Marvel Universe Black Widow

This review totally slipped past me somehow.  I thought I had posted this review a while ago. Browsing though my photos, and then my blog, I noticed that I had not reviewed this figure even though I had the photos for over six months now.  

I see Black Widow going for over $20 now on websites and I do not think that is worth it for such a small toy.  She sports the old standard Marvel Universe female body and comes with minimal accessories so try not to pay too much for her unless you have a super fan.  I think I got her via Amazon for around $11 because I joined the Marvel Universe game late.

Transformers Generations Warpath

I'm really starting to lag with this.   With the exception of Goku I'm only on my toys I got from Dec/Jan.   Sad faced.  I really like toys but I'm just running out of room and I've had to put the majority of my toys into storage.  Mainly because I don't have a lot of room like my old place and because I don't wanna keep on dusting my toys.    

Anywho after a bunch of rumbling here is Warpath.      It's an amazing Transformer I got back in January and despite the simple engineering Warpath is really fun to play with.   He can pose very well for a Transformer and his transformation from robot to tank is really simple.

Figure-Rise Master Grade Goku

*Warning*  This one is going to be very picture heavy!

Thanks to my lovely girlfriend she send me this model kid as part of my birthday present!  I've enjoyed Dragonball Z for a long time and it is one of my favorite franchises out there.   I've never put together something larger than a High Grade Gundam so I was a little worried I would mess this up.   I did have an amazing time putting it together though.   It's a ton of fun!

Final Fantasy X Play Arts Rikku

Whew I haven't posted on here in a while.    They changed the blogger set up so I'm a little confused.  

Anywho  I picked this up during the Christmas season for a good bit of money.   Something I normally wouldn't spend on a toy but I saw her going for fifty bucks on Amazon,  something I couldn't pass up at the time.   Rikku normally goes for close to a hundred dollars so I'm hoping this isn't a fake and that I got a lucky break on finding her.  

It's actually a smaller box than the Play Arts I have.

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.
