An action figure that has the "REX FACTOR" !

Advantages: A great action figure with lots of character. Well made, fun to play with and collectable.
Disadvantages: Costly ... you don't get much change from a tenner these days when buying an action figure !!!

...Troopers) and Captain Rex is yet another impressive addition to this collection. ~~~ CAPTAIN REX ACTION FIGURE (CLONE WARS) ~~~ Clone Trooper CC-7567 was one of the many elite soldiers cloned from Bounty Hunter Jango Fett as part of the Grand Army Of The Republic. As a soldier he fought alongside Jedi Masters Yoda, Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and quickly developed a reputation as a masterful tactician, an independent thinker and a brave warrior. After the Battle Of Geonosis (featured in te movie Attack Of The Clones) Clone Trooper CC-7567 was promoted to the rank of Captain ... those closest to him fondly refer to him as "Captain Rex" In the Animated Clone Wars Movie Captain Rex plays a major role in the Grand Army Of The Republic.

When 900 years you reach, look as good, you will not ... (Yoda)

Advantages: A great action figure with lots of character. Well made, fun to play with and collectable.
Disadvantages: Costly ... you don't get much change from a tenner these days when buying an action figure !!!

...an impressive addition to the collection. ~~~ YODA ACTION FIGURE (CLONE WARS) ~~~ In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda famously said that "When 900 years you reach, look as good, you will not" !!! It was one of Yoda's many memorable quotes that has helped to make him into one of the most well loved characters from the entire Star Wars Saga. He may be 900 years old, he may be smaller than an Ewok but he is also one of the most powerful Jedi Masters of all time and as Yoda himself says "Size matters not" !!! In the Animated Clone Wars Movie Yoda takes centre stage as both a Jedi Master and as a General in the Grand Army Of The Republic. The Clone Wars Yoda action figure fully captures the spirit of this well loved character ... Master Yoda is dressed in traditional Jedi Robes (a brown tunic and trousers with a beige cloak) and comes...

star wars collectables-future investment?

Advantages: playable, robust, collectable
Disadvantages: can be expensive, too many to collect

...Star wars unleashed battle figures are very collectable and they come in a variety of packs and prices. For instance there is the Star Wars: Unleashed Battlepack - Episode IV Rebel Blockade Troopers, which onsists of four blockade troupers or Star Wars: Unleashed Battlepack - Episode IV Commanders, which consists of Princess Leia, Lord Darth Vader, Rebel Commander and Grand Moff Tarkin. Or maybe you would like Star Wars Unleashed Battle Pack ''Battle of Hoth'' Rebel Alliance Troopers or Star Wars Unleashed Battle Pack ''Battle of Hoth'' Imperial Snowtroopers. Then there is Star Wars Unleashed Order 66 Shock Trooper Battalion and Star Wars Unleashed Order 66 A New Empire. You see what I mean? I am not much of a Star Wars fan but my son is and he collects the figures and seems to know which ones he wants to collect. I am sure that...

Ron Weasley figure

Advantages: Looks like Ron, durable
Disadvantages: small wand accessory

...Perfect Harry Potter figure for collectors and for kids to play with! Ron Weasley is Harrys best friend and a must have figure for any fans. This figure looks just like Ron from the films but the figures are based on the 5th film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This figure comes with Rons wand and his patronus when bought as a single figure. If bought as part of a set he will only come with his wand as an accessory. The wand is obviously quite small and easy to lose unless you take extra special care or attach it to the figures hand with sellotape or blu tack!! This figure is approximately 3 and 3/4 inches tall in proportion with the rest of the Harry Potter figures. The figures I find are very durable and tough and should withstand play by children. They do have an age limit of 4+ as they come with the wand...

Neville Longbottom figure

Advantages: Great accessories, looks like character, durable
Disadvantages: small wand accessory easy to lose

...This great lookalike figure of the clumsy character Neville Longbottom is perfect for collectors and children who love the books and films. This figure comes with Nevilles wand and his plant mimbulus mimbletonia when sold as a single figure and with just his wand as part of a set. The wand is very small so care should be taken if given to a young child. These figures do have a 4+ age limit. He stands approximately 3 and 3/4 inches tall like the other Harry Potter figures but like his character is taller than the Harry Potter figure slightly. This figure is great for any fan and is very durable for children to play with. They will have hours of fun with these figures recreating scenes and making their own up! Good value for money as supermarkets are selling this figure quite cheaply so you can buy the whole set...

Draco Malfoy figure

Advantages: Durable, looks like character
Disadvantages: small parts (wand) may be easy to lose

...I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I think these figures of everyones favourite characters are a really great idea! Whether you're a collector or want them to play with they are perfect. This Draco Malfoy figure looks closely like the Malfoy in the films, is fully poseable with 14 points of articulation, very durable (perfect for kids playing) and comes with a few accessories. They have a 4+ age limit probably because of small parts. This figure comes with Malfoys wand and 3 paper decrees from the movie with one frame to put them in. The figure is approximately 3 and 3/4 inches tall as are all of the Harry Potter figures but the height differs depending on the characters height so they look more realistic and are in proportion with the other figures. These figures are also quite cheap with an RRP of about £5 you can collect...

Transformers 2007: Movie Arcee Deluxe Figure

Advantages: transformation, colours
Disadvantages: fiddly weapon, limitating joints

...Transformers 2007: Movie Arcee Deluxe Action Figure Concept for the movie but didnt make the cut for the big screen VEHICLE MODE Arcee is a street bike, once again, in what seems to be her current incarnation's perennial mode. This time, her colors take on a somewhat feminine but more aggressive tone: in what seems to be a femme-Sideways color scheme, black and gold accents frame a deep purple/pink chassis, which is longer and leaner than any motorcycle Arcee before it [okay, there's been one]. A rather loose kickstand folds down from the driver's-left [port? on a bike?] side of the bike, and the missile clips onto the side as an exhaust pipe. Her license plate number is TF7407, heh. TRANSFORMATION With a straightforward transformation that calls to mind many elements of the Energon Arcee transformation scheme, Arcee...

MINIATURE HEROES (AND VILLAINS) !!!

Advantages: Fantastic Star Wars toys ideal for younger fans. Chunky, cute and collectable !!!
Disadvantages: The popularity of Galactic Heroes makes several of the more popular characters hard to find

...... PLAYSKOOL also released 5 other sets in the Star Wars Junior Collection ... Arena Adventure, Duel With Darth Maul, Fast Through the Forest, Millennium Falcon Adventure and X-Wing Adventure. The "cuteness" of the miniature figures added to the coolness of the "chunky" creatures and spaceships proved extremely popular with both younger Star Wars and established collectors and these early sets very quickly sold out ! It was clear that PLAYSKOOL had succeeded in capturing the action and adventure of the Star Wars Saga and had made it more accessible to younger children ... and it wasn't long before HASBRO realised that these miniature Star Wars Junior figures were rapidly becoming the most sought after Star Wars toys of 2002. Their response was simple ... they purchased the rights to the Star Wars Junior franchise and renamed them "GALACTIC HEROES...

Grawp the giant figure

Advantages: Very durable, looks like Grawp from the film
Disadvantages: quite large

...This great figure is perfect for any Harry Potter fan or collector. It is much larger than the other Harry Potter figures to fit in with the film that he is a giant. He stands approximately 10 and 1/2 inches tall. This figure also has a punch action. There is a small button on his back (hidden by his clothes) which makes one of his hands punch forwards. His hand can be adjusted to make this punching hand start lower or higher and end lower or higher on his body. This figure looks like Grawp from the film - Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix. This figure doesn't come with any accessories it's just the large Grawp figure so it could be played with by younger children quite safely. The only parts of this figure which can be removed are his cloth like clothes. This figure is also very durable like the rest of the Harry...

Toy Story Woody Action Figure

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Delicate

...Okay my wee boy loves this toy and its a brilliant (although small) action figure that he has placed in his collection with pride. The character is more of a characiture of Woody. My one worry is that the toy itself is a little flimbsy and delecate. I think i paid £6.99 for this and i suppose it was worth the money. The item has plenty of colours and is reasonably true to the movie character. The Hat comes off but i would say that the boots look uncharacteristically big and are not in proportion to the rest of the action figure. I honestly think there are better Woody toys out there and i would recommend shopping around for a similar or better item from the seemingly massive toy story collection...
