Review roundup
Adam Pawlus reviews the Hasbro GI Joe Cobra Red Ninja figure. Excerpt: “I like this figure for what it aspires to be: a new version of a hard-to-get foreign figure, a trooper, a ninja, and another member of Cobra.”
Jeff Parker reviews the Hot Toys Predator 2 figure. Excerpt: “… you’d think that the Predator shouldn’t look out of place on a float on carnival day in San Francisco, but some how he doesn’t, and it all works.”
Josh Bernard reviews the Kaiyodo Revoltech Miniature Rebuild of Evangelion EVA-01 figure. Excerpt: “These come in a case meant to be sat on the counter next to the cash register, making them perfect impulse buys.”

Lando reviews the Lego Batcopter: The Chase for Scarecrow set. Excerpt: ” If you like the previous Batman sets then you need the Scarecrow to add to your LEGO villian arsenal.”
