Bratzillaz: Cloetta Spelletta!

If you thought we couldn’t stoop lower than My Little Pony love, BEHOLD: Scary-Crayon now reviews Bratz dolls. In our defense, the Bratzillaz subline looks pretty wicked — as you’ll see in this review of Cloetta Spelletta.  (12/5/12)

Freeze in place when you hear his terrifying roar!

THE TERROR OF TERROAR!!!

Dinosaur toys are a dime a dozen… okay, more like $12 a dozen, but still. Rarer, however, are articulated dinosaur figures. Terroar of Mattel’s Xtractaurs line is an exception — but is it a good toy? Read on to find out.  (12/10/11)

THE CLONE WAR FOR CYBERTRON

Sounds like a nerdy Wheel of Fortune solution, doesn’t it? Anyway, in this figure review, we take a look at Star Wars Transformers Crossovers Ahsoka Tano. Drift might have cool swords, but Ahsoka gets lightsabers.  (11/5/10)
