Yep, new toy review — this time of the Buzzsaw Samurai from Jazwares’s 6″ Astro Boy movie line. He’s a decent enough figure, and I really like the design, but he’s certainly not amazing. Kids will likely disagree.
And Halloween is on the way! Admittedly, I have no plans to do any explicitly Halloween-themed content, but I don’t feel bad about that — this is Scary-freakin’-Crayon, after all, and it’s always like Halloween here! That said, there are a lot of other sites breaking out special Halloween layouts, so check out the sites in the links block to the right for some additional spooky flavor. In particular, Articulated Discussion‘s got some cool Scare of the Night photographs coming in addition to its temporary Halloween layout (I’m hoping to share some spooky guest content over there as well; I’ll keep you posted!), and Infinite Hollywood‘s rocking some Halloweeny goodness as well. Speaking of that site and today’s review figure, IH reviewed the 3.75″ Astro Boy a week and a half ago — so if you were thinking about picking that figure up to pair with the Buzzsaw Samurai, you might want to read that article.
Okay, that’s all for now. Hopefully we’ll have more content for you soon!
P.S. When I’m fooling around with the css and manage to break stuff on the site, you guys have to tell me! Otherwise I’ll never know until I happen to notice the errors… which sometimes takes a while even when they’re staring me in the face. 😛
Thanks for the plugs. You sold this figure to me, BTW.
And in the ultimate sting on the ol’ pocket book, I got him on sale today at TRU for $7.99!
All their Astro Boy figures are 20% of in celebration of the movie I guess.
I’ll probably review him soon and I’ll give you some linkage. Although I don’t know exactly when I’ll review it cause I got a few other reviews lined up first with the Halloween theme. We shall see!
