The BK Lounge Super D Toy Review
Some people review movies, some music, some books, and some TV. I now submit that toys can be 'reviewed' as well, and offer my completely biased observations of the Episode 3 Burger King toys. (in no particular order... well... sorta)

I have put a * next to it if I need another one to play with!

(As you will be able to tell, I have a little trouble critiquing the Viewmaster toys... I guess it's because I'm not a proctologist. And really... how do you beat a Star Wars Viewmaster? I never had one until now, and now there's 6 of 'em!!! )

R2-D2 (Water Squirter) - Should have had a low power electric shocker
Tarfful (Stuffed) - Uh... who cares? The Wookies didn't need to be in Ep3.
*Han Solo (Wind-Up) - I really need an extra one in order to do a proper review. *nudge* *wink*
Darth's Tie Fighter (Pull-Back) - Tie for 2nd best Pull Back... great detailing.
Luke's Landspeeder (Pull-Back) - This hearkens back to the first SW vehicle toy I ever had (back in the day). So I love it.
Luke's X-Wing (Pull-Back) - Probably the best of the Pull Backs. Great articulation
Jar Jar (Water Squirter) - Perfect. It's like Lucas is spitting on you himself.
Darth Maul (Viewmaster) - Great detailing on the face
Anakin's Podracer (Pull-Back) - Wrong vehicle to pick for Ep1
Clone Trooper (Wind-Up) - Perfect application of the wind-up technology, very mechanical.
Boba Fett (Water Squirter) - Couldn't we have gotten some fire with this one?
Wicket (Stuffed) - How could you not like the cute little guy?
Millenium Falcon (Pull-Back) - Tie for 2nd best Pull Back... great detailing.
Watto (Wind-Up) - Too fun. Like the walking chatterering teeth.
Jabba (Water Squirter) - Duh... what else could you do with this one?
Jawa (Stuffed) - Light-up Eyes! LIGHT-UP EYES!!! Too sweet.
Boga (Stuffed) - err... okay. Probably had to have another Ep3 toy.
General Grievous (Wind-Up) - Needs more arms swinging 'sabers. And too goddam cute. General Goddamm Adorably Cuddly is more like it
Super Battle Droid (Water Squirter) - Probably have to have this one, as a regular Battle Droid would be to brittle
See Threepio (Viewmaster) - I hate C3PO. Always have
Jedi Starfighter - Again, probably had to have another Ep3 toy.
Emperor Palpatine (Water Squirter) - Yeah... makes sense.
Chewbacca (Stuffed) - Surface Wash Only.
Wampa (Stuffed) - Smiling?!?! I need a more snarly Wampa. With one arm, preferably.

Here's where a little bit of 'order' comes in... I like to call the following toys my Star Wars Nativity Scene. Starting with...

The Three Wise Men
Mace Windu (Viewmaster)
*Obi-Wan Kenobi (Viewmaster)
Yoda (Wind-Up) - Backflipping Yoda is probably the coolest toy since the Force FX Lightsaber. I have a bunch of them, and they always get stolen.

...and ending with...

The Holy Family
Luke Skywalker (Viewmaster)
Princess Leia (Viewmaster)
Padme Amidala (Wind-Up) - So regal, with a 'Do my little turn on the catwalk" wind-up action.
Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker - The frickin' Holy Grail of Super D toys!!! (oughtta had the breathing sound effect)

There ya go...
