Hmmmm, is this review a good

Hmmmm, is this review a good excuse to start a fresh round of Liefeld-bashing, or is it too soon after the last one? I can't decide...

Who is this Liefeld you

Who is this Liefeld you speak of? I heard him mentioned elsewhere on CDX, but didn't understand the context of said-bashing.

You would have had to have

You would have had to have followed comics in the 90s to understand I guess...

And if you need further proof - I am not alone.

excellent

That's an excellent Liefeld take-down. There should be a sitcom where him and Alex Ross share a studio.

Oh my god, I think that's

Oh my god, I think that's the best idea I've ever heard! They could be like a modern day Abbott and Costello. Liefeld could go mincing around, shrieking "Hey Aleeeeeeex!!", and then Ross can slap him across the face and go "What's the matter with you?" (jeez, will anyone even get this joke?).
Seriously, I almost fell off my chair when I read yout comment, Enthusiast.

4:56

@ 4:56....This is the part where I stop playing this video review, grab me a bottle of Rolling Rock, and disappear. No offense guys, but seeing people spar w/ their regular action figures after the review gives me instant bordem.

Unless they're playing w/ Shogun Warriors. It's fun to see giant robots that shoots stuff!

Good review BTW as always.

Why

Why would anyone make a Shadowhawk toy? Who liked Shadowhawk? I always felt sorry for poor Jim Valentino, a decent artist in his own right, but painfully out of place at Image. And Shadowhawk was a joke.

I'm still holding out for a masterpiece Badrock. Ooh, or a set of Brigade figures! I expect JB will keep us apprised.

it's funny

That someone at the mwctoys also reviewed a shockertoys figure and the controversial company.

LOL

I actually found it amusing there at the end where your kid basically just throws the figures against the wall over and over. It put the display and the toys to the real test.
