Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Nice nostalgic toy) 『These are great toys and nice combo pack with different countries. I wish I had them when I was a kid.』
(WWII Action Figures.) 『My Grandson loves playing with Army Men and this set is perfect for him. He pits them all against each other on four "sides" American against the British against the Germans against the Japanese. He's not old enough to know there was only 2 "sides". Plays with them for hours and makes all the "war sounds"
Nothing to do with the product but shipping was super fast and we received them before Christmas even though the estimated delivery time was December 31st.』
(Great Fun!) 『Purchased this as a gift for brothers aged 8 and 5. They are thrilled with the sheer number of soldiers, and the four armies. They spend hours at a time playing with them. It's one of the few toys that levels their ages well enough for sustained play. I'd recommend it highly.』
(My boys like this toy - what more is there to say?) 『Observations: 1. Quality and Durability - having purchased various bags of garage-sale "army guys" I can honestly say that these are very nice. The bases are wide enough that they stand up well even on berber carpet. The plastic is fairly thick and will not break under normal use. Of course if they get stomped on a concrete floor - that's a different story. 2. My kids really like the variety - 4 different armys in one container. 3. Kids interest - My 3 1/2-year old girl isn't interested. She likes Barbie. My 3 boys (ages 3 1/2, 5, and 10) play with these toys a lot. The 3 1/2 and 5 year old boys play (literally!) for hours setting up battles. My 10-year old boy will even steal a few every now and then for a skirmish here and there. 4. Parent appeal - my wife and I love these toys. No batteries. Durable. Reasonably priced. Easy to store. 』
(What Boy wouldn't love) 『My boys love them, not the highest detail, but hello you are looking at Green Army Guys.... and there's enough of them that when one gets wrecked or covered in gum, they won't notice when it disappears.』 『Great set of Plastic Army Men in 4 colors with lots of different WW2 figures with over 40 poses. American GI's in Green, British Commandos in Yellow, German in Gray, Japanese in Light Green. Each army has it's own 4-1/2 inch tall flag. Nice quality and detail.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (COG SOLDIER) 『He is cool, he is not as posable as they show in the picture but he looks pretty awesome setup with the other gears figures.』
(Best Gears Figure EVER!!!) 『This toy is simply amazing I have had it for a month now and he hasent broken and he is still fun, I love the new added articulation in his legs and the peg holes in his back now I can pose him better and not have to worry about lossing his other gun. Even after countless usses he is still looking like he did when he came out of the box. I wasnet sure if I was going to buy him at first because I had recently bought the series 2 Marcus Fenix and the second he come out of the box both his arms fell off, but not this figure, it is the best Gears of War figure you can buy anywere up to this day. This toy is a MUST buy if you like Gears of War.』 『Joining Hoffman is an all new version of the COG Soldier with a different helmet and new articulation. Both figures come with unique weaponry.』

(Hard to rate since it was a gift for a 13 year old girl) 『I bought this as a gag Christmas gift for my 13 year old niece. She isn't a Twilight fanatic, but she is reading the series and being 13...a girl...well... you know how it is. She won't wear the cheesy clothing(Team Edward vs. Jacob) and accessories so this was an ideal gift for someone like her. She can say she has an Edward doll. So, it was hard to give it an accurate rating based on stars. I ended up giving it 4 stars overall since I got enjoyment out of her reaction when she opened it up. I shall quote: "OH my GOD!" I think she liked it. It is still in the box(and most likely always will be) so durability is hard to say. It's an action figure doll. I think out of all the "Edward" dolls out there it looked the most like him to me. For the price, it was a good buy and something she will keep and maybe in a few decades she will let her kids play with it.』
(Mother of Edward Crazed Pre-Teen) 『I always use these reviews when I shop for items, so I thought I would take a second and do this.....I bought this for my 12 year old daughter, who is in "love" with the character Edward!! She loves it! She has a lot of New Moon and Twilight items and I think this is her favorite!!』
(Edward Cullen is hot) 『I am a die hard Edward Cullen fan and this action figure is a nice piece if you enjoy collecting Edward or Twilight items. It doesn't really resemble Edward as much as I would like, but is a nice buy for the collector or fan.』 『Add your favorite Twilight Saga: New Moon character to your collection. Each figure stands about 7 inches tall and is a highly-articulated and detailed movie-accurate collectible. Series 1 includes Edward, Bella, Jacob and Alice.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Nicely detailed figure, poorly manufactured) 『I was very impressed with the quality of NECA's Big Daddy figure so I bought the Big Sister figure with high hopes. While the detail is very good, the quality and durability of the figure is not. Right after opening the package, the Big Sister's left arm just fell off. The forearm is just attached to the upper arm/body like a peg. It does not appear to even be glued together, and it's loose, which is probably why the arm fell off in the first place. Why not just manufacture one solid arm, and attach it to the body? The quality seems to be lacking compared to the Big Daddy figure. I don't regret my purchase, but I did have higher expectations.』 『Bioshock 2 Big Sister NIP Action Figure from the 2010 toy series. Big Sisters are Raptures fiercest predators. Despite being covered in armor they possess deadly agility and can strike from anywhere. Charged with protecting Little Sisters, Big Sisters keep an eye on all of the ADAM in Rapture and punish anyone that disrupts the balance. Able to throw objects telekinetically, leap off walls for powerful melee blows, throw fireballs, execute devastating charge attacks and even extract ADAM directly from living Splicers, Big Sisters are the worst nightmare of anyone unlucky enough to draw their ire. Big Sister is 7'-plus proportion and detail. She has a removable backpack with a cage basket just the right size for capturing a Little Sister and ball joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees ankles and ab crunch.』

(Transformer Movie 2 Deluxe BumbleBee Figure) 『This is the only time I have been disappointed with a purchase. I expected a larger toy as I had returned the same toy purchased locally because it was too small. Locally I paid $8 less. There were so many of what seemed to be the same toy, the purchase experience was very exhausting. A more clear description would have been helpful (size...etc).
Otherwise, my using Amazon for purchases has been nothing but world class. It amazes me how they can process orders so quickly. Their customer service is unparalleled.

(Do people know how to read????) 『Most of the reviews from parents ive read here start with this phrase "my 4 y/o son, my 4.5y/o son...." did you know that this toy is for 5 and ups? Seriously, what is wrong with America? Give them some challenge and they will throw it at you. Thats what their kids need.』
(Cheap Plastic Junk) 『Before I start, I read the instructions. And followed them as best I could. But the toy that I got is worthless. The plastic joints all came apart before step 4. The rotating parts don't fully rotate. There have to be better Transformer toys out there, please don't buy this one.』
(Looks cool, but too complicated/delicate for younger kids.) 『I do admire the fact that it a bit more realistic than the older Transformers, but I was hoping for something a bit more solid for my son. Unless you have a really conscientious kid or are an adult, I don't think this is a very good toy... Small parts that snap off on purpose are asking to get lost, and although nothing has broken yet, I am not confident this will last long.』 『Having chosen to stay with Sam after the end of the battle for the AllSpark, BUMBLEBEE made arrangements to stay close to him at all times. Its been a pretty good deal. He gets regular detailing, and as much high-grade fuel as he needs. Plus, he gets to spend time with Sam and Mikaela. His vocal processors still arent fully up to snuff, but he and his friends communicate just fine. If he ever misses the action of battle, he can always give IRONHIDE a call and go DECEPTICON hunting. Get ready to roll out with this AUTOBOT ally! This detailed BUMBLEBEE figure unleashes a launching pulse missile in robot mode and converts to a cool, Camaro concept car in vehicle mode! The battle is on and this bright yellow warrior is ready are you?』

(Review) 『The Keith figure is fine. At first I thought it didn't look like him at all. But I have seen photos from the '70s where you can see the resemblance. The biggest flaw is that I find it impossible to get it to stand up by itself. I have it leaning against the wall.』 『
You can start him up but he'll never stop!
Action figure of Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones rock band.
Magnificent detail, plus accessories. He'll make any grown Stones collector cry!
You can start him up but he'll never stop! This Keith Richards Action Figure captures him as he appeared during the band's heyday in the 1970s. With accessories like microphones and guitars, he stands 7-inches tall and comes with display base. No true fan of The Rolling Stones will want to miss this magnificent collectible! Bursting onto the scene in the 1960s in the wake of the British Invasion, and redefining rock 'n' roll with a healthy dose of rhythm and blues, The Rolling Stones became one of the biggest bands of all time, due in no small part to the musicianship and creativity of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Mick, the manic stage presence, and Keith, the steady guitarist who anchored the band, have gone down as true rock gods.』

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.』
