I've had poor Gonzo for a few weeks now, but there's been enough 'hot' new stuff hitting the pegs that the unfortunate muppet kept getting pushed off. Well, no more! Tonight I have a review up of the WWE exclusive Tuxedo Gonzo with his other chicken, Bernice. This exclusive set is also...

Camilla just isn't a big chicken, she's a MEGA chicken! The new Palisades Collector's Club exclusive Mega Camilla is now shipping, and I have a review up tonight. She looks great next to the Mega Gonzo, but this is one definitely for the hard core fans. You can check it out at the usual...

You might be wondering what happened to my Thursday night review - where is mister consistent? Well, my birthday was Wednesday, and my lovely wife surprised me on Thursday morning with a weekend away in Chicago. It was a wonderful, relaxing time, but that meant no reviews til today. But...

I didn't manage to make it to last weekend's Wizard World show in L.A., but my nephew, Guy Klender, was nice enough to hit the show in my place. I received a big old box of goodies this week, and one of the highlights was the Ghost of Sam Arrow, the Muppets exclusive for the show. Is it...

My review tonight covers the brand spankin' new 2004 Tour Exclusive from Palisades - Adventurer Kermit! Yes, that's Indiana Jones to you and me. This is one of the best figures in the entire line, and has leaped to the head of the list of my favorite Muppets exclusives. Another great job by...

Tonight I have my review of the brand spankin' new Mega Gonzo up. This big little guy has all the articulation and sculpt of the original Tux Gonzo from series 5. He may be my favorite of the Mega's so far. Check it out at the usual: http://www.mwctoys.com Thanks for reading...

Tonight's review covers the newest set of Muppets busts from Sideshow, series 5. This one includes Miss Piggy, Dr. Teeth, Animal and Crazy Harry. I'm not as happy with this series as a whole though. You can check out all the gory details at the usual: http://www.mwctoys.com Thanks, and...

Man, what a week. While I was supposed to be lounging around, doing squat, and tinkering about the house, I ended up working harder than usual. As you might have noticed, I didn't do a Thursday/Friday review last week. No, I wasn't taking the day off for a holiday - my computer died in a...

This might just be an all bust week. I'm not quite sure yet, but I have several reviews backed up right now in that category, and I may have to get them all in this week. Or maybe it will be a Muppet week - God knows I have enough of those around too! So let's start the week off with the...

Yep, it's that time of year again - time for the fourth annual People's Choice Awards! Be sure to check out the voting ballot and get your choices in. You don't want your favorite companies, lines or figures losing out, do you? There's also six prize packs up for grabs, with at least four or...

I found the new Muppets play set, Pigs In Space, on Friday at a local Media Play. I didn't brave the wacko crowds but waited until the afternoon, and sure enough, there was the new set along with the Musicland exclusive Vacation Pepe. Tonight I have my review of the new play set - a four star...

The holidays are upon us, and to get us in the spirit there's some muppet spirits! The second series of mini-muppets from Palisades is now hitting store shelves. These two packs include six characters from the movie A Muppets Christmas Carol, and they look fantastic. Any fan of this film is...

Series 5 of the Muppets are hitting Targets and on-line stores right now. When I first heard this line up, I was meh. My only real favorite out of the set was Pepe, and while it was nice to have a new Gonzo and Janice to finish off the Mayhem, I wasn't waiting outside my local Target at 8am...

After the initial success of the Muppets line, Palisades supersized them, going with the Mega Muppets. Now we get the incredible shrinking version, the Mini-Muppets. The first two sets include Thog, the Snowths, Mahna Mahna, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and Sam the Eagle. I have a complete review of...

Here's something different - one of tonight's toy reviews actually ties in with my movie review this week! I have a review of the Wizard World Chicago exclusive Vaudeville Statler and Waldorf up tonight, and I love these two old buzzards. The price is a bit steep of course, making them a...

Tonight's review covers the new Koozebane Kermit, a Target exclusive shipping right now to stores with the regular assortment of series 4. Of the Kermit's released to day, this is easily the best. Great looking, with cool accessories and good articulation, and yes, this one stands up without...

I almost had nothing for tonight's review - I was planning on putting up two guest reviews, because my guest reviewers have been having much better luck finding new items than I have. Still no Batman! I can't believe it... But then Palisades came through today with a great package...

I received a nice little package from Sideshow this week - my series 3 mini-busts from the Muppets line! This set includes Janice, the Swedish Chef, Scooter and Link Hogthrob. Unfortunately, this set isn't quite as nice as the first two, and didn't score as well in sculpting and paint. Still...

I'm feeling under the weather today - my son came down with a cold on Tuesday, and by Wednesday night my daughter and I were starting to feel it. Sure enough, we woke up this morning both feeling craptastic. But I couldn't put off doing my Muppets review any longer. Series 4 is out and...

The Mega Animal is popping up all over the place now, but I first found him at Wizard World East, at the Palisades booth. It's been a week and a half, but I finally got the review up of this very cool version of the wild man, er, Muppet. Sporting similar articulation as the small version, with...
