Spiderman Animated Action Figure - Green Goblin Review

Spiderman Animated Action Figure - Green Goblin
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Green Goblin was one of several Christmas 2008 additions to our sons' action figure collection, including The Sandman and Venom.
The action figure's design comes from Spider-Man's latest animated series, [...]. The Green Goblin appears in episode 7, "Catalysts."
This action figure is well-built and very durable. It comes along with the signature Goblin Glider and a pumpkin bomb. Everything fits together well, which really makes playtime fun.
One final note on these action figures: we paid about [...] each for the Spider-Man toys but many collectors have driven up prices to more than [...] each. Compare Amazon sellers and be selective. You can still find affordable action figures on Amazon but you need to do some research.

Stomp Rocket - Triple Threat Review

Stomp Rocket - Triple Threat

there is a plastic tripod like assembly around the air hose stand. this stand simply is not durable enough and so it de-assembles rather too quickly upon use. with no stable stand the aim is completely random, almost better to hold it in one hand. that defeats the whole pump with the foot notion of the thang. so why bother... the nerf toys are more durable and the kids will play with them longer. the projectiles have already ripped off their paper wings. typical next day and hardly touched toy. final grade? D.

Flexible Flyer 41576T Star Chaser Swing Set Review

Flexible Flyer 41576T Star Chaser Swing Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This swing set has led to more frustration than any product that I have ever purchased. It is just awful and should be avoided at all cost. There are many problems:
1. The instructions that came with the set were not encased in a plastic baggie. Thus, when the box that the set became wet, the instructions were ruined: soggy and literally disintegrating.
2. As a result, I went to the web site to download a PDF version of the instructions. The instructions were printed front side and back side on a very large sheet -- far too large for any printer available to a consumer. As a result, I had to take screen shots of the sheet and try to piece them together. (Of course, the print was very faint and my printed out screen shots are very difficult to read.)
3. The parts are terribly labeled -- from the large pieces down to the smallest pieces.
4. Many of the parts are indistinguishable to the naked eye (some differ in size by literally 1/16 of an inch).
5. As a result, when one completes one arduous step, one may very well find that used he used the wrong parts and then have to start over.
6. The parts coming from the factory are of terrible quality. Holes are not punched through on the frame and quite a lot of effort is required just to get the parts to fit together.
I could go on, but I think that list is a start to an explanation of why this product should not be purchased.

Spider-Man Movie Classic 2 Villian Green Goblin Review

Spider-Man Movie Classic 2 Villian Green Goblin
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My 4-year-old was introduced to the "Spider-man" films earlier this year and was instantly smitten with the sinister Green Goblin. My mission for Christmas was clear: he had to have a Goblin.
On the one hand, the toy is fine -- it looks just like the character in the movie, and was hands down my son's favorite Christmas present. At the same time, it can be a source of constant frustration. The glider falls apart nearly every time he touches it, and from what I've read, this is a common complaint about this toy. Bottom line: the Goblin is a cool addition for your little web-slinger's collection, but expect a few headaches.

Estes Viper RC Airplane with Motion Sensing Control Review

Estes Viper RC Airplane with Motion Sensing Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a very amateur RC plane enthusiast, I have tried (and crashed) several different airplanes from Air Hogs, Estes, and others. This is the only plane that I was completely unable to get into the air before it self-destructed. As another review states, the controller seems to lose touch with the plane. The "motion" controller is not really motion sensitive--it is only "on/off" for direction, which makes it very difficult even for an adult to try to fly, much less give it to a child. The plane always took a nose dive to the left as soon as it got airborne, no matter which direction the control was in. After an hour or so and many crashes later, it finally hit the ground with the wing and broke it off at the motor--completely unrepairable. We have an Air Hogs Jet Scream plane that I finally got comfortable with, and it is MUCH more durable and more fun that this Viper. No matter how many crashes with the Jet Scream, it has virtually no damage because it is so lightweight. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this plane, unless you really want to torture a 10 year-old and his dad.

Estes 2183 Shuttle Xpress Flying Model Rocket Kit Review

Estes 2183 Shuttle Xpress Flying Model Rocket Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've always been a big fan of rockets with parasite gliders, but this one leaves me cold. The rocket itself isn't bad for a ready to fly kit, but the attached gliders are made mostly of cheesy foam and are inpossible to keep properly trimmed. I guess it might be fun if you like to launch rockets then watch gliders flutter to the ground like dead leaves, but I've got other ideas. This kits sole redeeming quality is the nose cone, which can be scavenged and used to build several other classic Estes kits. If you see it cheap, it might be worth your while, but overall the Shuttle Xpress is a disappointment.

A new wave of fighter technology. The Shuttle Xpress carries two fighter shuttles to battle. At apogee (peak altitude), it releases the two fighter shuttles that glide back to earth.
