"Please...no photos"
"You're Thor? I'm not, but I've got a little diaper rash."
"Be honest - does this hair style work for me?"
"Hey - isn't there something else on the menu around here?!?"

Packaging - ****
The package these two came in is quite the treat. Beautiful, well constructed, and with an
amazing pain threshold. She also puts up with a tremendous amount of my silliness,
which is always a plus.
Action figures like these must be removed from the package
though - no other way to truly appreciate them - but keeping the package with you for the
rest of your life is part of the beauty of the overall product.
Articulation - ****
Looking for fully articulated figures? Then these are for you!
More points of articulation than you can count, these babies can do just
about any position. The joints are a little loose at this point, and
holding a pose can be tough for them, but that growth action feature comes
into play once again, and before you know it these two will be striking
more poses than a Madonna wannabe on a Saturday night. Accessories -
****
Technically speaking, these figures don't come with any accessories.
But fear not, for your friends and family will shower you with all kinds
of unique and interesting accessories when they learn of your impending
'purchase'. You'll get tons of cool outfits, baby toys, baby
monitors, outfits, cribs, playpens, and quite a few more outfits.
Unfortunately, owning these figures requires purchasing plenty of
additional accessories over the course of time, but it's well worth it. Action
Features - ****
These two come with a number of action features, some more attractive than
others. Easily number one on the list is their amazing growth action
- they expand in size daily! This feature will continue to work for at
least 16 years, quite a feat! Less
appealing but nonetheless important are those features revolving around
the, uh, er, disposal of body waste. Both of these little ones are
clearly skilled in the arts of pooping and peeing - easily 8th degree
black belts, Grand Poop Masters if you will. Sculpting -
****
The sculptor did an absolutely fantastic job on these two.
Resemblance to the source material is excellent, although the sculptor was
wise enough to take only the good parts from each. Details on the
ears, toes and fingers is simply amazing! If MAC and McFarlane could
get this sculptor on their team, they'd be in heaven. Literally. Value -
****
These are by far the most expensive action figures you'll ever see.
Don't even begin to consider the cost of owning these over the next 22
years...yikes. But these figures provide more love, beauty and joy
than any other ever possibly could, so it all evens out to provide the
proud owners with plenty of value. Outfit -
****
These figures come to you in their birthday suits. Okay, so
technically there are some 'accessories' that come along with them, but
they aren't anything you'll be taking home. Ewww. And while
the outfits that your family and friends provide will be spiff, there's
nothing that will quite compare to the skin on these little buggers.
Soft and smooth, with a wonderful scent that perfume manufacturers could
never quite capture (most likely due to the odd mixture of, uh, aromas),
the skin of these rugrats will last them a lifetime, and provide them with
the best outfit they could ever have. Overall -
****+
I'm so impressed by this two pack that I've given them my highest rating,
****, with an extra plus in there. I can't recommend enough getting
one, two or more of these for yourself (although if you plan on going for
any multi-pack, be forewarned that the effort is, shall we say,
increased). I'm certainly glad we did!
