Sgt. T-Rex Turner Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Dino-Trackers Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro T-Rex Turner was definintley the best of the Dino Tracker series. Turner has the best weapons of his series. The color scheme is great and so his the sculpt. The weapons are the coolest feature. He has a futuristic bow that really shoots 2 arrows.The bow also fits well in his hands. Turner can put the arrows in the backpack that can go on his back. Turner wears a kevlar shirt and cowboy hat with the JP logo. Turner also has a nonremovable gun at his waist and knife at is ankle. Turner's pants are tan and look great-4.5 stars. ...[See More]
Capture Cruiser Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Vehicles Rated 4.00 stars by El Bandelerro As part of the Dino Trackers series the Capture Cruiser turned some heads. This is a really great vehicle, but it is a tad delicate- which lowers it's score on El Bandelerro's scale. This thing is tan and yellow. It has a built in net launcher and 2 station guns that don't shoot. The capture cruiser isn't really a safari vehicle- it's more of a lowrider. I don't really like the color scheme on it and it's too delicate, so I go to give it 4 stars. ...[See More]
Jungle Runner Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Vehicles Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro Possibley, the most underrated toy in the JP series, the Jungle Runner can get the job done- and then some. The Jungle Runner is an ATV with a grappaling hook launcher, tracking system, and a place to carry injured figures. First off, let me comment on how it moves- The wheels are great and they don't squeak. My favorite feature is the shocks on the wheels! It's good for play anywhere due to these shocks and that is just awesome.
The grappling hook launcher is perfect. It is on a string with not a bad length. The launcher sits on a stand which can break off as a dino-damage feature!
In the cockpit of the thing is a satellite picture of Isla Nublar and a heat-sensitive photo of a Triceratops. There is also a metal thing that can be used to protect the driver or save injured...[See More]
Tyrannosaurus Rex Jurassic Park (Kenner) - Electronic Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro The big guy, himself. Probably the best JP rex alongside the Bull T-Rex. He roars, looks good, and is fun to play with or display. He's huge- the biggest of the series! This guy is a brown maroon color with black stripes and a light green underbelly. Now, he's not as long or as fat as the bull, but Rexy is just as impressive. Rex stands higher than the Bull T-Rex and has very good electronic features. The toy is a little hard to stand up, but that's no problem. If you like playing with toys, making diorams, or just finishing a collection, this one is for you- 5 stars. ...[See More]
Triceratops "Trike" Jurassic Park - Lost World (Kenner) - Dinos - Series 1 Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro Triceratops has always been one of my favorites and the Jurassic Park Triceratops action figure just adds to that. This guy is massive. The toy is about a foot long and about 4 inches wide. The entire figure is a bluish gray color. The horns over the brows are about 3 inches long. The head bobbles on purpose to resemble a goring motion. The whole sculpt is great and the skin is rubbery to be like real reptilian skin. This guy's frill is massive all by itself. Great figure, great action that's why I got to give it 5 stars. ...[See More]
Utahraptor "Ripper" Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Deluxe Dinos Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro The Utahraptor was about 4x the size of a velociraptor, and in this case, 10x as valuable! This has got to be one of the all-time coolest action figures on the market. The raptor a nasty scream and is in an attacking position. This one is pretty big and 4 points of articulation. He's a light orange color with black stripes and a white underbelly. The best feature is that you can pull the legs back and press a button to see him lunge and here him screech! It is a 10 plus scuplt with coolest action features ever. Everything is perfect, except for the lack of detail so I have to give it 4.5 stars.

Carnotaurus "Demon" Jurassic Park - Series 2 (Kenner) - Deluxe Dinos Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro Carnotaurus has always been my longtime favorite dinosaur. And nothing gets better than the figure I am reviewing right here. Drum roll, please. The Jurassic Park "Demon" Carnotaurus! This figure is superb. He stands pretty high and makes the best display. Let's start of with head. The Carnotaurus has 2 big black horns over the brows and vanilla white teeth. The jaw is wide open and ready to fight. His claws are white and pretty big. The arms are accuratley short and are black. Demon has some big feet with even bigger white claws. All down the back are red stripes over a black basecoat. Demon also comes with three pieces of restraint gear- a mask/jaw restraint, a neck restraint, and an ankle clamps. Definintley one the greatest, so I give it 5 stars. ...[See More]
Donatello Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Classic Collection (Playmates) - 25th Anniversary Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro They lie, they cheat, they steal and thier rollin' into your WWE collection. As a lucha libre fan I was pretty excited to get my hands on the Los Guerreros 2-pack. This set contains former tag champions, Eddie and Chavo Guerrero(Los Guerreros). The Eddie figure is not too bad. The sculpt is not the best due to the biceps being so big, you can't even set him up for frog splash(flying body slam)! The head is perfect. His abs are a little muscley, but that's okay. I do have a problem with the hands though, they're too loose on his wrists. It has the trademark tights that say "LATINO" on the back. He also has gold boots with black flames.Not too bad for Jakks Pacific.
The Chavo figure has the exact same body sculpt except for the head. Chavito has a screaming look on his face. His tights...[See More]
Van Helsing (Crossbow) Van Helsing (Jakks Pacific) - Series 1 Rated 4.50 stars by El Bandelerro Van helsing the movie was just what the boxoffice needed. It was exciting, scary, and had great special effects. The Van Helsing toyline really lived up to its name. The figure I am reviewing on is the Van helsing toy with crossbow. This figure is an incredible likeness to the actor who protrayed Van Helsing, Hugh Jackman. The toy itself is good and solid. The toy wears the same clothes as in the movie- the black hat, the black cape, everything.
The crossbow is one of best looking accessories ever to be place with an action figure. It is the smae gas powered semi-automatic crossbow featured in the film. It is a metallic silver and gold color and the chamber is black. It is very realistic and impressive. The whole figure is great except for the lack of action features, which lowers...[See More]
Atilla the Hun McFarlane's Monsters (McFarlane) - Series 3 - Six Faces of Madness Rated 5.00 stars by El Bandelerro I saw this figure at KB Toys and I thought you should all hear about this one. This is Atilla the Hun. Don't know about the huns? The Huns were a nomadic group of medievil barbarians all over Europe. Capish? Now about the toy. This guy is bloody and pissed off. He is standing on a pile of burning, bloody skulls. He is wearing animal skin clothing and is in striking pose. Atilla's mouth is covered in blood.The most realistic toy I've ever seen. 5 stars, hands down. ...[See More]
