Hasbro Toys Reviews

The travel LiteBrite isn't that great. The pegs fall out easily if you tilt it at all. The storage compartment only just holds the pegs they give, so those are easy to spill. It doesn't come with any black paper, so the designs don't stand out as well as a real LiteBrite.Buy Hasbro Travel Lite Brite Set Assortment HSB7001!

MY little Toy Story lover goes no where without he Woody doll and now her Buzz Lightyear! He's cool, his helmet goes up and down and cool phrases! Great toy!Buy Toy Story: Search and Rescue Buzz Lightyear!

I really like this figure. He is a MUST if you are collecting all of the six bounty hunters in ESB. His outfit is very well made (although primarily plastic and a paint job)aside from the pack he has on his back which may fall off time to time if you mess around with him. But he poses great and if you just display them then don't worry about the pack falling off. Buy Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Dengar 12" Action Figure!

This figure is cool,fun and durable.It's hard to make him hold the gun,but he doesn't need it to be cool.Watch for IG-88 this fall!Buy Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Bossk Action Figure!

it has no wings!!! i am so glad i noticed this right before i almost purchased it! how can a buzz lightyear not have wings!Buy Disney Pixar Toy Story Backyard Deluxe Electronic Buzz LightYear!

This is an excellent toy. TO start off, It's much more durable than the other vehicles being released alongside with it (AT-TE, AT-AP, ARC-170, etc.) all the pieces stay together and is very simple to put together. With the doors open, I was able to fit 9-10 troopers on, without and remaining space. It also comes with spare missiles, should you lose any. get it quick, scalpers and fans alike are picking them up!Buy Star Wars Clone Wars Animated Series Exclusive Vehicle Republic Gunship!

This has got to be the worst transformer ever. We own a number of them, including several from the "Fast Action Battler" series (or whatever it's called). Where to begin? First of all, it comes with a lousy color, a bad grey for the exterior (even my wife, who's not into boys' toys as much said, "It's not very cool looking..."). Next, it is next to impossible to transform without an intricate, complex grip on the toy. The top of the truck detaches every time it is transformed unless you hold it perfectly, and then it is difficult to get back on. His arms are lousy, and detach often when you put them up high to fire the missile.
The only reason my kids ever play with it is because it's a truck, period. And they like trucks. There's no way a kid under 8 could do this. Get a different one like Smokescreen- he's the best one from this series.Buy Transformers Fast Action Battlers Pulse Cannon Ironhide!

Butterscotch had been at the top of our daughter's Christmas list for three years running. This year Santa was finally able to find room on his sleigh, and come Christmas morning no other toy mattered at our house.

We had some concern that this might be a little "young" for an 8 year old, but decided to take the chance when Amazon had it on special. We're so glad we did! Butterscotch has been played with daily for two months now with no sign that she's getting boring.

Notes:
The box has a big ol' picture of Butterscotch on the outside, so if this is a surprise, be sure to take delivery when the little ones aren't around. Have a large spot ready to hide the box - it's HUGE.
PLEASE assemble the horse prior to giving it to a child. The head is not attached in the box, and it's honestly sort of freaky. It creeped me out to open the main box and find a giant headless pony inside, and then again when I opened the smaller box inside which just held a pony head. Yikes!
Have a good screwdriver and some D cell batteries on hand before assembly. An extra pair of hands is helpful too; one person can assemble, but with two it's much easier.
This toy is really big, I can't emphasize that enough. Our 8 year old is nearly 5 feet tall and she can sit on it comfortably. You can't just tuck this in a closet; it really needs a good amount of storage space considering it's just one toy.

All in all, Butterscotch is an amazing toy. I don't even mind that she spends a lot of time in the living room, because she's frankly just as interesting to the adults as she is to the kid.Buy FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony!

I wonder if it ever bothers Banshee that in most folklore banshees are depicted as female? He should have picked a cooler name but I guess Screaming Man just wasn't good enough. That's right, Banshee is a mutant with the ability to scream so frickin' loud that he can fly. How does he fly you ask? Heck if I know but he can also knock you down and stuff so it's not a totally useless power. Anyway, the figure is not that bad. He does sport his weird (flying squirrel) wings on his costume that run from his forearms to his ankles. The wings are able to be removed if you desire. His head is sculpted into (wait for it) a screaming pose. Since that's his gig I think that's fine. He comes with a wing of Annilhius.

As far as the build a figure (BAF), Annihilus, goes he is an interesting mix. We've kind of been out of the whole extra big BAF's like Galactus and the Sentinel and others for a while now but the past BAF's have been just as good and are still really big guys meant to be in scale with the 6" Legends figures (not that Galactus really was in scale. Hey Hasbro, a big Celestial would be cool). I'd give Annihilus 4 stars overall. He has a really good sculpt with lots of detail and a great assortment of articulation points. He has extra big leathery wings, a menacingly alien face, clawed articulated hands and a pink (?) torso and gloves. Did I say pink? That's the only thing about this guy. For a real threatening Negative Zone alien also known as The Living Death That Walks, pink seems like a pretty feminine color. But maybe he's secure in his masculinity. In some areas he was shipped with an alternate purple color rather than the pink to man him up a bit but it's still pretty weird. Oh, well. Just be careful, if you are a perfectionist, that you don't mix up different colored parts.

I have three children 2,5,and 6. We have several board games. This one is perfect for my son who is almost 2-1/2. Perfect means that it is challenging and educational for him. The ducks have a color on the bottom of their eggs, which you need to match with the color on your "nest." He has learned when to stop his turn and allow me to take my turn. He has learned patience. The game was enjoyed by a 4-year old friend too. I enjoyed interacting with my son and playing the game too. The song that starts the game is catchy "duck, duck, goose, catch the little ducks that are on the loose, try to gather them all and put them in their nest" Buy Duck Duck Goose Game!

We bought this for our 18 month old for Christmas and she loves it...not much hassle assembling and easy to stow away. For the money, this is the best playhouse out there, had to buy the other table set and Nursery to compliment all of the house too, but well worth the money!Buy Hasbro Playskool Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage!
