Muppets series 8, Disney Magical Collection reviews

[Michael Crawford]

I love dem Muppets. This line, from Palisades, continues to be one of the most imaginative, creative, and finest overall lines on the market today. They've just released wave 8, consisting of Dr. Phil Van Neuter, Sam the Eagle (normal version), Movie Usher Scooter, and Marvin Suggs and his Muppephones.

The sculpting, articulation and accessories are amazing once again. Unfortunately, I had some real paint issues, but that was my only real complaint.

The guest review is from Coheteboy, and is on the Disney Magical Collection of Toy Story 2 figures - the Aliens, Rex and Hamm. You can check out both reviews at the usual:

Also a head's up for the Sideshow Collectors - the announced Wai-Lin from the James Bond line, Frank Black (from Millennium) for the X-Files line, and a very cool but way expensive T2 Endoskeleton quarter scale. I have links to all three right off the front page.

Thanks for reading!

I usually pass on the case variants (I think Rizzo is the only one I've bought). I've been tempted to buy these figures online, but I like to check out the paint in person and pick out the best ones (not that there has been much of a problem with paint).

Then you better buy what you see - this is probably going to be a very short run, considering the lack of retailers. Your only real bet to see them in person (other than any local specialty store you might have) is Sam Goody, Media Play or EBGames.

They don't happen to have an Animal do they?

They've already done two versions - the regular one with the Electric Mayhem playset:
