Hasbro Toys Reviews

I dont think this game comes with the best directions, I still have questions about how to play. Pieces appear to be durable though. If you have a child who enjoys littlest pet shop and is within the recommended age range for the game they will probably enjoy it. But you most likely wont.

"My four year old son has asked and asked for these from santa after playing hulk smash hands at his friends house. Great toy for a toddler boy who needs to let loose some energy, they are made to last and last and last! Pick up a punching bag and you are good to go!"Get more detail about Hulk Smash Hands.

I bought this lamp for my grandson and when he opened it up at his birthday party, not only he, but everyone there, was just mesmerized by it! It's so soothing, but yet cute. He wanted it because he has the alarm clock and the two things interact with each other. He's 10 and I think much younger kids would probably be too rough with the lamp.Get more detail about Room Tech Beingz Lamp - Yellow/Green.

for those of us who find the board game of Monopoly tedious and drawn out this version is the opposite. fast paced and no squabbling with the other players on who gets what property. this game is perfect for a twosome waiting for their plane or even their dinner at a restaurant.Get more detail about Monopoly Express.

I received this last night. This is the most awesome game idea ever!!! It's small, compact and it works awesome!!! The whole installation, hookup and downloading of (I think it was 5800) questions-all without the slightest problem whatsoever. I read all of these ratings prior to purchase and was sceptical, but for the $10 price I decided to risk it. I'm so happy I've already ordered 2 more for gifts! This is "hands down" my best purchase in years! I downloaded the ENTIRE KID'S EDITION of TP, the 90's Edition and ALL KINDS OF MISC. questions in a matter of minutes! NO CHARGE! Everything was so smooth (and fairly simple) I'm having a hard time believing these bad reviews are the game's fault at all. Here's the key here people: READ THE DIRECTIONS. The instructions that come with the game tell you where/what the buttons do and how to put the batteries in. It also tells you (on the box and about 5 other locations) TO GO TO THEIR WEBSITE to download the desktop application and further directions. When you get there click on the "Getting Started" link on the left side. You can probably print it out but I just minimized it to my tray while I clicked on the "Download", etc. and kept refering back to it when I needed to know what to do next. I had the application put a shortcut on my desktop, so when I minimized the web page I double clicked the icon and it started. (Vista kept telling me I "needed to format the disk", I just "X"d it out. XP probably does the same.) I connected the USB and turned "ON" the switch in the back. Bam, done. At first the application does look a bit intimidating but just READ THE DIRECTIONS! It's well worth the few minutes to learn how to use the program and then you see how easy it is! It's NOT one of those type's where you have to keep going back to the directions over & over. I hate that. Once is all you need! Also, while your downloading questions, etc. if it says "there's a problem" or "it's not connected" the game probably "timed out" (like it says it will in the instructions to save battery power) Just turn it "off" and back "on" again. Problem solved. I hope this has helped a few people. Especially those who are having problems with it. A+++++! Get more detail about Trivial Pursuit Digital Choice.

It's a nice set. The wood was scraped on the edges and the red material on the board was peeling when I received it.
I wasn't very impressed by the quality of the wood. I envisioned something of similar quality to my grandmother's scrabble board of the early 1980's but I guess things aren't made that well anymore.
I sent it back (Amazon was great as usual and I got my refund within 5 days of dropping it back at UPS).
I'll wait until the deluxe set goes on sale and see if I prefer the plastic over this lower quality wood.

Again, this is a decent set, but for the cost I thought that this would be a higher quality product. If you can get it on a good Amazon sale, it will be a good purchase.Get more detail about Scrabble Premier Wood Edition.

Its just too cute. Tooooooo cute, when it wiggles its ears and tilts its head from a good petting. My sister loves, she's been playing with it for a while, and became even more attached when I gave her some gemstone stickers and gold seals to stick on it. The learning curve is a bit high for too young of kids, but I guess that's half the fun. Figuring out how to start the memory "simon"-like game (pet it until a circle appears and then press one of them??) or scratch tunes (only when its attached to an mp3 player?) And my mom and sister love telling me not to pull its tail unless a player is attached or "robo jones will get mad". (The thing is SCARY!) If my sister forgets to turn it off, my mom asks my sister to "check on the cat" which of course needs his nose held down to turn off. The cat has become something like a part of the family that needs taking care of.

Not many problems yet. Haven't had to change it's batteries yet, so I don't know how long they last, but its been a while so far. There's a small crack in the plastic coating for inexplicable reasons. Seems a little delicate for rough play, but totally worth the money that the family spent on it. My sister does wishes she had the black one instead though.Get more detail about White-Hasbro i-Cat Robotic Music Loving Feline.

Okay, so for starters, I'm a huge Indy fan. I have waited a long time for an Indiana Jones action figure line with decent quality and many characters, and since I've collected Star Wars figures forever, I actually wanted them to be this 3 3/4 size too (granted, I prefer my other collectible figures to be 6 inches or so, but I don't usually get accessories or playsets for those). Well, with the 4th Indy film, which is way underrated in my opinion (fellow longtime fans should give it a second viewing before deciding yea or nay; I had to warm up to it myself but love it now), that long dreamed of action figure line finally arrived from Hasbro... to mixed reactions. I'm sure many complaints were about the small size of the figures compared to the now more popular 6 inch or larger action figures out there for adult collectors these days. And, let's face it, most Indy fans are adults who grew up with the original films. However, I think what put most people off of this new line is that many, MANY figures were released to stores with awful paint jobs. I mean TERRIBLE paint jobs, specifically in terms of the eyes. This was most noticeable in the Raiders figures, and Indiana more than anyone.

Now, in my case, I wanted to wait and make sure they made more figures, and I wanted to see if the price wouldn't go down a bit too. Figures are way overpriced these days. But, once I saw Last Crusade figures on the shelves (along with a price drop of a couple of bucks), I dived in. A few of those first figures I bought I have previously reviewed, and let me tell ya, those ones I selected had excellent face sculpts! Of course, with huge, cartoony eyes painted on some of the figures, it would sure be difficult to notice the sculpting underneath. So, combine those first bad impressions with the fact that young kids just don't seem to "get" Indy (yeah, it was the second biggest film this past year, but the toys sat on shelves till the figures hit 3 bucks recently, and they're still moving slowly with a few character exceptions), and you end up with the problem I'm having now. I have wanted a Short Round figure to stand next to my Indy figure forever (a desire carried over from my original Kenner Indy figure), and it seems those Temple figures are only going to be available online now, for those of us in the states, at outrageous scalper prices since the first couple of rounds of figures sold so poorly. And to add insult to injury, the Elsa and Colonel Vogel figures have been in extremely short supply since day one. Man, I want an Elsa!

Anyways, as I searched fruitlessly for Elsa and the Temple figures this weekend at the big U.S. retailer who recently cut the price on these figures down to clearance levels, I did increase my total collection count to 14 (hope to add more before they're gone, too), as my second main focus was on Raiders of the Lost Ark figures, which I'd bought none of yet. I ended up with a nice number of Raiders characters, including an Indy with a good paint job and a decent Marion also, plus the figure I'm going to talk about here, the Cairo Swordsman.

You may remember this guy from the famous scene in which Indy responds to flashy swordsmanship with a well placed bullet. If you managed to get the jacketless, sweaty Indy figure (I still need that one myself, he's become one of the tough ones to find), set him up with the Cairo Swordsman for a great display! As I mentioned before, these figures have great detail, but you definitely have to check out the paint jobs and find a good one. The same figure can look amazing or awful depending on how the face is painted. The Cairo Swordsman is not as articulated as some of the figures. He can still be posed well, but with the stiff plastic of his robe, there was little point in making his knees bend, so they simply don't, nor do his ankles. He is also rather shy in the accessories department, as he only comes with his sword and secret artifact. Each figure comes with a different artifact in a paper crate, though they seem to be sized for 6 inch action figures like the one the Disney theme parks recently started carrying.

Regardless, the Cairo Swordsman is a great Indy villain figure to add to your collection. He's not a major character, but he's from one of the most memorable scenes and is really nicely sculpted here. A good choice for play or display as opposition to the greatest movie hero of all time!

We got this for our 6 year old nephew for Christmas and he really got into it. I think the adults enjoyed it as much as he did. "quick pass" and "youre out" were definite favorites of the games it does. You need to put the colored plastic part on the inside of your hand to make sure the ball registers your color when you catch it, on the wrist is not good enough.Get more detail about Cosmic Catch - Colors May Vary.

I purchased this game so my kids would not be watching TV all the time and get their brains going. My 5 year old even joins in too. The whole family loves to play on a Sunday. Kids get to guess and draw and have fun without tv or video games! Get more detail about Pictionary Jr.

This is a beautifully executed Monopoly game. The houses and hotels have been physically changed to be piers, casinos,restaurants and parks as you develop your properties on a tropical island. These are not houses and hotels that have been recolored and renamed. This game is different because it also uses a DVD to further the game. In all, a very nice set up, and a hard game to find in the stores. It is reasonably priced here on Amazon, and is a good game to add to your collection. Beware of Monopoly games that are marketed as "collector's editions, fully customized" when in fact, all that's changed are the property names, the money and six tokens. If the houses and hotels are not changed but just colored differently: that doesn't make it a fully customized game. Look for Indiana Jones Monopoly, Sephora, the Blue Boxed Looney Toons, Pirates of the Carribean (first issue)and Star Wars Clone Wars for fully changed games. Even Sponge Bob SquarePants rated a FC game!

Although my son is just 8, he loves the I-CY. Mainly because he loves music, it's electronic, dances and has lots of flashy lights. So far so good. It hasn't broken, fairly durable, but runs out of batteries easily. You have to read about how to turn the thing off, it's not obvious, or you'll go through batteries like crazy.Get more detail about Hasbro I-CY.

My sun loves this ball. It has held up pretty well for playing in the street. It is a little worse for wear but still flying strong. The light weight and softness is nice for the younger players to handle.Get more detail about Hasbro Nerf NFL Pro Grip Football NY Giants.

Overall I really love this product. I even had a Baby Alive doll myself when they first came out in the seventies. They are much nicer now. The only reason I would not give this item great ratings accross the board is because buying the food can get really expensive. The doll is really fun to play with so kids like to feed it several times a day. That can get really pricey. I know some people use food coloring and water as a substitute but that does not have the baby food consistency that the kids love. The best recipe I have found so far uses a health food item.

I am a Monopoly fanatic so this was a must buy for me. I love the game because its great to play when you have a little free time. I play it at break on lunch a lot. I wish there was a little more depth to the game but it is still a lot of fun!Get more detail about Monopoly Deal Shuffle Shaker.

Anyways, as I searched fruitlessly for Elsa and the Temple figures this weekend at the big U.S. retailer who recently cut the price on these figures down to clearance levels, I did increase my total collection count to 14 (hope to add more before they're gone, too), and one of the main priority figures I did manage to find (though with a wee bit of difficulty) was the basic Raiders Indy figure. These were not hard to find at all before the figures went on clearance, and they even had playsets with very basic looking Indys out there. However, it was the holidays and money was tight. The other issue with this one is that big paint job issue. As I said, this is the one I saw most often with big ol' cartoon eyes, and poorly painted ones at that. However, if you check out enough of these figures, you're sure to find some that are actually painted correctly, and while the sculpt is nowhere near as good as the one for the Last Crusade and Crystal Skull Indy figures, it's more than passable considering all the detail that has gone into these figures. Seriously, these things are tight! From Indy's weathered leather jacket to his weapons and accessories, if you get one of these figures with a great paint job, you should be very pleased.

They're well articulated too! I count approximately 18 points of articulation on this particular figure, and he comes with 5 accessories and a special mysterious artifact surprise (at this point, I forget which figures came with which "mystery item", but suffice to say that each character comes with something different, and they're pretty cool relics but are sized for something larger, like maybe that new 6 inch or so Indy figure at Disney World). The accessories are Indy's trusty gun and whip, his MKVII gas mask bag, an action-posed alternate whip, and the golden idol he quested after in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Notable features with this Indy figure are a working gun holster and the fact that his hat is not removable. Most of them don't have removable hats, but I point it out here because some do. Frankly, these are better. The ones with removable hats look silly if you put the hat on, because their hats look too big on them. They look cool holding their hats though.

To sum up, this figure is really pretty sweet with lots of cool attributes, IF you make sure to check out the paint jobs and pick one that you like. I've seen the big eyes problem with the Marion figure too, and probably others. A few figures, like Marion, don't really capture good likenesses, but even those are nice figures if you get ones with decent paint jobs, and some figures just look amazing (like the Grail Knight, Indy's dad, Young Indy, and the Crystal Skull and Last Crusade Indys). But, of course, this classic Raiders Indy figure is a MUST for your collection.

This is a good toy. I had a little trouble getting the straps right, but it worked out okay. Also, the voice changer practically doesn't work but it echoes a little. It's a little oversized, and not TOO realistic. Overall, it's a little heavy, but it's a good toy for an 11 and under kid. Get more detail about Star Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer Helmet.

My 18 month old really WANTS to play with this toy, but the tracks won't stay together long enough for him to enjoy it. I have to CONSTANTLY reattach the tracks on top and bottom. IF he doesn't touch the tracks at all, it works fine. But as soon as he bumps it, or tries to move it everything falls apart. My sister, however, has this toy for her son and have never had any problems with the assembly failing. Had I known sooner, I definitely would have exchanged it for a new one. Too late now.

We received this toy as a gift for my 16 month child and found out early on that the magnet is NOT attracted to any metal of any type. So being the tinker that I am, I took the magnet section apart to find that THERE IS NO MAGNET IN THERE! There was just 3 washers (like the metals discs with holes in the middle of them) and they weren't magnetized at all. I tried sticking one of my own magnets in there but I do not have a strong enough magnet. It just didn't work. Unfortunately since I have taken it apart already, I cannot send it back, but maybe I can convince some of you to NOT BUY THIS TOY!Get more detail about Hasbro Playskool Tonka Rumblin' Rollin' Crane.
