Be it a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away or right here at home in the 21st century, Mr. Potato Head never fails to reinvent himself. For generations this spectacular spud has wowed us all with his ability to keep up with the times. Now he throws us all for a loop once again to reveal that even he has a Dark Side, taking up the role of the most menacing movie villains of all times: Darth Vader. Donning the trademark black helmet, mask and cape, our favorite tuber wields the infamous red lightsaber to become his own Darth Tater. Of course you’ll still find all the classic accessories like the googly eyes, red nose, and silly tongue we’ve come to love but now with an added twist of Star Wars. As always, all the pieces still fit away inside his body for easy storage.--Chip Quinn ...

I LOVE DARTH TATER!
This is the coolest thing ever!He sits on my desk and watches me with those glaring eyes.He sometimes uses the force to manipulate me.Someone please help me!You are my only hope!

Ways to enjoy Darth Tater
Here are some ways to enjoy Darth Tater:

Darth Tater Tots

Au Gratin Darth Tater

Mashed Darth Taters

French Fried Darth Taters

Darth Tater Pancakes

With a shot or three of gin

On a platter of raw veggies, with dip, and covered in sesame seeds

Cut out his insides and fill it with watermelon balls

With Darth Cheeseburgers and Darth Milkshakes

Not at all--Darth Tater is a force to be reckoned with.Get it?Force.Ha!I kill me.(That one was written by ALF)

Luke - Use the Forks !!!
I'd say I'm embarrassed to tell you how many stores I went to looking for this and how many trips it took me to said stores. But I'm not.

Somewhere somone was saying "This is not the toy you want" .... but I ignored that Obi-Wan-ism and prevailed. Unfortunately I've been on the 'wait list' here @ amazon for months....and no luck (not their fault - Hasbro isn't saturating the market I guess). I refused to pay $20 and up on ebay for a less than $7 toy.

But it's not a toy.It proudly sits on my desk at work for all to admire, "oooh and aaah" over and laugh about. And they do.

I could care less about educational value or durability.It sits on my desk!!!!

(and yes, I bought two!...one to keep in the original packaging.)

With just the donning of this helmet you too may command the powers of the Dark Side! Or, at least, you’ll take on the role of the most notorious scourge the Jedi have ever known: Darth Vader. Once you’ve put on this perfect replica of Vader’s trademark mask and chest plate you’ll find yourself in command of not just his tell-tale breathing and five actual movie quotes but also the ability to speak in Darth Vader’s menacing voice. The helmet itself is constructed of hard plastic and can be adjusted to comfortably fit children to young adults (though older adults may be unable to get the mask on). The attached chest plate lets you command the sound effects with just the touch of a button. This unit not only comes with full instructions but also batteries so you’re ready to go right out of the box. In no time you'll be striking fear into the hearts of do-gooders everywhere! --Chip Quinn ...

A good concept, but disappointing...
Like most big "kids" who saw the original Star Wars in the theatre, I looked forward to this mask. I already have a non-functional plastic Vader mask, but this seemed to go several steps further.

Just a warning for other adults who might want to buy this for nostalgia's sake: it may look big and claim to be adjustable, but it's really not sized for adults. The black top piece is too short and the masks looks too small when worn. The voice changer is truly useless...it's nothing more than a pitch changer that works on a slight delay. I doubt even James Earl Jones himself would sound good using this thing (well, okay, I take that back, but hopefully you see my point). The breathing is too fast and too short, and must be activated by you pressing a button on the control box (which, by the way, hangs too high in your chest and is not adjustable). That sort of ruins the effect if you're using this mask as part of a costume. I would have liked to see a switch that starts the breathing independantly and keeps playing it until you sto; it.

The movie phrases are poorly edited and inconsistent in quality. This mask was a good idea, but it fell far short of its potential. I'm either going to return it or give it to my nephew.

good but not good
It was weird and very not dureble it kept falling off my head. its still kool though.

Awesome, but not perfect.
A friend of mine and i bougth the voice changer for his darth vader costume, and we think is really fun to use,the sounds are amazing.We are satisfied, the vision trough the eyes is very good, the are a lot of holes for breathing, it doesn't weigth that much so is easy to wear.
But we have to be honest, there are some few flaws. First, as the toy ismade for kids, it doesn't cover the neck and back of an adult head.
The security sistem of the top of the helmet is weak, so it has to be worn too carefully so it doesn't fall of.
the front chest plate cannot be removed, it doesn't have a lock so you can take it of, and the strips are short. there is no way to enlarge them.

Fully equipped for the uber rescue mission, this souped-up spacecraft doubles as a jet and a Rescue Heroes command center. The top of the jet flips open to reveal an electronic screen and an operations deck, where Keytron, a robot, plugs into the control board to relay missions to the team. Included are two tethered backpacks which, as Rescue Heroes fans know, allow the action figures to communicate. What's more, the jet itself transforms into a giant robot, with a deployable space pod as the head and a tank-like tough-terrain vehicle down below. This is a sturdy, sizable toy that those who enjoy Rescue Heroes ought to love, and it contains plenty of moving parts. Also included is a C.D. Moon action figure in a red space suit. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

i love this toy!
hi, im 10 years old and i really like this toy! there are so many diffrent things it can do, it is well worth the money!!! there is a little vehicle thing that a rescue hero can ride on, the front of the ship can be used as a spacepod (the ship is NOT a good flying toy but the space pod is simple to fly),the front and the vehicle can be made into a giant robot,the top can be made into a hang glider, and one of my favorite parts: IT HAS A COMMAND CENTER WHERE THE RESCUE HEROES REALLY INTERACT WITH EACHOTHER!!!! I have two mission select robots with thing i call "backpacks" and their names are matt medic and gil gripper. they are also compatible with the command center. i also have a cool robot called fire stomper and billy blazes. NOTE (the fire stomper comes with billy blazes and neither are compatible with the command center but fire stomper can move in a neat way!) then i have the robot that came with the ship.

in my opinion out of all the people i have billy is the best :)

you may be wondering why a 10 yr old is playing with this but i know a 12 year old and many other 10 and 11 yr. olds with this toy. i don't play with it like let's go put out the fire, or something, i play with it like the robots are attacking and stuff, very fun toy! i totally recommened this toy and these other toys below:

rescue heroes hyper jet
Gil gripper (with mission select backpack)
Matt medic (with mission select backpack)
Billy blazes and fire stomper
rescue heroes mission car
geotrax Tracktown Railway
geotrax Fire station
geotrax remote controlled fire truck
spiderman and friends super hero playset
spiderman and friends wolverine with motorcycle
imaginex castle (and alot of knights...i have like 20)
imaginex dragon
imaginex deluxe pirate ship
imaginex ghost raider
imaginex glow in the dark shark
animal planets big bucket o' dinosaurs


they aren't exact names but they are some of the alot toys i have here at home. I reccomend them ALL!!!!!!!

very disapointed
This was the only toy my son requested from Santa and what a letdown. I think that Fisher Proce rushed it for the holiday season because it does not compare to the quality of the other toys. It falls apart and really does not do much for the size or promise of the ads. I hate this hunk of junk that now takes up a lot of space and I have learned my lesson for next year.

Wonderful toy for any Star Wars fan's child!
Being a Star Wars Fan from growing up watching the Original Trilogy I wanted to pass on the joy of Star Wars to my 2 year old son, which in turn has become quite a fan himself (after watching my Trilogy Collection on DVD)!I felt the 3.75" action figures would be too fragile and full of small parts (pistols, lightsabers, gadgets) for such a small child.Enter Star Wars Galactic Heroes.These little figures are great.They're made out of a rubber like material which withstands all the abuse any small child can dish out and then some.Being a Star Wars Fan from growing up watching the Original Trilogy I wanted to pass on the joy of Star Wars to my 2 year old son, which in turn has become quite a fan himself (after watching my Trilogy Collection on DVD)!I felt the 3.75" action figures would be too fragile and full of small parts (pistols, lightsabers, gadgets) for such a small child.Enter Star Wars Galactic Heroes.These little figures are great.They're made out of a rubber like material which withstands all the abuse any small child can dish out and then some.The only flaw I can find is that the loading latch falls out quite often after a while and in turn is sensible to break.But this thing has been dropped over and over for the past 6 months and looks just as it did the first day we got it.

But the truly amazing thing is the likeness the Millennium Falcon has to the OTC spaceship.It's full of wonderful things to do:realistic sounds from the movie (engine going to lightspeed, laser cannons and character sound bite: C3PO, R2D2 and Chewbacca) moving cannons; rotating radar, opening cockpit to place Han Solo into, and more.The educational value from my point of view is how it trains a two or three year old child's fine motor skills;They have to open the back of the Falcon and press a button to fix it's hyperdrive and they have to manipulate all the moving parts. It's a lot of fun for kids and adults as well.We spend hours recreating scenes from the movies and he loves it.

This toy has brought my son and I closer in this fantasy world of Star Wars!!The Millenium Falcon is made out of high impact ABS which can take even more punishment than the figurines.The movable pieces come loose when its dropped from great heights which prevents them from breaking. The only flaw I can find is that the loading latch falls out quite often and after a while becomes likely to break.But this thing has been dropped over and over for the past 6 months and looks just as it did the first day we got it.

A bit of tough love can't hurt this toy.
My son got this a few months before his third birthday (xmas present). He is a bit rough with his toys at times, and this has survived his 'tough love.'He really enjoys the little figures (since then we've gotten him more), and plays with them on their own.The Millennium Falcon has given him a bit of fustration since the guys can't go easily up the ramp, and it tend to pop out as a result of the fustration.I do however greatly appreciate the fact that the pieces 'pop off' instead of breaking off in the hands of a fustrated 3 year old. They are also easy to put back on. His 5 1/2 year old sister likes playing with it as well, and the adults get a kick out of it.If the child you're thinking of getting this for is an extremely rough kid, I'd hold off on it.I'd definately recommend the little figures though.

very cool toy with a poor design
first of all, don't buy this toy for a child under five. it falls apart easily and small pieces could break off.it's a cool star wars action set, but the pod falls off and the entrance hatch broke off in the first month. the chubby guys that are included couldn;t fit up the ramp anway. chewie is adorable. keep out of reach of fellow star wars fans who might klepto it. ...

Stand in awe as Hasbro adds the most powerful villain known to Transformers to the Energon Supreme series; the planet devouring Unicron! With just a glance at this goliath you can already see the added improvements from the old Armada version. The new vibrant colors add the right amount of sci-fi menace to Unicron's look, complimented with glowing red eyes and hands (batteries are included). In robot form you’ll find he’s simply huge with a range of motion almost unheard of in Transformers. Just about everywhere on him, from his chest to his legs, you’ll find an arsenal of rockets ready to fire. With the help of the Mini-Con Dead-End figure (also included) you can even make that happen. Once transformed into planet mode you’ll find he can easily hold up to 27 individual Mini-Cons at once. The instructions are detailed perfectly so you’ll have no problems with his transformations.--Chip Quinn ... Read more

Chaos Bringer
Well if your a fan of Unicron this guy's for you,very well detailed,posiable, and just kool to look at, One best transformers i ever purchased

A New Unicron?
What is the difference? So it a cooler looking Versian than the armada. They do everything the same way[ the only part I like is the big missle and all the capartments!]. If you want to make a armada cooler paint it! Well thats all I got to say.

Be careful!
A terrific Generation 1 (or any generation) Transformers toy.this is a black-version of the previously issued Orange Armada toy, with the exception that this appears to be black and has a missile launcher from the chest.Be careful though, TOYS R' US seems to have gotten a whole bunch of their ENERGON UNICRON boxes mis-packed with the ORANGE ARMADA UNICRON.other than the mis-packing (which may or may not prove collectible in the long run), this black version is generally produced in much lower quantities than the first orange version.A MUST BUY!!! ...

Cons and Pros
While a good set for chasing down hard to find figures like Green Goblin (which is why I wanted this set) or Electro. The Figures are good if you don't plan to take it out of the box. But if you try to play around with the articulation you'll find they're not as durable as it could be.

Green Goblin for one has both his arms badly supported that if you movie it too much from the torso the 1 thin piece of plastic that's supporting both arms would come loose.

I had a problem again with the durability of Spider-Man. Usually when you buy a new action figure you have to literally break into it cause most of these Marvel Legends figures have really stiff joints that you hav to turn and you'll feel a click inorder to loosen it and pose it. Well, everything was fine till one of the arms refused to rotate and and instead the arm tore off. I had to reconnect it by making a small hole between the forearm and upper part of the arm and using the metal part of a push-pun to reconnect it.

Another con is not all the figures are fully articulate like most of the Marvel Legends figures are like Doc Ock has the least beside the deltoid muscles being fully articulate, the rest of the figure's articulation is just like the old 90s Marvel figure.
Green Gobline also lack articulation on the hand and wrist, the pro to that is though is his hands are really well sculpted.

The best figure in the set with no problems is Venom which uses a repainted Marvel Legends Sabretooth body with full articulation which is a step up from the regular Spiderman line Venom and Electro is well sculpted and fully articulate.

The worst figures are probably Kraven the Hunter and Blackcat.

Overall there are cons and pros to this set. You'll have to weigh it out yourself.

Spidey and the Sinister Five
This would be one wicked set if it wasn't for the Black Cat. I was excited that the Cat was getting a Marvel Legend figure and it looked good while it was still in the box. Once I took it out I was disappointed. It is simply overarticulated so that it won't even stay standing with it's base. The rest of the figures in this set were great. Electro is easily my favorite,the articulation on this figure is perfect and the likeness is spot on.

Buyer Beware!
I had trouble with the Green Goblin figure in which the hand/forearm separated from his arm.At each point of articulation it seems that whatever is used to "finish" the piece causes it to stick.The Goblin's arm separated at this "point of articulation".No problem; I'll just ask Toy Biz to replace the piece for me because it was clearly defective.However, after speaking with a customer service rep, I was offered given the "choice" to send the entire set of all seven figures back.BUT, the customer service rep said that I may NOT receive a Spiderman & the Sinister Six set back.It could be replaced with another set such as the Fantastic Four.What a bunch of baloney!Who would replace a defective product with something out of their grab bag?!I bought this set and I want THIS set!They are great figures but I can guarantee that the "points of articulation" will also stick on your set and one of yours may even separate.Then line up in the "Suckers" line behind me. ...

Yoda the 8 ball
I grew up with the "8 ball" - asking it Yes or No questions to see how it would answer.Now we have something even better!Yoda!!I got this as a gift this year and absolutely LOVE IT.Ask a Yes or No question - press his left hand and he has like 20+ different random answers!I had some friends over for dinner and we kept passing him around - everyone found this to be very entertaining.This is great for adults and young people.I may even take Yoda to the office!This is a MUST HAVE for Star Wars fans and collectors.

I love this thing!
From the first time I watched Star Wars Episode V, and saw Yoda, everybody else in the theatre thought he was a stupid little green alien, BUT I KNEW! Yoda is the wisest of all the Jedi Masters, and this toy is so cool! So far, he's helped me find $20 on the street, avoid a party where everybody was caught drinking, and get me a girlfriend. It worked for me, it'll work for you, too!

Oooahh! Scary this is!
Got this for mother for Christmas I did, mmm! Very reminiscent of the interactive furby-type Yoda toy from a few years back this is, only not quite so interactive, mmm hmmm hmm hmm! Like the Magic Eight-Ball this is, only a little more disturbing, yet kinda cute, yeess. Like Grover from Sesame Street after a weekend bender his voice sounds like! If built like the aforementioned Furby-ish toy, disintegrate his eyelids will after a couple years you should expect! Then always watching over you he will be, constantly staring, yeeess. Into the darkest, deepest pits of your soul he will gaze, your sickest, most depraved secrets and fears he will uncover, against you one day he'll use... oooaaahh! Bladder control I'm almost losing from such disquieting thoughts, mmm, yeess!

Speaking of bladders: leave now I have to, yeess. Perform the "drawing out of the dark side" I must, if what I mean you know, heh...

Star Wars Fun!!!!!!
My 3 year old loves this, he also has the millenium falcon, which he loves even more! They are more durable then you might expect, yes he does taske them apart, but they don't break and are able to be put back together!

this toy is fun
i liked this toy because it has luke skywalker.i got it when i was 5.this toy makes lots of sounds from star wars.it can even mov e its laser guns.it comes with r2d2 and luke skywalker.

Very nice toy for little hands
After getting the Millenium Falcon for her 8 yr old cousin, I saw that this was the favorite toy among the kids at the party.The one I got had 4 feet to the Falcon (Iguess a spare) and putting on all the stickers was definetly an adult job.This is an absolutely great gift for kids (boys or girls).Very durable and oh so cute.

I wish Hasbro would put out a Galactic Heroes Speeder Bike and Jungle Leia with Ewok (that would be soooo cute and to have a girl with a vehicle) and they also need a TIE Fighter with a Darth Vader!I am looking for an excuse to get the Falxon and X-Wing for my daughter, because mommy already has a big falcon and can't justify getting another!

My 4 yr old daughter loves Queen Amidala and kept asking for another one (I found 2 "skipper" sized golls on clearance).She LOVES Princess Leia and her husband Han Solo.She carries then everywhere and has them to parties with the Happy Family Barbie todlers.Now if I can oly find the Padme & Anakin set, she will be in heaven!I hope they come out with more girl jedi's in their two packs.Even though mommy loves Darth Vader, she can't get into the concept of liking a scary bad guy.I guess I'll keep those for when she's older.

With most action figures, not much in the way of educational value but she role plays with these two all the time. A+ to Hasbro and Star Wars for coming out with cute kid friendly action figures! ... Read more

Must have for Scooby Doo fans!
The mystery machine may be made of plastic, but it is pretty sturdy. My 4 year old son can vouch for that! He absolutely loves this van! The back of the van flips open so you can trap the 2 glow in the dark monsters in the cage, and it has a door that can lock them in! My son loves it that he got his 2 favorite characters (Scooby Doo and Shaggy) with this van. The front doors of the van open so the characters can go inside. This is a wonderful toy for any scooby doo fan!

Disappointed in toy
Although my son loves the Mystery Machine, it is made of CHEAP, CHEAP, plastic.Shaggy's arms keep falling off, the scooter is already broken, and the ghose cage is always coming apart.If I had known it was going to be like this, I would have never ordered the van.

With the ever present alien menace threatening Earth, the Power Rangers SPD Delta Squad unites to become the Megazord! This set comes with five extremely durable individual vehicles that, once combined, form the Megazord. Each toy is made of tough plastic that will easily withstand even the worst of monster beatings.

The best DX Megazord ever
This DX Megazord rocks!! It includes cool sounds and light effect, and it also includes its weapons that are used in the show. And also...... surprisingly connects with my Ninja Storm zords(Dolphinzord and Lionzord's head) which is really cool!! And--ah man, I can't wait for the DX Cyclemax Megazord to come out in stores so I can combined my Delta Squad Megazord with it and creates the powerful OmegaMax Megazord!!

All in all not a bad megazord
My son (4) and I (33) collect Power Rangers Zords. He has several from the first (MMPR) to now the SPD Delta Squad Megazord (newest available) and all in all it is very smooth, easy to transform, and attractive. The only draw backs are that it is a bit small for a megazord (only 10 inches tall or so), and the sword, gun and handcuffs are a bit delicate. The best thing about it is that all the accessories are able to be stowed on the zord itself. The gun and sword blade fit in the green truck (vehicle #2 - the left leg) and the sword handle is the spotlight rig on the yellow armored car. (vehicle #4 - left arm) If they had made it bigger it would be one of the best for design and looks.

Very nice
Better than I expected.It's very rugged, it opens it's mouth when you pull the trigger and roars (which I didn't expect).My son loves it.

pretty cool
My daughter is facinated by monsters and dinasours and was captivated by this toy.The main problem is that at 5 she has a some problems keeping the parts from coming apart while playing (and keeping her baby sister away from them), so it ends up being kept away except when I can monitor.Some of the parts have already been lost and may be better for older kids.But the look is great and definately excites the imagination.

Razor the T-Rex
Dinosaurs are the coolest thing that ever happened to Imaginext.While the pirate and medieval themes are cool, this prehistoric theme takes the prize for ultra coolness.The premise here is simple enough.Predators versus non-predators.Carnivores versus herbivores.

Razor the T-Rex is one of the bad guys.He stands among the biggest dinosaurs, about twice the size of the triceratops, stegosaurus, and allosaurus.He has posable legs, tail, and forearms.A trigger under his belly causes his head to lunge forward with snapping jaws, accompanied by sound effects and a dinosaur roar.Razor has a rather sinister look about him.He's not quite as cute as the other Imaginext dinosaurs are, but he still has plenty of "menacing" charisma.He has a great paint job of red and dark blue, and the designs on his body add flavor.

On Razor's back is a saddle for a cave man figure to ride.The included cave man wears a dinosaur skull headdress and carries a bone staff.He's got some great posability in the arms, and his hands do a great job of grasping items.Also included is a catapult and two large boulders.

Razor, his cave-man buddy, and the catapult are all durable and constructed from soft plastic.This is a really nice dinosaur action figure and a great addition to the Imaginext collection.Fisher Price has done a great job on what is by far the coolest and most charismatic collection of dinosaur action figures I've seen.My verdict:thumbs up! ...

The better X-Wing; the best re-release
As far as overall appeal, piece count, size enhancement, and added bonuses, the 4502 X-Wing Fighter is, by far, the greatest re-release in the Star Wars Lego line. (The only other comparable re-issue might be the Falcon.) With this set you go from 263 pieces in the 7140/7142 X-Wing to 563! That's a 300-piece increase, which, by anyone's standards is worth the increase in price (I hope). And while a number of those added parts are used in Yoda's hut, the disparity between the two X-Wings is anywhere from vast to incredibly immense. The only negative difference here is the color scheme; in 'The Empire Strikes Back', the X-Wing is obviously gray, not white. But that's a minor hitch in such a beautiful set.

This set comes with three minifigs: Yoda, R2-D2 and Luke, who sports Dagobah apparel (torn green shirt, backpack) rather than the typical orange, X-Wing Fighter outfit. So you don't get Biggs Darklighter or the rebel mechanic, but that's because this is in fact a Dagobah-themed set. Along with Yoda comes his infamous hut. It can unfold from its cozy, stoplight-shape so that you can see everything inside, which includes a stovetop & saucepan and a (small) eating area. Yoda does not come with a lightsabre, but instead a walking stick. Now on to the X-Wing....

One of the first things you will notice about this set is that the way the wings extend is a great deal more complicated. In the original X-Wing, all you had to do was "click" them up or down one notch. Here, an onslaught of technic pieces come together to allow you simply to turn a knob and, thus watch the four wings move into place all at once. Most impressive. Also, the wing size is much larger, making it a wider load. The snout here is also enlarged, by about an inch, which makes it look all the more prominent. A couple more things: the area that holds R2 is, fittingly, more enclosed and the Dagobah swamp theme is carried out even on the X-Wing itself, with a couple of seaweed leaves. These are all small-but-important added bonuses.

Putting this set together took well over an hour, although it never became tedious or tiresome at any point. And I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The only thing that keeps this X-Wing from being "perfect" is its durability (or lack thereof). Here and there a piece may come flying off at you, whether it's the antennas attached to the wings or the seaweed leaves. The wings are pretty stable as long as you NEVER use your hands to move them up and down. That creates a huge re-assemblage mess I hope no one ever experiences. I guess I am inclined to say that this set works best as a displayer, as I don't recommend zooming it from Dagobah to Cloud City and back too often, if you know what I mean. All in all, I couldn't recommend a Star Wars Lego set more than this one. The price is right when you consider you're getting a much better, much bigger X-Wing and Yoda's hut--something that would have been sadly missed had it not appeared somewhere. Get this set before it zooms past you.

Cool Set
This is one of the most confusing ships to build for me. I love the structure but it will break easily. I like Yoda's hut. It comes with two good minifigs and two light sabres.

don't waste your money
Overall this toy isn't worth $50. x-wing is cool, but certain parts fall off very easily. the lego yoda's hut is larger than scale compared to the movie one. In the movie luke has to crawl to get it, it's easy for him to fit in the lego one (which is kinda good, but kinda bad.) I'd say this is worth $20-$30, but no more. Many cooler legos for the same price ... Read more

NOT AN R4!
This toy is increadably kewl but is deffinately not and R4 unit, it's an R2, althougfh it has an inaccurate name it is still and awsome looking and durrable little toy! a recomended buy!

Nice R4 Unit
I'm looking forward to seeing this guy in Episode III. He is a gold-colored droid that apart from his color looks alot like R2D2. Cute little guy and a fun toy to play with.

R2-D2 with a k-razy paint job!
Ok,it's not so k-razy,but this R2-unit is a really fun little guy.Place him near any light source and his 'eye' glows orange.His arms/legs/whatever are poseable as are his feet/hands/whatevers and if you spin his dome around - presto - his little third leg (I'm sorry,I really don't know what else to call it) extends downwards or stows back in his body.

And,big plus - that stupid looking blue ball thingy can be easily removed and thrown away - I mean,stored for the day when this becomes a valuable collectible.

Good for kids of all ages,except those young or strange enough to try and eat it. ... Read more

Lothlorien Gift Pack
This set of five figures contains the exclusive Haldir and Celeborn figures along with Galadriel, Frodo, and Strider.

The Haldir figure in his woodland garb is very nice.His boots are particularly cool.

The Celeborn figure is a disappointment.He bears little resemblance to actor Marton Csokas, and his hair should be silver rather than blonde.

The other three figures are available separately.

If you love the elves, you will love this set!
This set has five figures, Aragorn, Frodo, Galadriel, Celeborn, and Haldir.Aragorn is much like the Fellowship strider figure, only a little more sturdy.The Frodo is also similar to other Frodo's, but it is still nice.Galadriel is the very same Galadriel that has been around for awhile.I would have liked it if they had redone her.I don't completely like that figure.She's pushing her stomach out too far for me.The Haldir figure is really nice.I like him in his Lothlorien clothes.It's about time they came out with another Haldir.The last figure is Celeborn.He's very sturdy and looks a lot like the character from the movie.His robes are a very nice green color.It is definitely well made.This is a great set for LOR lovers. ...

Great set with some awesome new figures
This set includes five figures, Legolas, Gimli, Morannon Orc, Dead Soldier, and Mumakil Rider.Gimli is a great figure.He's much like the other Gimli's, but he's still great.Legolas is also a nice figure.This one has a different expression than other Legolas figures.That's always nice, considering most Legolas figures look like clones of each other.The Morannon Orc is a very sturdy figure.He's really ugly, but I guess that's expected since he's an orc.The Dead Soldier looks a lot like the dead soldiers.I don't know how well he'd pair with the king of the dead, considering the king of the dead is glow in the dark and this one is not.I really enjoy the Mumakil Rider.It looks just like the guy from the movies.He has the same insane expression on his face.If you are looking for a set chock full of great figures, this is the set for you! ...

Thunder the Brontosaurus
Dinosaurs are the coolest thing that ever happened to Imaginext.While the pirate and medieval themes are cool, this prehistoric theme takes the prize for ultra coolness.The premise here is simple enough.Predators versus non-predators.Carnivores versus herbivores.

Thunder the Brontosaurus is one of the good guys.He's one of the biggest dinosaurs, about twice the size of the triceratops, stegosaurus, and allosaurus.He has posable legs and tail.His long neck can move back and forth, and left and right.Atop his neck, his cute little head can move up and down.A trigger under his belly causes his right foreleg to stomp on the ground, accompanied by sound effects and a dinosaur roar.Thunder has plenty of charisma, displayed in a cute expression on his face.He looks like he's determined to stop those nasty predators from hurting his friends.He has a great paint job of light and dark greens, and the designs on his body add flavor.

On Thunder's back is a really nice saddle for a cave man figure to ride.The included cave man wears a sabertooth tiger skin headdress and carries a club.He's got some great posability in the arms, and his hands do a great job of grasping items.

Also included are three red raptors.Unfortunately, they're not posable like the rest of the dinosaurs are (would've been nice if they were).Each raptor has a different pose.Team them up with Slasher the Allosaurus and Razor the T-Rex, and your predators are ready to rumble with Thunder and the good dinosaurs.

Thunder, his cave-man buddy, and the raptors are durable and constructed from soft plastic.Thunder is a wonderful dinosaur action figure and a great addition to the Imaginext collection.My verdict:thumbs way up!Beware, all you nasty predators!Thunder is here to protect and defend all that is good in the land of the prehistoric. ...

Great Toy For Kids Who Love Resucue Heroes
This toy is a great addition to the Rescue Heroes line-up. Some pieces do not stay connected very firmly, but I agree with others who say that this is to keep them from snapping off and breaking permanently. They still work for their intended purpose. The talking computer is delightful for kids because there are so many combinations of voices saying different things for each disaster they deal with. I think this toy does a lot to stimulate the imagination of the kids for their own adventures. It does take about an hour to assemble and put the stickers on.

determined mom
My boys are just getting into the rescue heroes toys, so I did a lot of research before buying. But, when buying them the M.A.C.C. I still missed that there are only certain figures that work with it.I agree with the lady who said they are nearly impossible to find!!!But after a late night search of every online store I could think of, I resorted to ebay.There I was able to find a good selection of figures and other mission select toys!I am not a big believer in ebay, but when desperate, you can usually find it there!Now my boys are happy little heroes!

My son loves this toy!
This toy is very large and does take some time to put together, but it was worth it for my son(3 1/2).No it doesn't do much in way of interaction but if your child can entertain himself with his toys and plays well by themselves that this is a great toy.I know some children need more interaction to hold their interest so this might not be a good choice for them.My son also has his friends over and they all love it and that's when it really becomes fun for them , they won't come out of the room for about an hour once they start playing with this toy.It also helps to have alot of other RH toys. ...

Editorial Review

If there's anyone out there who thinks that the Pokemon craze would just be another fad, disappearing from public consciousness in a matter of months, well, think again. The popularity of the Japanese monster collecting game shows no sign of slowing and may in fact be growing thanks to improving technology, evidenced in new products such as this hand held Pokedex. It features electronically stored information on all 200 Pokemon Advanced monsters and features such as personalization and tracking up to six of your favorite Pokemon. You can earn trainer points as you capture the various critters on various different terrains offered. Beyond the traditional capture game, there are other challenges available including a Pokemon quiz and a new game where you help Mudkip run without tiring the poor guy out. The Pokedex may not appeal to someone who isn't already a Pokemon fan but for those who are hooked, it's a lot of fun. Three AAA batteries are required but not included. --Charlie Williams ...

Pokedex Advanced
This toy ROCKS! And I thought that the first Pokedex that was in stores was cool! This is WAY better! It actually looks like the real thing from the show! you can even catch pokemon, something that you could never, EVER do in the first one, even find pokemon in a new, cool way, by type, habitat and alphabetical!
I give it 2 thumbs up!

ZERO STARS!!!This Item SUCKS! (for lack of a better word)
I have bought 2 of these and BOTH broke in less than 5 minutes.The first one's battery fell out as soon as my son started playing with it and his grandfather assumed he would just put the battery back in, but it didn't fix it.The screen went blank and it did not work after that.It still doesn't.Then I thought it was a "dud" Pokedex so I bought another one for my son.He played it for about 2 minutes and all the sudden the screen froze and it started making a clicking and humming sound.I took out the battery in hopes to "refresh" the Pokedex and even after taking the battery out it STILL made the noises!!So I put the battery back in, but it didn't fix it.For 2 months the clicking and humming sounds went on and on and on.I wasted $60.00 on these pieces of junk!)@(#!

perfect!
My 10 year old son REALLY loves this toy!!
buy it now!!
your kids will LOVE it!! ... Read more

unstable
this toy is very fun but be warned, if you think
the little 'bonus' qualifys for not getting general grievious,
you're wrong. it also sometimes the part where GG sits moves
independently from the wheel, looking weird.
and it may roll on its own.

"Exlusive" Figure is Crap, But Everything Else Looks Good
For the most part we, the consumers, purchase a VEHICLE set for the vehicle, not an extra pack in meant to draw in unwary buyers.So listing the absolutly terrible "Exclusive"Greivous as a downfall for the set as a whole is just picky.The vehicle in itself (the main attraction of the package), isn't all bad.Sure, it isn't the greatest of vehicles but it is very likely the only wheel bike that will come out, and you can bet that the wheel bike will hold a special place in the movie (f.y.i. the Obi-Wan Greivous chase scene), so that alone makes it worth buying.Don't let the other reviews make this package out to be absolute crap, after all, it's a plastic vehicle made for playing with; NOT made for perfect acuracy.It's out there to be fun to play with along with your other 3/4 inch figures, and it does that job exceedingly well.So what if it's balance isn't flawless, you purchase it to play with, not display (at least most people do).Bottom line:enjoy it for what it is:a good representation of the new movie vehicle.Not what you THINK it should be.This is a good purchase.

NOT AS COOL AS IT LOOKS...
It looks cool. It wants to be cool. I WANTED it to be cool. But it's not.

Here's the skinny:
~ The exclusive figure does not fit in the chair.
(be warned the "Wheel-General" is barely articulated)
~ The piece is ill-balanced.
~ It rolls unsteadily (when it rolls).
~ It stands poorly.
~ It's awkward to hold and clumsy to play with.
~ and to top it off, it "feels" cheap.

Do not be swayed by the stunning packaging. Do not be fooled by the exclusive figure. This is a weak offering from the Hasbro team. Don't get caught up in the hype, learn from my mistake. ... Read more

One of the Best Rescue Hero Vehicles
My son loves this RH toy! It holds lots of guys (a big plus for him) and was easy to assemble (a big plus for me)! I think it stays together much better then the RH airplanes, which I'm always having to put wings and windshields back on. This Ambulance and the Bi-Pod jet are the best of the Rescue Heroes vehicles set!

We love it
We love this toy. We were so happy to finally see an ambulance. Otherwise, what does Matt Medic drive???We haven't had any problems with any parts staying on.My son is 3 and is thrilled with this addition to his huge Rescue Heroes collection.

Rescue Heroes Ambulance
Not as cool a toy as we had hoped.We have most of the other large vehicles and this one snaps together easily, but for price, not that great an ambulance/rescue hero vehicle.Difficult for the rescue heroes to stay on the fold out sections in the back and the stretcher never stays inside the vehicle.Wench in front does not stay on well either.Pass on this one and purchase the mission select police car, jet or fire truck.Much better values for the money! ...
