Munkey Games is a store with a hilarious slogan.  They're supposedly taking over the world with toys.  Upon investigation of their website, it looks like their claim has some merit.  Munkey Games has so many interesting toys that the sheer number could populate most of the world's households!  Think about it.  Harry Potter, 300, the Simpsons, Rocky IV, Final Fantasy, Reservoir Dogs, Tomb Raider, Halo, and Street Fighter are all great movies and games - fun, memorable, and embedded in our cultures through the popular media and global appreciation.  Nowhere else can you find so many of the greatest movies' and games' characters in action figure form.  The avid Harry Potter fan will shout with glee at seeing Harry as a portable, life-like action figure.  It's just so much cooler than a book.  If you like Homer Simpson, how better to show him off than a big doll on your book shelf when someone comes into your room.

There's so much selection that even Japanese games like Dark Stalker, Metal Gear Solid, and Dead or Alive have 1/2" action figures. 

The storefront is divided neatly into floating clouds of slate gray with rounded corners.  Paths and sections don't criss-cross - which can be confusing to web interfaces.  In other words, there are separate sections for a quick search, advanced search, categories, manufacturers, store information, shopping cart, important links, featured products, new products, notifications, reviews, have you seen ..., and the ubiquitous tell-a-friend box.

This site promotes Firefox because it's the best browser, and the team at Munkey Games at least have more than a modicum of taste and etiquette in designing such a beautiful site.  Unlike other sites, it's also faster.  No crummy HTML tables or huge pictures that take eons to view.  This site is smooth.
