Strike Cycle
Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Vehicles
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
A classic! The strike cycle has definintly worked its way into El Bandelerro's Action Figure Hall of Fame. The strike cycle features a missle launcher amd scope on the side car and mean-looking motorcycle. On the handlebars is a machine gun. The cycle is dark green with orange stripes and features an entire raptor skeleton tied onto the thing-the skull on the front, the ribs on the sides, the arms after the skull- you get the idea. The wheels are rugged and roll as smooth as butter. The side car is removable and features a missle launcher that can capture all kinds of dinos, a scope the same coloring as the motorcycle. A classicly handsome vehicle, the strike cycle is a 5 star. ...[See More]

Jungle Spinosaurus
Jurassic Park III (Hasbro) - CamoXtreme Deluxe Dinosaur
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
The camo-x-treme series is one of my favorites. These are the best repaints ever done. The jungle spino is the best of the best. The body is scarlet with black stripes all around the body. The sail and top part of the jaw are black with blue stripes and lines. There is the dino-damage wound on the ribs and has the same sound features as the original. The underbelly is white. The claws are black and has the white JP mark on his left thigh. Great figure, cool paint job- 5 stars. ...[See More]

Covenant Banshee
Halo (Joyride Studios) - Series 3
Rated 3.50 stars by El Bandelerro
I wasn't totally impressed with the banshee insince it was coming from a great series. The Elite and the grunt are too small and not posable enough. The Halo series is a favorite so I would like to know what were they thinking. The banshee itself is not too bad. Its purple and the Elite fits in perfect. The inside is somewhat detailed and looks like a control room. Not bad, not good- 3.5 stars ...[See More]

Command Compound
Jurassic Park (Kenner) - Playsets
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
This is by far the best playset that has that ever hit the shelves. The command compund provides hours and hours of fun. The command compound is modeled after the visiter center in the film. This thing is huge! It stands almost 2 feet high. At the top of the building is a small bamboo observatory. On the inside of the observatory are 3 windows and you can put stickers on to resemble a health kit and some other things. Below the observatory is a balcony with dino damage piece in the front. I just love the balcony- it's great for setting up snipers. In the middle of the balcony is a grayish blue door with JP logo on it that leads down to the ground floor.On the ground floor are 2 dino damage features. On the inside there is a stationary harpoon gun, egg incubater, and JP moniters. You can...[See More]

Dragon
7th Voyage of Sinbad (X-Plus) - 14" Figures
Rated 4.00 stars by El Bandelerro
The dragon action figure is pretty cool. There is not a lot of good, solid detail but I just love the sculpt. He is mostly black with red vertebrate sticking out the back and tail. He has 2 horns on his head and the mouth is wide open and has rows and rows of bloody teeth. There is also a manacle around the neck. The claws are yellow, but tinted black. The tail is long and has an arrow-shaped tip at the end. To me, the most appealing feature is the heavily detailed head. Good, but not great- 4 stars. ...[See More]

Frankenstein's Monster (Revealing Brain)
Van Helsing (Jakks Pacific) - Series 1
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
It's alive! It's alive! The Frankenstien Monster action figure is surely anything but dead. With realistic sculpt and detailed paint job, how could it? If your thinking about the classic Universal Monsters, this figure is not the same.The Big Monster is mostley green. He wears brown, raggedy pants with no shoes or shirt. Ol' Frank is bald with bolts in his neck. He's boldging with muscles and looks as if he could rip someones head off! Good sculpt, better detail- 5 stars ...[See More]

Legolas (Helm's Deep)
Lord of the Rings - Two Towers (Toy Biz) - Series 4
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
As the orcs flood in through castle gates, make sure you have Legolas guarding your back. The Legolas Helms Deep action figure is a top 10 LOTR figure. Legolas is in his Helms Deep attire- everthing minus the cape. The body sculpt is perfect. The whole thing is realistic and very well detailed Legolas comes with a bow, 3 arrows, and a dagger. He also has dagger drawing action. Squeeze his legs together to make him reach back and unsheath the dagger. One of the coolest figures of the Two Towers series, realistic, a lot of detail, which makes it a 5 star figure. ...[See More]

Paul Kirby & Stegosaurus
Jurassic Park III (Hasbro) - Humans
Rated 2.00 stars by El Bandelerro
I was unimpressed, to say the least, when I bought this toy. For such a rare figure, it doesn't pack much punch. First off, it looks nothing like the actor, NOTHING! The head sculpt is pathetic. He has no facial hair, what so ever. His hair is orange, for Pete's sake! Kirby's clothes are nothing like what he wore in the movie.The weapons are not too bad-a net launcher. The baby dinosaur is a Stegosaurus and is gray with blue wavy stripes. The reason this fiigure get's any stars is that hasbro took a risk with this one and The Dominican Bandelerro awards courage. -1 star ...[See More]

Mongrel Man
Gladius (LucasArts) - Basic Series
Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro
This figure is an EBGames.com exclusive. This figure came with the Gladius video game. Gladius is about a young gladitor, named Valens trying to make a name for himself in Rome. One of the characters in the story is a mongrel( half man, half ape). This figure is highly detailed and is my 2nd favorite figure in the ever made( first is the VH Dracula Monster). The Mongrel man wears his trademark bark armour. and comes with 2 bloody battle axes. His mouth his wide open and has some big canines. The mongrel has brown hair all over his body. The sculpt looks a little like a chimpanzee, but in this case, it's perfect. The Mongrel Man action figure can really compete and come out on on top-5 stars. ...[See More]

Covenant Elite (Red)
Halo (Joyride Studios) - Series 4
Rated 4.00 stars by El Bandelerro
The Elite aliens featured in Halo are by far my favorite extraterrestial creature. These things are fast as lightning and as lethal as the devil. Mine has red armour, but you can buy one in any color you can think of. The armour covers the whole body. The Elite comes with a plasma rifle. The plasma rifle is purple and green and kicks some serious A's. The Elite sculpt is tall and slender, like in the game. He has hooves for feet, which is pretty cool. An awsome toy, but no features- 4 stars ...[See More]
