I wish Peonies bloomed all summer long!
I wish Peonies bloomed all summer long. They are so lovely, so delicate and oh so short lived! My peonies are long gone … they finished blooming in late June, but I just realized that I never posted a photo of my Peonies. I only took pictures of my Peony Pecher Peonies this year. My Karl Rosenfield Peonies bloomed, but we were going through a very rainy period when they bloomed and then right after that it finally warmed up here in Toronto at the end of June and the blooms faded fast … too

4 Stars MP-05 Megatron Transformer
This is a great addition if your a collector!! the pieces are plastic and some metal. not a toy for the kiddies… only the grown up ones that remember the 80’s! I Love the level of difficulty to transform this figure. I haven’t had a challenge like that ever!!
5 Stars Awesome tribute to the original series
This is a great toy, specially for those fans o the original series and his walter p-38 g1 desing. This is a must buy if you are the proud owner of a master piece optimus prime.
4 Stars For True Transformer fans only!
I was so excited when I got my MP-05 Megatron, the first thing I did was try to transform it. I really did not read the instructions at all, and was able to get most of the process down. The only thing that confused me was getting his lower half to fit in his alternate mode, but once I found out his leg pieces can swing backwards, it was fine.
Some reviews have said that the toy is made of cheap parts and is very delicate. I am always careful transforming my figures, so this was never a problem for me. It needs to be transformed a few times, so the kinks can get worked out, some of the joints are indeed tight the first time. It is also bulky, but you can remove some of the armor pieces when transforming it and put them back on to make it easier. The figure is mostly plastic, which was a bit of a letdown, especially for the price. It is also much larger than I suspected, so if you want to display this, make sure you have room.
Overall, I think this is a great figure, you can pose it pretty well, and the articulation is on point. If you are careful, you should be able to transform it as often as you like without worries. I think the price was a little high, so I will not be getting another masterpiece to add to my collection, but this was the only one I was really interested in anyway. I give it 4 out of 5 stars!
5 Stars Megatron
Wow, this is an awesome version of Megatron, however it took about an hour to transform the first time with the instructions! Very complicated and lots of small parts, some of which can come off easily.
5 Stars aj

Sienna Miller: Sienna Miller almost set her breasts on fire
Hollywood actress Sienna Miller nearly burnt her boobs while shooting for her new movie. The 27-year-old actress, who plays femme fatale The Baroness in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, nearly set her breasts on fire after getting too close to an explosion. “Luckily it wasn’t my breasts, it was the bit in-between,” the Sun quoted Miller as saying. “It got a bit burnt when an explosion got a bit close,” she added. Miller also revealed that she hated wearing her character’s figure-hugging clobber

2009 Comic-Con [Wrap-Up]: Chuck Versus San Diego Comic-Con
So this is late but better late than never right? Enjoy my thoughts on the panel. As I mentioned in my previous article about the Chuck panel, the line was so long and I was so far back in it that I missed the first 20 minutes, which means that I missed the show-stopping performance by “Jeffster.” Totally bummed about that one. You can see a video of it here . First of all, the panel consisted of the show’s creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak and almost the entire cast: Zach

5 Stars Fun Scooby-Doo characters
These characters, with the matching Mystery Machine (sold separately), are good, fun toys for my little one. Look just like the characters in Scooby-Doo. Good quality. My son is 3-1/2 years old and enjoys the set, but it may not be too entertaining for older kids because it doesn’t do anything except what the imagination can think up.
5 Stars 4yo loves them
we haven’t had any problems w/durability or smell but if we’d known to get them cheaper we would have. other than that, they are great action figures. they bend in all sorts of ways (especially scooby) and we and our daughter love playing with them. the van is a little lame though.
5 Stars Much Cheaper at Toys R Us!!!
These figures are great, but Amazon prices are not always the best. Toys R Us has the set for $16.99, a considerable savings over the cost when orered from Amazon vendors.
4 Stars Fantastics figures!!!!
The figures a really nice, the quality isn’t the better, but my son loves it, he spens a so many hours playing with this toy. Well, he is fanatic of this cartoon.
5 Stars Fun and Cute!
My 5 year old son loves Scobby doo. These figures(along with the van) are the perfect toys for him, He’s had this for about a year and still plays with it everyday. They pretty much go everywhere with us. They are really durable and have held up really well and believe me..My son is rough on things. These are well worth the money and really fun!

9 Mysterious Ape-men from Around the World
Most of us in the US are familiar with the cryptid Sasquatch (or Bigfoot) and its Asian counterpart the Yeti (or Abominable Snowman). Those are far from the only mysterious giant apes or hominids lurking in either deep forests or our imagination. In fact, such rarely-seen animals are reported all over the world. Let’s take a look at just a few of their lesser-publicized cousins. 1. Almasty The Almastys roam the Caucasus mountains of central Asia. Dr. Marie-Jeanne Koffmann collected o
