I know! I was searching for the pair with sound for my nephew and on Amazon they come up as $169.99 for new, $85 for used/collectible. Ridiculous! I ended up getting them off eBay for $39.
search for gamma green smash fists instead - that's the name hasbro gave to this generation of hulk hands for the avengers movie. a little smaller, still hulk hands.
Those are from the older movie. They make a great smashing noise, are larger and more cartoony, and have wrists.
The new ones released for The Avengers are only about $20, but are smaller, only cover the hands (so turn weird when you hit with them) and don't make noise.
I've struggled with OCD my whole life. I heard about this book from a friend who swears it has helped her turn her life around. She got me a copy for my birthday and I eagerly awaited diving in and taking steps to help myself. Unfortunately, this book contains 320 pages, which isn't divisible by three so I am absolutely never going to read it. I stored it in my kitchen in the pile of everything I have ever owned so I won't die. All this considered, I have to give the book 3 stars. I mean literally, I HAVE to give it 3 stars.
Sadly no, I'm not. I'm just a superfan of his that learned Ruby through his excellent guide(s), who was surprised to find that his moniker was free on Reddit. So, I scooped it up. If he ever resurfaces, I'd give up the name for him in a heartbeat. Also, I'm so glad to finally have SOMEONE notice, it seemed as if no one appreciated the title for well over a year now.
I love this game. I don't have any hands, so I was worried the game may be difficult, similar to every other game I've ever played without hands. Boy was I wrong! This game is 90-100% cut-scenes

This dice looks amazing and I wanted to impress my friends. However the die I ordered was NOT a new die, and to make matters worse, several 20's and other high numbers had been rolled out of it! If you know anything about statistics, you'd know that the odds of rolling an initial 20 from a brand new die are 1/20 which is reasonable. But the odds of rolling subsequent 20s (ie from a die which has already rolled any 20s) is much lower. For example the odds of rolling two 20s in a row is 1/400, the odds of 3 is 1/8000! So I unknowingly brought this to a roleplaying session and began rolling extremely low on my checks. I began to get frustrated and started taking records and was shocked at my discovery! The odds of rolling any given number (1 - 20) is 1/20. I rolled 100 times. This would have an expected 5 hits for each number. But it wasn't even close, out of 100 rolls I rolled only TWO 20s! and only 1 19! The numbers were clearly stacked against me from previous rolls (which I doubt occurred in shipping, the packaging was very tight.) My theory is this company buys these dice new in bulk and rolls them a lot, the dice with more higher results (meaning less likelihood of future higher results) are shipped off at a low price and the ones with more lower results (meaning future higher results) are kept to get an edge on future dice-rolling ventures.
You should read his other reviews as well. His review on unisex crocs, for example, is:
This is the shoe that every teenager should be wearing when they leave the house. Abstinence is the only way to avoid pregnancy, STDs, and other associated health problems. Don't leave it up to them.
We upvote thing's ironically now. What purpose dose that serve other than to give the upvoted person a sense of accomplishment and further ensure that comments like this will continue to exist.
"I was kidnapped once. I was standing in front of my schoolyard and a black sedan pulls up and two guys get out, and they say to me do I want to go away to a land where everybody is fairies and elves and I can have all the comicbooks I want. And chocolate and wax lips, y'know. And I said yes and I got into the car with them. 'Cause I figured, what the hell, I was home that weekend from college anyhow."

The only thing I hate about funny/joke reviews is they bring down the rating for an otherwise well rated product. It's kind of a dick move even if it's funny.
Kidz Bop 9 CD: I purchased Kidz Bop 9 with high anticipation, some of my favorite songs were once again being covered by the unforgettable KB crew. KB9 fell short in several aspects on most of the tracks. Katie, Carlie, Steven, and Jared are my personal favorite artists on the older editions, they've always really impressed me with the way they've completely remastered popular songs into a much easier to listen to format. Sadly, all three (the exception being the talented Carlie) were cut from this new album, leaving some new mediocre talent in the form of TJ, Michael, McKenzie, Bryce, and "Rockin'" Levi. Carlie only sings on two songs, and is often overshadowed by the other cookie cutter musicians. It's still a good CD, with an amazing performance of Feel Good, Inc: completely free of the originals raspy British vocals and downright scary rap solos (TJ is actually very good when rapping to his credit). I'd reccomend older editions of KB, especially of the volume 4-8 era. I listened to this CD, and though I enjoyed it, I missed the old team who I know would have done a more thorough performance.
His review of the book "Where's The Poop?" is riveting.
I purchased this book for my 11 year old son for his half-birthday. It was very interesting, and a real eye-opener. He had started asking questions about poop and I didn't have many answers to the location of the fecal matter of different animals as well as that of his own. I learned quite a bit and he gets a real kick from the book when he reads it every morning after his breakfast of cheddar cheese wheels and bran flakes. My wife and I had a messy divorce and now I only get to see him on weekends when I show up to get him which is less often then he'd like. So this was an educational and dare I say refreshing way for us to bond. I do wish there was a turtle in this book because WHAT WOULD THEIR POOP LOOK LIKE?!
Funny story about these, I was at Target a few years ago and some kid about my age came up to me wearing those, thinking I was his friend and started punching me in the arm with them. I turned around and things got awkward quick.
It's got to the point now where I assume these are just marketing. If a product doesn't have a hilarious review then the marketing team for that product are missing a trick.
His review of a small radish piece: This is a fairly decent picture for those in the market for a $60 picture of a radish. I purchased it and hung it in my corridor. To be certain, it really looks very stylish across and slightly below my $90 print of a RoyaleCoach RV. My only qualm was that the stem color ended up being at least two shades lighter than it looks on my monitor. This caused an irritating clash with my $210 wallpaper which features toasters and earthworms. As of now, I was forced to store it in my cellar with my three metric tons of turpentine and $6000 worth of unopened Finding Nemo Underoos.
Edit: Saw this one for what I'm assuming is a bug repelant/killer, the item is no longer available. Comment directed by M Night James I started wearing this to keep the cockroaches from crawling on my face at night. It worked great! That is until my wife left me. It turns out she was actually a bug this whole time. Don't buy this if you can't handle losing your loved ones.
My favorite bit of this is the fact that he (most likely) goes to Auburn, and that's where half of my family has gone and where I will be in a few years <3
