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...

Thanks Tim! I'll though I'm not sure I want to uh, touch anyone. Michael MWC reviews of wave 6 coming soon! I found them this week at Target and EB.

Thanks! Uh, I think! Thanks for the praise - I occasionally stop people from spending money, believe it or not. But everyone should have a PIS. Really, go buy it now! Michael MWC

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...

Yep, the one I have is pretty representative of the actual figures. I like him, but he does have some googly eyes I suppose. It didn't jump out at me at first, but I may have been simply bedazzled by the accessories. Michael MWC

Thanks! That's quite a compliment, and I really appreciate it. BTW, I figured out that I messed up on Janice - she's left handed. Ah well, what can I say. Michael MWC

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...

Thanks Luke - yep, that price is a bit of a bite, but the size and sculpt certainly are exceptional. I'm looking forward to the Christmas Carol sets, as that's one of my favorite Muppet films. Michael MWC

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...

Wow! Thanks everyone, and yes, I do all my own photos. The ones on the blue background are my reviews of course, but the guest review folks do their own work. BTW, I just got the mini-muppets yesterday (a review coming next week) and they are great! Michael MWC

Why, thank you! Now it's off to find the mini's... Michael MWC

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...

Yep, the site is mine. Thanks! Michael MWC

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...

Thanks Fozzie! Michael MWC

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...
