satan prince of darkness figure with sacrificing action.. now thats a toy』
(My husband wanted this for years) 『Just as promised, no problems with transaction. This is for a collector so will be left in the box, so unable to really make a good assessment about durability.』
(Jesus Doll) 『My mother's a Bible scholar and she thought this was HILARIOUS! She loved it! Thanks so much!』 『The Jesus Action Figure, is truly a unique gift idea. Quite possibly the first action figure to have 'turns water into wine' as a selling point on the box, this wonderful Jesus character stands 5 1/4-inches tall and features glow-in-the-dark hands! He comes in an illustrated window box with 8 accessories: a jug, 2 fish, and 5 loaves of bread. Welcome him into your home today! The 2 miracles represented by this deluxe action figure show that he also sought to fill the basic needs of his friends and followers. The jug represents the miracle of turning water into wine. The fish and bread represent the miracle of transforming 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread into enough food to satisfy a hungry crowd of over 5,000 people.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (AWESOME FIGURE!!!) 『This guy is tall, tough and dangerous... and the chracter he represents is too! This figurine is heavy, durable, and very realistic. Great detail and wonderful collectible value. If you are debating on buying this or some other little toy, GET THIS ONE!!!』
(A great version of the God of Thunder!) 『I have to agree that this is an excellent incarnation of Thor!
I have a massive collection of Marvel Legends scale figures and this Thor sits among them.
The added height of the Marvel Select works very, very well, and he is about the same height, maybe just a tiny bit taller, than the BAF Ares.
I also happen to prefer his new duds to the original, more traditional, Thor costume.
Highly recommend to any fan of Marvel Legends, Marvel Select, Thor or Avengers.
Oh yea, it makes a great solid toy for kids too :-)』
(Marvel Select Thor.) 『i have to agree 100% with Elliot: this is far&away the best Thor action figure i have ever seen.
a lot of this has to do with that fact that the look is based upon the Olivier Coipel design, which i will admit i love, but it's really more about out-and-out quality, and this fellow's got that in spades.
quite a looker if left free of action upon your favorite bookshelf (like mine), but also tough (and just plain cool) enough to hold his own in a Legends vs. Selects brawl (like my buddy's, as his kids LOVE to play this game about twice an hour). : )
while the Select sculpt size is a wee bit bigger than the Legends scale, with Thor (much like the Hulk), dude, the difference actually makes the figure all the better. (i placed him alongside my Legends Avengers figures and the look is killer, man!)
in conclusion, this figure recently bumped Legends Colossus from my overall no. 1 spot, man, and that alone says it all, man!
a hall-of-famer, man.』
(Best Thor figure to date!!!) 『I just received this figure today and I have to say, it is the best Thor figure I have ever seen. Those of you who are digging Thor's latest costume design will love this figure. It is an exact replica of the comic counterpart. The articulation on this figure is excellent, with a good balance of sculpt and movement. The paint is perfect as well. I can't recommend this enough.』 『A Diamond Select Release! Taken from J. Michael Straczynski's new Thor series, this seven-inch scale figure features the mighty Thor sporting his new chain-mail costume design! With over 14 points of articulation and a deluxe floating Asgard base, not even Loki himself can stop this legendary god as he battles a new era of enemies! Sculpted by Gentle Giant, this is one hero you can't pass up!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The classic Thing from the comics, and a worthy addition to your superhero collection) 『This Thing action figure is part of the new Marvel Universe action figure line by Hasbro. The figures are 3-3/4" scale, making them smaller than previous Marvel Comics action figures.
Thing, member of the Fantastic Four, comes with no accessories or weapons. Just the figure, in all its rocky muscularness. The figure features articulation in its ankles, knees, hips, torso, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck. It's pretty posable and (because of the nature of the character) is bigger and less delicate than some other figures in the line. Thing seems to be made of a harder plastic than some other figures, but he should still withstand normal use and abuse.
Thing's design is based on his classic look from the comics, although they've chosen to give him blue pants and boots instead of his earlier blue shorts. Thing is a nice addition to any superhero collection.
Hasbro's new Marvel Universe action figure line and Mattel's new DC Universe: Infinite Heroes action figure line are both pretty cool. Both include your favorite superhero characters, the way they looked in the comics, with no gimmicky added features, at a standard 3-3/4" scale. Just the basics.
It's cool to have all the Marvel characters under one roof. Same size, same quality. (Ditto for DC characters.) You don't need to worry about Iron Man being twice as big as Spider-Man, etc. The new figures are all the same scale.
And it's cool that the figures base the designs off the comic books, rather than recent movie or stylized cartoon appearances. It gives the characters a timeless, definitive quality. And there's no weird "laser strike armor" or anything. Just the classic superheroes, plain and simple. I like that.
Also, the 3-3/4" scale is the scale of the popular Star Wars figures. So you could mix Marvel, DC, and Star Wars characters together into an awesome playtime adventure. 3-3/4" seems to be a popular standard for action figures. (Figures were bigger when I was younger.) But I'm fine with that.
These new action figures (both Marvel Universe and DC Universe: Infinite Heroes) seem to be made for kids. Some action figures (particularly previous Marvel Legends figures) are aimed more toward collectors, with intricate detail and a multitude of joints and moving parts. But these new figures are more kid-friendly. Ready to be played with, not just looked at. (The Marvel figures have an online promotion to enter codes and "become a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent".)
Collect your favorites and build your own superhero team!』 『Highly detailed and fully articulated. A great figure for collectors of Marvel Universe 3-3/4" scale action figures or Marvel Comic fans in general.』

A+ work truly! At first, I admit I was a little aprehensive about paying 45 bucks for a Jason doll, despite the fact, I've wanted one like this for a while...Finally, I broke down a bought'em and I'm glad I did! You will too, I promise! I wouldn't recommend playing with it on a daily basis however, more of just a showpiece really, A KICKA@# ONE AT THAT!』
(Great for collectors!) 『This item came fast. My boyfriend collects Friday the 13th toys and he loved it! Good size.』
(Jason) 『I ordered a total of 8 18 inch action figures of all the villans I could get my hands on and this Jason was one of them. I pulled him out of the box and noticed he had long hair that seemed really lame my old lady said the same thing so I got some scissors and cut it off it is only attached to the straps on his mask so no one will ever notice. And now he is almost perfect. This toy has a ton of detail from head to toe and he comes with another head and you can take his mask off. I love the length of his machette of all the action figures I bought this Jason is the most menacing looking. I have him posed with the his machette and right arm pointing straight out as if pointing at somone with it. He looks more muscular in real life than he does in the picture that makes him look more powerfull than the rest of my figures. It has been many years since I watched the Friday the 13th parts 7 and up so I am not familiar with the clothes he is wearing and the hair he has. But this toy is well worth more than what I paid. I did see another more classic looing 18 inch version of Jason with a cool looking jumpsuit but the figure was around 5-6 times the price of this one.』
(The new Jason) 『This massive figure of the new image of Jason Voorhees as portrayed by Derek Mears is dead on. It looks fantastic, is excellently sculpted, and appears identical to the character in Friday the 13th. Comes well packaged in a large box with clear plastic window. It comes with two replaceable heads, the early Sackhead and then the hockey mask wearing head. On the second head, you can remove the mask for the disfigured visage of Jason himself. Elbow articulation is rather useless (pivots but doesn't bend), wrists fully rotate but no movement in the waist or legs. Nonetheless, it's just amazing to look at and will top off you Jason display.』
(Static display) 『The 18"figure is for standing display only. It is poseable but not for handling on a daily basis.』 『For over 25 years, audiences have been shocked and terrified by the hockey-masked murderer of Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhees. While Momma Voorhees was the maniac in the original Friday the 13th, it's her undead son people have come to know and love. The star of 11 films, including the recent hit Freddy Vs. Jason, Mr. Voorhees has also spawned a spinoff TV series, comic books, novels, and a host of imitators. It's obvious that Jason is still as popular as ever.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great pose-pal for your Raiders Indy figure!) 『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), as my second main focus was on Raiders of the Lost Ark figures, which I'd bought none of yet. I ended up with a nice number of Raiders characters, including an Indy with a good paint job and a decent Marion also, plus the figure I'm going to talk about here, the Cairo Swordsman.
You may remember this guy from the famous scene in which Indy responds to flashy swordsmanship with a well placed bullet. If you managed to get the jacketless, sweaty Indy figure (I still need that one myself, he's become one of the tough ones to find), set him up with the Cairo Swordsman for a great display! As I mentioned before, these figures have great detail, but you definitely have to check out the paint jobs and find a good one. The same figure can look amazing or awful depending on how the face is painted. The Cairo Swordsman is not as articulated as some of the figures. He can still be posed well, but with the stiff plastic of his robe, there was little point in making his knees bend, so they simply don't, nor do his ankles. He is also rather shy in the accessories department, as he only comes with his sword and secret artifact. Each figure comes with a different artifact in a paper crate, though they seem to be sized for 6 inch action figures like the one the Disney theme parks recently started carrying.
Regardless, the Cairo Swordsman is a great Indy villain figure to add to your collection. He's not a major character, but he's from one of the most memorable scenes and is really nicely sculpted here. A good choice for play or display as opposition to the greatest movie hero of all time! 』 『After defeating a pack of local thugs, Indy encounters his most sword-savvy foe yet: the Cairo Swordsman. Wielding a heavy scimitar sword and an over-confident grin, the Cairo Swordsman appears from behind a crowd in a thronging marketplace. Despite his razor-sharp skills, he is easily dispatched and only briefly delays Indy's frantic search for Marion.
Add to the adventure and your collection with this sinister-looking Cairo Swordsman figure! Challenge this sword-wielding enemy to a duel and swipe the hidden relic in the process. Dressed in a long, black robe and head wrap, this posable figure is ready for a sword-swinging showdown. And only you can decide who will win! Recreate exciting and memorable scenes from the classic Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Figure comes with a weapon and hidden relic accessories. Figure measures 3.75"H.』
