Unpopular Amazon Review

[JohnnyEgo]

I wrote a review for a Bat Girl figure I bought for my little boy last Christmas, when he was way, way, into Batman. She was a unique toy that sparked a lot of conversation in the Ego household, but sadly, she wasn't very durable. Wrote my review on Amazon, moved on with my life. Today, I got an email from Amazon regarding someone who had found my review 'unhelpful'. I had a few minutes on my hands, so I typed up a short reply. I know it is petty, but then again, so am I:

Your an idiot,, i would never buy a toy for a teenager to a toddler,,, that is your fault that she broke it.

I'd take you more seriously if you knew how to spell, capitalize, or use punctuation. Apparently your contextual reading skills aren't much better than your writing skills, because you also appear to have overlooked the fact that my child is a boy. But I digress.

Considering your own review of a Catwoman Figurine who's arm you broke off (http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/RWMI..._=glimp_1rv_cl), I suppose your father also made many poor choices in your upbringing. Perhaps he and I should form a club, wherein I could learn from him how not to raise a quasi-literate ingrate who substitutes a collection of action figures for a rich social life. For the sake of the gene pool as well as your action figure collection, I hope you never have children, and therefore never run the risk of desiring to please them in their poor toy choice demands.

And just for reference, here is the original review:

This review is from: DC Collectibles DC Comics - The New 52: Batgirl Action Figure (Toy)
The reason this is getting one star is that the BatGirl I received appears to suffer from the plastic equivalent of leprosy. Perhaps her bat suit was made from armadillo pelts. Within an hour of being opened, my four year old came to me with her hair in his hands. No problem, I thought. This is why God invented Super Glue. An hour later, her leg fell off. As I look at her on my desk, it looks like her foot is next to go. So at this point, I have a disappointed four year old and three pieces of BatGirl.

Were it not for her necrosis issues, I would have given BatGirl five stars for the quality of conversation she sparked around the Christmas tree alone. She is positively pneumatic. I'll admit that I do not know much about the BatGirl backstory, but I have some pretty good suspicions about how she paid her way through med school. Similarly, my guess is that her utility belt is filled with Ibuprophen to deal with the pain of crime fighting, or, say, light jogging. My wife asked 'where does she get such wonderful support garments?' If you think your child might develop body issues from GI Joe or Barbie, I'd leave this page right now.

If you are a 30 year old man who wants a woman in a box who can't talk back and will never leave you, this is an excellent choice. If you are buying this for a small child, I'd look somewhere else. All of this said, my four year old absolutely loved BatGirl, and no doubt she would have been one of his favorite toys both now and in 8-10 years from now, had she been a little more durable.

What a jerk!

I appreciate it when people take the time to review something. Not just because it helps make the decision to buy or not but sometimes there's helpful info for how something was used. I wouldn't slam anyone for an honest review.

found it, Liked your review, and checked the guy's other review... Too funny: I can infer that he is married to a big girl with a green finger!
