Ensign Pavel Chekov
Star Trek - Transporter Series (Playmates) - Basic Series
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
The Mummy Returns was one of the most exciting movies I have ever seen. The first "Mummy" toyline really didn't impress me at all, but the second one was definentley a big improvement. I got my hands on this one and I thought you should all hear about it. The Anubis Warrior is about 6 inches tall and looks awesome. The Anubis Warrior is half-man, half-Egyptian hound. He comes with a big battle-axe. The Warrior is a sandy brown color. He is in a screaming position. This is agreat figure that gets 5 stars. Adios....[See More]

Skinner
Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Evil Raiders
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
Let me start off by saying we need just 1 more reviewer to enter the review contest in order for thier to be prizes! C'mon people! Anyway, lets get down to business. I am reviewing the highly underrated Skinner action figure. Kenner did a great job with the "Evil Raiders" line. Skinner is one of my personal favorites. Skinner appears to be about 60 years old. He's bold and has a white mustache and beard. He comes with a rifle, baby dino, and an orange cast for his arm. Skinner is quite muscular, as is buddy, Dr. Snare( by the way, I have a review Dr. Snare if your are interested.). Simply put, Skinner is a great action figure to play with or collect....[See More]

Sharku & Warg Beast
Lord of the Rings - Two Towers (Toy Biz) - Deluxe Horse & Riders
Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro
Like it or not, The Two Towers made one of the highest grossing toyline. This series covered all, and I mean all, characters featured in the film. There were also deluxe beast and rider sets. I am reviewing Shakru and Warg Beast. This set, like all the others, is very well detailed. Shakru has a lot of scars on his face and he just looks nasty. He has knife slashing and comes with a cool knife. The only problem is that is legs are too rubbery, but everything else is perfect. The Warg Beast looks extremeley real. He stands high and has a nasty look on his face. He's fairly posable and makes great dioramas, if your in to that stuff. Anyway, I love this set and it gets 4.5 stars. Gracias. ...[See More]

Raptor Attack
Jurassic Park III (Hasbro) - Playsets
Rated 3.00 stars by El Bandelerro
Jurassic Park 3 was a great movie. Even though the movie was a great success, the toyline never really caught up. This is a review of the Raptor Attack Playset. This one does bring back memories of the Command Compound, but can't hold a candle to it. The fence pieces are loose and don't hold as well. It comes with a green repaint of one of the other JP3 raptor ( 5 stars for the raptor. It rocks!), an repaint of the raptor chase Alan Grant, and a net laucher on stilts. The fence pieces are gray and there is the Jurassic Park gate, like in the first movie. Although it has its flaws, it makes pretty good dioramas. As a result of its flimsiness, the Raptor Attack Playset gets 3 stars. ...[See More]

Streets of Cairo
Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark (Kenner) - Accessories
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
No one could have fourseen the huge success that followed the first Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Raiders of the Lost Ark made a really top-notch toyline. This toyline featured all of the characters and some extras. There were also a few playsets. Among these, was my favorite, the Streets of Cairo Playset. This one featured fruit stands, The Monkey man, monkey, baskets, Miriam, and much, much more! This set is so cool. There's nothing like the feeling you get, throwing baddies into large fruit stands. I love recreating battles from Indiana Jones. This set is also great for playing Once Upon a Time in Mexico with your custom action figures. Anyway, this set kicks some serious butt and that is why it gets 5 stars. Adios amigos ...[See More]

Master Chief (Blue)
Halo (Joyride Studios) - Series 3
Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro
Based on the smash hit xbox videogame, the Halo toy series is a definate seller for video game and action figure enthusiasts, all over the world. The Master Chief is back and more lethal than ever. The Master Chief has 16 points of articulation. I bought mine in blue, but the chief is available in many other colors. He looks just like does in the videogame and has a gold visor. The Blue Master Chief also comes with a Covenant flamethrower and marine pistol. They look great and fit well in hand. This toy is great,it gets 4.5 stars....[See More]

Canyon T-Rex
Jurassic Park III (Hasbro) - CamoXtreme Ultra Dinosaur
Rated 4.00 stars by El Bandelerro
After the original Jurassic Park 3 toyline. Hasbro suprised us with a new and even cooler line. This one, named the Camo-x-treme series, featured a bunch of new brightly and cleverly colord repaints that caught everyone's eyes. The Canyon Rex is just awesome. Even though it's a repaint, it's the best one I've ever seen. Rexy is a repaint of the JP 3 Deluxe T-Rex. When I first saw this one I literally said, "Wow". the first coat is a whitish gray. Painted over that is some black stripes in orange lining. Rexy features the same roar and stomp feature as the original. Thats pretty much it for this one. Although cool, it's just a repaint, and that's why it gets 4 stars. ...[See More]

Berserker Uruk-Hai
Lord of the Rings - Two Towers (Toy Biz) - Series 5
Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro
Get ready to go berserk! The Berserker action figure looks so real. the Two Towers toyline really did thier job on this one. The berserker bears the white hands of Saruman on his helmet and body. The body is dark red with black spots and bears the white hands. He wears gloves made of iron. The berserker is buff and muscely. He wears sandals and iron armour over waist that goes down the knees. He also comes with a big sword/pick axe hybrid. It looks cool, but the sword is too flexible doesen't fit in the hand well. This is a good, solid figure but I can't give it 5 stars due to the bendy sword. Definitley 4.5 stars. ...[See More]

Dino-Snare Dirtbike with Carter
Jurassic Park - Lost World (Kenner) - Vehicle / Figure Packs
Rated 4.00 stars by El Bandelerro
The Dino Snare Dirtbike is a really great figure. Its a cool figure, cool vehicle and a nasty looking machine gun. First off, let me say the dirtbike is awesome. I love the color. The seat is red with olive green stripes and the rest of the dirtbike is pretty much olive green. The wheels are sand brown and rotate very nicely. In the front end of the bike is an extendable lasso pole(snare). As you extend the pole the lasso gets smaller. When you put a little pressure on the fender the bike breaks in half to resemble dino damage! I give the Dino Snare Dirtbike 4 stars because I love the color and damage action. I think it is just a little bit delicate. Now to Carter action figure. Although the sculpt looks nothing like the Mexican guy in the movie. He's wearing dino skin armour over a...[See More]

Isengard Orc (with Axe)
Lord of the Rings - Trilogy (Toy Biz) - Two Towers - Series 3
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
The Lord of the Rings trilogy were probably the highest grossing films ever to hit planet earth. With these novies came a toyline larger than life. Many action figures were made for this line but the set I am reviewing is my favorite. The Heroes of Middle Earth Set comes with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli and 15 weopons between them! Now let's get down to business. Aragorn- this is pretty much the Helm's Deep action figure, only better! Aragorn basicly wears what he wore in the battle at Helm's Deep- a long leather vest over chainmail armour. Aragorn wheres his ring and comes with the Narsil and dagger. Everything is fine except for the drunken look on his face. He also has sword slashing action! Still, I give him 5 stars. Legolas- The Elven archer comes with a sword, a bow, 5 arrows,...[See More]
