Batgirl / Bane DC Minimates (Diamond Select) - Series 4 Rated 5.00 stars by Aca1raven2002 I think that you just can't go wrong when it comes to Minimates. First is Batgirl, with a nice paint job representing her costume. Her mask is removable and she comes with a red headed ponytail for some "Unmasked" adventure. Articulation is great for any dynamic pose that you can think of. Bane is significantly taller then the other Minimates which is nice. He features a removable mask so you can see what he looks like underneath. Standard Minimate articulation which is great.
The packing is nice, clean, and crisp. Great for displaying in or out of the package.
A 5 out of 5....[See More]
Big Sister Bioshock 2 (Neca) - Series 1 Rated 4.50 stars by Aca1raven2002 Somehow I wondered into the world of Bioshock and had to get some of the figures. The big sister is a VERY cool figure. Her detail is far beyond par with some of McFarlanes figures, but I expect none the less from NECA. Her articulation is somewhat limited but not by much, she's no DCUC figure but I've had no problems with posing her so far. The big problem that I did have was when I took mine out of the package her left arm came off but it was easily glued back in place. (My bet is that it simply came unglued during shipment or some kid shook her really good.) She comes with a basket that the little sister stands in and it snaps in and stays put, however it does add some top weight to the figure. All in all a very good looking figure with a 4 1/2 out of 5....[See More]
Purgatori Chaos! Comics (Moore) - 12" Scale Rated 2.50 stars by Aca1raven2002 Purgatori is one of the coolest independent female characters in my opinion. This is more of a "Display" figure than an actual "Play with" figure. I noticed right out of the box how fragile her outfit is, pretty lousy stitching, so it tears easily. Her articulation is simple and she doesn't stand very well. Her wings are a whole different thing, cool as they look they just don't stay in place, they keep falling out and it makes the figure itself very top heavy. My recommendation is to keep her in the box and display her that way, plus the box has a lot of really good artwork from the comic. A 2 1/2 out of 5....[See More]
Chaos!''s figures always look nice but never seemed to have much in the way of articulation. All the Lady Death figures are better in the packaging too.
Agent Helix (Covert Ops) G.I. Joe - Rise of Cobra (Hasbro) - Collection 2 - Wave 3 Rated 3.00 stars by Aca1raven2002 Agent Helix is a pretty good figure, even though she wasn't in the movie itself she was in the video game adaption. Good articulation, her weapons are a little goofy and seem like something that might be in a dollar store figure. The launcher is a little bit better because unlike the other figures launchers hers has a satellite dish that goes on the end, I think its pretty interesting. If you notice on her right wrist a little raised spot, its a band-aid. It has something to do with when she marks her spot on a map she uses band-aids to represent herself. But all in all a good figure. 3 out of 5.
Customizer Notes,
I've used the figure several times as a customizer for her head and hair. Its very unique and can be used in tons of instances....[See More]
