Playskool Heroes: Spider-Man Flip-Out Stunt Buggy

December 7, 2012 by Momstart 5 Comments

Playskool Heroes Spider-Man Flip-Out Stunt Buggy

By: Ashley

There really is something innate about most boys that draws them to the trucks, tractors, and cars. When you add a cool looking superhero to the mix, it just makes it even better. Atticus actually got a Spider-Man Flip-Out Stunt Buggy for his birthday back in June, so when I saw another one in the box of toys to donate, I knew I had to make sure I featured it.

clip_image002My boy is one of those boys who loves anything with wheels and this Spider-Man “truck” (as he calls it), is no exception. To be honest, when he first got it on his second birthday, it didn’t make his list of top toys. I think that’s really because he was still a little young for it. He didn’t quite have the motor skills to get Spider-Man on the buggy (he can stand on the outside thanks to a magnetic foot hold) and couldn’t really get the hang of flipping the car to make it go. That makes sense though, especially since the recommended age bracket for this toy is 3-6 years old. Now, not even six months later, he could play with this for a long time and not get bored.

 

So what are the great things about the Spider-Man Flip-Out Stunt Buggy? I like the flip and roll concept. It may sound unrealistic, but they have done a great job designing this buggy to be an acrobatic stunt car. Even with Spider-Man inside, it can do a nice flip on the road and then keep on going. I also love the Spider-Man can actually stand on the outside of the car. I can’t forget to mention that with a suggested retail price of just $12.99 it’s a super cool toy that won’t break the bank.

With the popularity of comic book characters these days, and the unavoidable love of things that go, the Spider-Man Stunt Buggy is definitely a good option for preschool and young school age kids.

Holiday Round Up WowWee Toys The Whole Line Up

December 13, 2011 by Momstart 4 Comments

When I was at the Time To Play Holiday Showcase one of the brands there was WowWee. And WowWee they are amazing. They sent us a box of toys to share with all our friends I’m amazed at their product line. They cover girls, boys from age 3 and up. We’ve played with their Paper Jamz before and loved them. Now the Paper Jamz has a Pro series and it’s sure to bring twice the fun if not 3 times the fun. So from chords to strings and even a drum set.

image

The one thing I didn’t like about Paper Jamz was that it only played chords along with all that rock music. Paper Jamz Pro has chord ability making it much more like a guitar than originally. Plus, this may sounds like something odd to write about but I love the new packaging. The packaging on the Paper Jamz pro makes the toy guitars look like a more expensive toy in a way that makes me want to buy them.

My husband has a great time checking out the drum set. With the drums you can freestyle by creating your own killer drum solos or lay your own rocking beats over your favorite songs. You can also put it on Beat Machine and remix beats on the fly Of course you can also customize your drums by adding your favorite music with the free Paper Jamz Pro app And use the 3 built-in kits to change drum sounds or download new ones. Miles could play with this for hours, he loves music and making noise by banging on things. He has since birth.

Lite Sprites use color and light to express their moods and feelings. Each Sprite has her own personality and domain in the natural world. The Sprite Sisterhood includes: Prisma, Astra, Meadow and Brooke. Bleak, the naughty Sprite, rejects color and uses her powers to eliminate or disrupt color in Lite-Topia.

image

There are now five different play sets in the Lite Sprite line. The Swing Playset, The Windmill playset, the Waterfall playset, The Flower playset and now the Tree of Life.

image

The Tree of Lite is the place where the Sprites hang out. Scaled to interact with the rest of Lite-Topia, the Tree of Lite is alive with color, lights, sparkle and sounds. Visit Litesprites.com to explore the world of Lite-Topia!

The Sprites cast and catch color and light from their Sprites friends and play sets to express their emotions. Of course the girls love them. Zoe thinks they’re adorable. And the wand, oh my goodness, our neighborhood is full of little princesses and a wand is often in their hands. The Lite Wand is the “heart” of the play experience it’s the keeper of the colors. Which adds to the play time because the Wand is the medium for sharing color throughout Lite-Topia.

image

Light Strike has four possible teams, hold down the team color change button to change teams, very brightly colored, huge hit with the boys. I actually love how colorful it is and if you think it’s colorful like I do just wait until you turn it on. Then all the lights come up and the gun makes lots of fun sounds that the kids will love. Of course, it does make sneaking up on your opponent a little difficult.

image

This is a photo of the I.T.S. (Intelligent Targeting System). I had fun shooting it and watching myself get to the top for my team. You can play with others and team up for Capture the Flag matches with the I.T.S.  The I.T.S. rotates for added challenge which is pretty cool. and it has multiple built-in games that reward winning team with strategic advantages.

  • Sentry mode: I.T.S. scans for enemies and blasts them
  • Medic mode: I.T.S. regenerates health
  • Bomb mode: I.T.S. sends out explosive burst of damage to enemies
  • Interactive lights and sounds that put you on the battlefield

Check me out playing the the laser gun.

There is so much to say about all the toys. We had a great time exploring them and I know that your kids will love them too. Lights and sounds seem to make all kids happy, And WowWee is great at putting the two together in a none annoying way.

We donated all of the toys to a local charity at the end of this review. It was an amazing collection of toys and I thank WowWee for allowing us to have such a fun experience testing them out and giving them away.
