Our hero comes to life with lights, voice and sound and this amazing feature that could only be delivered in the world of Cars. Just set him down and watch him do his thing. Walking McQueen goes one step further to bring you the fun, excitement and magic of this animated modern classic

4 Stars Cars Walkin’ talkin’ lightning McQueen
Got this toy a few weeks before Christmas. Great deal at Amazon for $[...]. Can’t find a better price during the holidays if available; and trust me I checked Toys R Us, Kay-Bee, Target, Walmart, Bj’s and not once did I see it on the shelves. A few days later after purchase, Amazon jacked up the price for $[...]. My 2 year old likes it but you really need a big space to really enjoy this toy and unfortunately our living room is a tad small and carpeted. Sure to be a collectors item for a child who loves Cars, and who doesn’t? So that being said, it is well worth it.

5 Stars Cool Car
Fun toy, easy to operate, you do need a large open space to really enjoy all that it can do.

5 Stars Walkin’ Talkn’ Lightning McQueen
This product was for a birthday gift for a three year old. He was totally enraptured by it and has had a lot of fun with it.

5 Stars My 4-year old nephew loves it!
My nephew is obsessed with “colleen” aka “lightning mcqueen” – and he loved it the minute he saw it! When he’s not playing with it, he goes to sleep hugging it.

4 Stars Still Walking and Talking…
Any toy that my high-spirited five year old boy doesn’t break within hours of owning gets my high praise. It’s been three weeks, and he’s even dropped Lightning McQueen on a remote control Jeep (which broke off said Jeep’s tire) and it’s still kickin’. I would have given it five stars, but it’s a little pricey, and it’s novelty wears off quickly.

4 Stars What are you talking about?
I just looked this item up on Little Tykes website and you can buy one for $99.00. They’re in stock!

5 Stars Won’t break when dropped
This is great for my three year old who is always trying to use her older sister’s gear. Now she has her own camcorder that won’t break with each drop, and she can take it in the water!

5 Stars Its not Amazon changing the price!!!
To all of you that are complaining about Amazon changing the price… Amazon sells stuff by other dealers. Under the item it will tell you who the item is being sold by. Amazon is not price gouging, you should complain about who ever it says that it “sells and ships from.”

2 Stars Waste of money
Bought this from etoys as a Christmas present for almost 4yr old. Good price of only $89.00. First problem was getting the cover off to insert batteries. After nearly 10 minutes we finally got it off and then noticed that we would have to take it off every time we wanted to download the footage. Might have been willing to overlook that if the image quality were not so poor no matter what the resolution. The shutter is very slow and is nearly impossible to prevent movement of the heavy camera. Before returning to etoys (who were great about handling the return) I was going to remove the batteries. After trying to get the cover off for 5 minutes I decided it was not worth my time or frustration. So glad I returned this camera.

5 Stars Examples of the Video Footage follow URL
My first question was whats the quality of the output.. I couldn’t find anything on web so two examples of the video here .

http://www.applemax.net/Main/Movie/Entries/2008/11/29_Little_Tikes_Video_Camera.html

Max got one of those waterproof kids camera’s for his birthday and I have to be honest I really was expecting a poor output, how wrong was I!

Ok so the fact you have to unscrew the baseplate to get to the usb socket and the fact it records in ASF format so isn’t that friendly but just look at the quality!!!!

I think I needed Flip4Mac Studio to encode output after using MPEG Streamclip (freeware) – to covert from ASF but honestly I had this stuff anyway and I am OVER the MOON with the quality. Look out for more Video’s of Max by Max..

The Camera has 3 modes, Video, Replay and Camera. Camera picture are equally impressive!

Max gets the controls but he does find it quite heavy to hold for long periods (When you are 3 that is about 30 secs).

Once you have the hang of 2 secs to power on then hold the power button to scroll through modes. The zoom is useless if you set video and camera to maximum but I cant say he misses that option.

NECA Resident Evil 5 Series 1 Action Figure Chris Redfield

May 1st, 2009

NECA Resident Evil 5 Series 1 Action Figure Chris Redfield




A brand new series based on the latest installment in the #1 rated survival horror video game franchise, Resident Evil! This series brings the return of Chris Redfield, his new partner Sheva, and the villain Executioner. Each figure stands 7″ tall and comes with game accurate weapons and accessories. Chris and Sheva are highly poseable and can re-enact many of their signature action moves.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Solid Display Figure
This series is a far improvement over the other Resident Evil figures, and its not too shabby compared to other action figures. Although prices are a little steep for them, I would still suggest this figure (and Sheva) to any fan of the game or series.

5 Stars Finally a RE5 Chris Redfield You Can Display
If you were unlucky enough to feel the disappointment of opening up your RE5 CE and gazing upon the included micro Chirs Redfield figure, you were not alone. However, you can now redeem that mistake by picking up this incredible NECA figure.

The first line of RE5 figs included Chris, Sheva, and the Executioner majini. As you may know, NECA holds the majority of the videogame licenses and is one of the best in the industry in creating highly accurate, detailed figures for a mass production company. Their figures have gotten better by the year, and now they have released their most articualte figure yet.

If you bought the RE4 figs, you knew they were pretty static and while they looked good and were solid, they didn’t do much outside of their sculpt. Now Chris here can do all sorts of poses, and looks good doing all of them. The paint application is solid overall, although there is some spotty work, but noticed only up close. Unlike NECA’s 12″ figures, these won’t break when you move them. They are a bit stiff out out of the box, but they loosen up in a few minutes.

The figure iteself is sculpted very well and looks just like Chris. His machete is removable, and he comes with a shotgun and handgun. The uniform is nicely detailed, and the BSAA logo is awesome. The earpiece is also painted, and a nice touch, as is his stubble.

Basically if you are a fan of the series, make sure to pick this one up. After a few months, NECA ceases production and the prices skyrocket, like in the case of the RE4 figs. After being disappointed by the CE figure, and even the Hot Toys ($150) figure doesn’t look as great. For under $20, it’s a must have. Be sure to see the extra Customer pics I uploaded.
