Michael Crawford hails the king in a two-for-one review of the NECA Cult Classics S-mart Ash and Krishna Zombie figures. Excerpt: “S-Mart Ash is a clear winner … the zombie isn’t quite as exciting …”
yo go re has pun with his Hasbro Optimash Prime figure review. Excerpt: “… since the front of the helmet can be removed separately, you can pretend that Michael Bay was right, that Prime has a mouth behind there.”
Jager reviews three versions of STRANGEco’s Luey vinyl figure. Excerpt: “Rage is… well, raging with a big smile and an evil look. He’s not just evil, he’s happy about it.”
Ben Yee bestows a “jAam!” to the Hasbro Transformers Elita-One figure. Excerpt: “A redeco of a figure is perhaps not the most glorious way for a character with such a powerful pedigree, but it is a start and makes ‘Elita-One’ an official transforming figure at last.”
