Superman Man of Steel Action Figure



Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters Action Figure


Superman Man of Steel Action Figure
The Superman Man of Steel action figure is, by and large, a very good figure. The first thing you will notice is how heavy it is. The whole figure is cast in a very durable rubber like plastic that should stand up to play. The paint application is done very well, with not a hint of bleeding or slop anywhere, and the overall mold is nicely detailed and rich in texture. Please take note that the cape is not cloth, but rather a sizeable, molded, piece of plastic. The cape is flexible, but not in any way pose able. The figure is pretty much the same size as the Dark Knight and Green Lantern Movie Master figures, and would fit nicely in with that line. It's nicely proportioned and not overly muscle bound like other Superman action figures.

As far as articulation goes? The head is on a ball joint but does not tilt up far enough so as to be put into a flying pose. The shoulders are ball jointed as well, with a mid-bicep swivel and single joint elbow. Both wrists rotate but lack up and down articulation. The is a swivel joint at the waist, and the hips are the type of joint anyone who collected DC Universe or other Movie Masters should be familiar with - meaning it's a peg joint which offers up and down rotation, but they have a flange which provides the legs to be swung out wide. There is a mid-level thigh swivel joint and both ankles can go up and down.

This is a wonderful Superman Man of Steel action figure and looks like the actor who played Superman in the movie "Man of Steel". The figure has great articulation and comes with a display stand with Superman's "S" chest emblem on it. This would be great for a comic book or action figure collector or it would make a good action figure toy for a child (over 3 yrs. old) to play with. I recommend this product.

Transformers Boulder The Constructionbot Figure



Transformers Boulder the Construction-Bot Figure


Transformers Boulder the Construction-Bot Figure
The traditional Transformers character converts easily for the youngest kids. It just takes one easy step for your little one to convert this heroic Boulder the Construction-Bot figure from robot to bulldozer mode and back! He comes with a rescue drill that attaches to the dozer in vehicle mode. No matter what dangers await, this Transformers Boulder the Construction-Bot figure is ready to be a hero with your little hero! Boulder the Construction-Bot figure easily converts from robot mode to vehicle mode and back again! Bulldozer mode! Robot figure holds his rescue drill! Rescue hook attaches to the bulldozer in vehicle mode.

I admit I was a bit skeptical at first about Transformers Boulder the Construction-Bot figure. He seemed like the least transformer-ish of all the Rescue Bots. As you can see from the picture, he just kind of stands there stiff-like. But I got to say, something about the size and scale of the toy makes for an excellent transformation. It’s easy, too. Might be the smoothest, easiest of all transformations, and that's an important part of the equation if your Rescue Bot fan is prone to frustration. Overall, it’s a very handsome, rugged Rescue Bot.

My four year old son loves the Transformers Boulder the Construction-Bot figure and loves this toy. This is super simple for him to transform from a vehicle to a bot. It's well made and sturdy. He has been playing with his Boulder the Construction-Bot figure constantly for months and they are all still in great condition. I highly recommend.

Batman The Dark Knight Rises Figure



Batman The Dark Knight Rises Figure Movie Masters Collector


Batman The Dark Knight Rises Figure
Batman The Dark Knight Rises Figure Movie Masters Collector is based on the hit Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. The Dark Knight Rises comes to life with Movie Masters figures, sculpted with superior accuracy and details inspired by the film. Eight of the movie’s biggest characters have been meticulously crafted to capture and create fully articulated figures in 6" scale. Ready to be the biggest star in any fan's collection, each figure includes a Collect & Connect piece that can be combined with other pieces to create a light-up and wall-projectable Bat Signal! Each figure will be sold separately; purchase eight collectable figures throughout the year to complete the Bat Signal.

If you don't own any Batman action figures, this is an excellent first figure to own. Better than any movie masters version and up there with many other versions such as the 10 wave imperex, arkham asylum, and others as the best Batman action figures. It is a bit smaller than the others, but Batman the Dark Knight Rises Figure version is awesome. This is an excellent action figure for kids. It is durable, and it has some of the best articulation, if not the best.

For the movie fans, I think that this is one is the most accurate Batman The Dark Knight Rises Figure I have ever seen, getting the bat signal seems like a bad idea since you will have to buy other action figures that are not as cool as this one.
