Caliban
X-Men - X-Force (Toy Biz) - Series 6
Rated 5.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Who the heck is Caliban? That's what I said when I saw him. He's was supposed to be one of Apocalypse's four horsemen but he ran away and now aids the X-force team (according to the packaging). What made me buy him you say? Aside from being $2.50, he is massive!! He stands 5 1/4 inches which is a bit taller than most 5 inch figures...for obvious reasons...duh... He has a great red-and-white color scheme which kind of looks like a skull and comes with a blue-green cloak thingy which doesnt look too good on him but that doesnt matter since Caliban is such a great figure. The package indicated that he had "Mutant Roaring Action" Holy moly!! If you squeeze his left leg, his powerful arms fly upward and his jaw opens. It is actually quite impressive since Caliban is so insanely muscular...[See More]

Hunter-Prey Superman vs Doomsday
Superman - Man of Steel (Kenner) - 2-Packs
Rated 3.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Very few figures have the ability to make me cry... After hearing about how the beloved Superman was killed, that's right, KILLED!!, I ran to my local comic shop to see if they had any back issues of this insane-sounding occurence. Surely enough, there was the comic cover...adorned with the tattered remains of Superman's majestic cape... What hideous creature could possibly do this to the Man of Steel!? What evil contraption had been constructed to bring forth the end of the greatest hero to ever live!? It was no other than the abomination that is DOOMSDAY!! All bow down to this immense mountain-sized beast!! Jagged razor-bone protrusions cover his shoulders, back, face, knees, fists, and arms!! His skin a grey indestructable material!! He flaunts his godlike-muscles by wearing...[See More]

Holiday Special
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Exclusives - Multi-Packs
Rated 2.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
I dislike writing negative reviews... Mary Jane. The mere mention of her name brings up images of fiery red hair, tight yellow sweatshirts, and of the mischevious beauty beyond belief...her tangible version begs to differ - BEGS to differ... Oh what joy!! I finally found a Mary Jane!! I never dreamed the day would come when I finally got to own the Lady of Lore, Mary Ja- wait a second...this...this isn't Mary Jane!! Aaahh!! What villain decided it would be a great idea to try and represent The Devine Mary Jane with this...this...imposter!! Oh for shame on the vile scum that sought to ruin Mary Jane's perfection with this horrid figure. Mary Jane is NOT as thin as this wiry impostor. Mary Jane is NOT frozen in a robotic position as this shameful attempt is. Mary Jane's hair does NOT...[See More]

Batman (Combat Belt)
Batman - Animated Series (Kenner) - Series 1
Rated 5.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Beautifully fine!! Classic design!! What is the best figure ever made for the infinitely countless Batman series? The original Batman of course!! Batman comes painted in his greatest color scheme and is sculpted exactly like he looks in the original Batman:TAS cartoons. The classic grey and black with the piercing white eyes and the bold yellow and black bat-symbol emblazoned on his chest!! His gloves, boots, cowel, and tights are jet black with a satin smooth finish to contrast with his arms, legs, and torso which are painted a soft, light grey. His eyes, a blinding white against his dark mask. Batman also comes with handcuffs, a fabric cape, a removable belt, and a yellow grappling hook that really shoots!! It has a powerful spring inside which shoots it extremely far. The grappling...[See More]

Kraven
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Animated - Series 2
Rated 4.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Kraven is yet another figure that would have gotten 5 stars except for one flaw... There is no question that Kraven's body is a work of art. The color scheme is exactly the same as the cartoon which is how it is supposed to be. His brown boots and white and forest green wrist bands have intricate engravings on them which heighten his look of a jungle predator. The solid black of his pants enhances his leg muscles. The lion's mane he wears as a vest is very detailed. The iron spikes on his waist are perfectly sculpted. Even his hands were excellently made. But just like just about every figure out there, he has a flaw. His head is too small!! I understand that the lion's mane had to be made large and that it would get in the way of the head's movement but really now, this is ridiculous....[See More]

Prowler
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Animated - Series 4
Rated 4.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
The Prowler is yet another, fine creation from the Spiderman figures. Prowler is just beautiful. His suit is mainly green with a lavendar cape, mask, boots and guantlets. His cape is removable and he comes with a collector's pin. When I first saw Prowler, the picture on his packaging caught my eye. He's shown in a crouching position with his razor-claws lashing out. Whoa!! This guy has claws!! So I looked at the figure's claws...and well, they aren't exactly the lethal weapons they seem to be on the packaging...Toy Biz decided to make his claws be able to retract and spring out. A great idea, but they botched the job. The "claws" look more like lavendar toothpics...I'm not saying they are horrible eyesoars, oh no, far from it, I'm just saying they don't look like they are supposed to...[See More]

Venom II
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Animated - Series 4
Rated 4.50 stars by Henchmen4Hire
No amount of words can express how finely crafted this figure is. This is the best version (there are like 5 versions) of Venom out there. There is nothing much to say about the paint job, I mean, come on, he's all black with the white spider symbol and the white patches on his hands. Venom's massive build and detailed features are what make him an awesome find. His head looks just like the cartoon version of Eddie Brock. He has small veins protruding all over his body. The blackness of his suit actually catches light and causes it to create a rippling effect over his perfectly proportionate muscles. Yes, Venom is MASSIVE. He's 5 1/4 inches and is built like a bull!! He's heavy too. He's the heaviest figure I have. (Maybe Warstar from the X-men is a bit heavier...robots do tend to be...[See More]

Spider-Man (Spider Armor)
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Animated - Series 3
Rated 4.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Ever since I saw this Spiderman on the cartoon series, I knew I had to have him. This is one of the best Spidey versions ever made. The black body and silver armor plates give him a classic "I'm going to kick your arse and i'm going to do it in style" look. I was very happy to see that Toy Biz didn't just take a basic Spiderman body (Octo-Spidey, Scarlet Spider, Spiderman 2099) and add the armor plates onto it. They actually made an original mold for Armor Spidey and it turned out fantastic!! On the show, Armor Spiderman had lots of fancy gadgets like wrist lasers, impact webbing, infrared vision, on and on. Of course there was no way to fit so many features on him and keep him in scale with the other figures in the toy line. Toy Biz decided to give Armor Spidey a web shield AND allow...[See More]

Flash
Total Justice (Kenner) - Series 1
Rated 4.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
One of the reasons I like the Total Justice figures is the attention to detail. The paint jobs on them are excellent. Many other toy series I've seen always seem to have a slight flaw on them like paint running from the corner of the eyes or paint from boots overlapping the paint on the figure's leg. The paint job on The Flash is sharp and concise. The yellow lightning streaks on his red gloves are perfectly defined, just like streak around his waist, the lightning accents on the sides of his mask, and the famous Flash symbol on his chest. I know a lot of people like detailed muscles too, but also like some other other Total Justice figures, sometimes the muscles go overboard. Flash, Green Lantern, and Superman all have these ridiculously exaggerated neck muscles. It seems like someone...[See More]

Spider-Carnage
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Venom - Along Came a Spider
Rated 5.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Wow, just, where to start with this...oh, I know, this thing is awesome!! If you are a fan of any kind of Spiderman, then you will definitely know who Spider-Carnage is. It is the result of the Carnage symbiote merging with our unfortunate hero, Spiderman!! -=HOW I CAME TO HAVE IT=- When I first heard from a friend that a Spider-Carnage figure was at Toys R Us, I almost forgot to breathe!! I flew down to the store only to find them sold-out...3 YEARS AGO. It turns out my friend was just yanking my chain. So after I throttled him with the said chain, I looked online to find one. After hours of searching, I found places that sold Spider-Carnage for as much as 80 dollars!! No way!! So I had to resort to Ebay...40 dollars is still too much to pay. Someone was selling a toy lot. I figured...[See More]

Crusing the net for comic picks of Spider-Carnage, because I''m bored, I found this ancient review. The chances of you getting SC like that are truly one in a million! Congradtulations, you are either a lier, or the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
Anyway, being the level of pickyness I am, I am forced to tell you that Spider-Carnage first appeared in the comics after the Carnage Symbiot left Cassady and bonded with the Spider-Man at the time, Ben Reilly, thusly why his costume looks that way it does.
Eventually, after a long internal battle with the murderous impulses directed at the then powerless Peter Parker, Ben was able to remove the symbiot. The makers of the (don''t say it, don''t say it, don''t say it) spectacular (BLAST!) animated series later adapted Spider-Carnage for the animated series with a greatly altered backstory. Still, it was better then the comics.
