Transformers Reveal the Shield Wreckgar

This review, like Jazz, is a little late.  Mainly due to the fact I never saw this guy in stores ever.   When I saw this on Amazon for $10 I jumped on it and bought two so this guy could have something to ride on.  However I haven't opened it yet to show off a picture.   I hear you can also buy this guy for $5 around the country and I'm jealous.  After a quick glance around the price for Wreck-gar has gone back up to around $20.   

The only downside to this figure is transforming him back into a vehicle can get a bit tricky trying to get all the panels to line up flush.

Transformers Reveal the Shield Jazz

I'm a little late to the game reviewing this but I didn't pick this guy up until I got him for $9.99 on Amazon.com.   I've read about Jazz going for almost half the price at some Rosses/Walmarts/etc but I've personally only seen one of these guys over here in the Bay Area and I bought it quickstyle for my friend.  Now I have a  Jazz of my own and I think he is awesome!   The Transformers: Reveal the Shield line is really impressive to me.  Comparing this line to the older Classics/Universe/Generations line the engineering for each wave has really improved.

Marvel Universe X-23 Review

I actually have a bunch of toys I haven't opened yet and I'm kind of lagging on this blog.  I don't think I'm going to buy anymore humanoid American toys for a while.  I've become spoiled by Japanese toys!   I think I will only collect more X-Men to build up a team similar to what I'm doing for my DC figures and my Justice Lanterns.  

Ignore the price tag.  My friend actually picked this up for me for about $4.00 though a deal this scalper had.   With the possibility of the newer female Marvel Universe bodies I say pick up X-23 even if she is missing her feet claws.

S.H.Figuarts Nami Review

I'm not a One Piece fan but the Figuarts of Nami is pretty awesome.  I feel this way because of the extra faces she comes with!  I really like the screaming angry face.  If you can buy Nami for less than $20 then get it!  The faces alone almost make this toy worth $20+
