Jack Kirby's New Gods are currently enjoying a surge in popularity -- and to capitalize on that interest, DC Direct is releasing new action figures of these classic characters! Here, we review the New Gods Darkseid. (5/13/08)
King Kong returns to Scary-Crayon -- this time in the first of a two-part Kong figure review! Here, we look at three of the 6" Kongs as well as the 11" Roaring Kong. Don't be fooled: some Kongs are better than others! (4/7/08)
In this awesome guest review, Tresob Yr of the Star Wars Action Figure Theater gives us a firsthand look at the unlicensed Kabaya Transformer Metroplex model. There's even a bonus mini-comic, so check it out! (3/18/08)
The new Series 2 Madballs aren't in stores yet -- but since Basic Fun was kind enough to send us a preview set, we're bringing you an advance review! This wave has its pluses and minuses, but the kids should dig it. (2/18/08)
The Madballs have finally returned, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Sure, they've changed over the years -- as seen in this review and comparison piece -- but they're still the same ghastly globes at heart... head. (12/18/07)
Okay, Street Blazers doesn't threaten death, but the toyline does inspire despair by offering no heroic sides in the race to decide the fate of Earth. In addition to discussing the line, we review the Dante 7" tractor trailer. (12/12/07)
QUICK CHANGE DINOBOTS! (Part 2)
Yes, Rawr and Ultra Gunk finally return in Part 2 of the Quick Change Dinobots review! This time, we compare them to their cousins from the Transformers universe. It's not exactly a fair comparison, but still... (11/7/07)
Yes, Scary-Crayon likes more than just boys' toys! Wes braves the awkwardness of buying tiny bendable girls and amazing technicolor beds in public so you can read about that groovy O'Ryan and her Bombastic Bed. (10/1/07)
QUICK CHANGE DINOBOTS! (Part 1)
In the first part of this two-part toy review, Scary-Crayon looks at two members of the four man machine Quick Change Transforming System Dino Robots team. Swoop wishes he had a cheap Big Lots counterpart too. (9/7/07)
Over the weekend of June 23, 2007, Chris Benoit shocked wrestling fans by killing his wife, his son, and himself. Yet in 2005, the Face Flippin' Chris Benoit figure prophetically depicted the two sides of the late WWE star. (8/7/07)
As noted previously on Scary-Crayon, Wes spent a few days in China in May 2007 -- and in Toys from Shanghai, he describes his experiences in the foreign toy shops and reviews his spoils. Toys have little holes, too. (6/21/07)
On January 25, 2004, Scary-Crayon first opened its HTML doors to the public. Now, three years later, we return to those early days... and to the action figure representations of one of the articles that started it all. Join us. (1/25/07)
In the final minutes of Christmas 2006, here's a review of the Transformatrix Optimus Prime knockoff! This $1 figure may not be up to par with Hasbro's latest releases, but he's hard to beat at such a low price. (12/25/06)
Leonardo's just flipping for joy on Scary-Crayon's second anniversary! In this comparison piece, we take a look at the Ninja Action Leo figures from the old and new TMNT lines and assess their flipping abilities. (1/25/06)
In this late movie tie-in, Scary-Crayon reviews Fantastic Four Z Cardz -- the cardz that turn into 3-D models! And they kinda suck, but what do you expect for thirty cents? Also included: A bonus comic-style adventure! (8/8/05)
Straight from the dollar store comes Best Friend Colton -- the creepy poseable blue-eyed doll who shops at outlet stores and lusts after men from afar. Everyone should have a best friend like Colton! (6/16/04)
Where's April? Good frickin' question! Read on to find out the answer in this first Scary-Crayon essay offering. And then join Leonardo as he embarks on a quest to recover April O'Neil for the glory of SC. (3/9/04)
