Tomy Pop-Up Pirate Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a speech/language therapist, working with pre-schoolers age 3-5. They love this game! The anticipation of the pirate popping holds their interest (long enough to do their therapy) and they don't have to wait long for another turn. I wasn't thrilled about taking a toy with swords to school, but have only had to tell them once that "we don't fight with them, they're for the game." It has been frequently used, not treated too gently, but it is still in excellent working condition. I do not use the blue base included with the game, it seems unnecessary and only seems to make the game easier to tip over. The kids don't think they lose when the pirate pops, they think they won! Sometimes he jumps out on the first sword stuck in the barrel, other times it might be the last one! (I have no idea how this happens!) This is a very good beginner game, for learning turn-taking, although it is not particularly educational.

Its a barrel of fun for the whole family! Push the pirate into his barrel, select your favourite color swords, then take turns sliding a sword into the barrel slots. But beware - if the pirate pops up you're OUT! The last remaining player is the winner. No batteries required.

Hasbro Transformers Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this more than 3 weeks ago in a supermarket near my house, which sells good quality toys. I was amazed when I first saw it but then became a little disappointed when I read it didn't "transform". However, I think this is only for decoration or to keep it as a collector's item. It's tall, durable; when you press a button he speaks and says: "It's time to stop some Decepticons", "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "Fire!" and one more line I still haven't figured out yet, since my mother tongue is not English. Interestingly, when he says these lines, you can see his eyes turning blue.Also, if you press a button he fires his right fist, and then you can put it back again. He has a gun or something like that on his left arm, which you can press and there's a light and sounf effect, which I find very cool. All in all, I love this toy. Good for kids and grown-ups. I love how it looks! My friends have seen it and they love it! Here in my country it costs more than 30 dollars, so you people have it at a good price. Don't miss it!

With the Hasbro Transformers Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime Action Figure, kids can take control of the fearless leader of the Autobots and rescue Earth from the ruthless Decepticons. Based on the character Optimus Prime from the 2007 summer blockbuster hit movie, "Transformers," this action figure has battle sounds and features galore. Recommended for ages 4 and up, Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime will let kids relive all of the movie's best scenes. Fearsome Sound Effects Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime totally immerses your child in the action by recreating sounds straight from the movie. His main feature is his fearsome stomping action -- every step he takes produces electronic crashing sounds. The sounds are so convincing that kids will think they're standing right next to a massive Transformer as he crushes everything in sight. He also makes a number of other sounds, which can be triggered at the touch of a button. Battle sounds and speech clips recorded straight from the movie make it all the easier to imitate favorite scenes. Sleek Design Perfect for kids and collectors alike, Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime features a sleek, movie-accurate design. Unlike other Transformer figures, this figure does not convert into vehicle mode, but instead stays in its powerful robot mode. With launching robot fists and punching action, he can make quick work of any Decepticon. His many points of articulation make it possible for kids to adjust him into any pose they like. In addition, Optimus Prime's eyes and chest light up for a cool mechanical glowing effect. About Transformers The Transformers began as a Hasbro toy line back in 1983, featuring toy vehicles that could transform into robots. The toys soon inspired an entire universe of fictional story lines, pitting the two factions of Transformers -- the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons -- against one another. A live-action movie based on the Transformers was released in 2007 and has continued the toy line's extreme popularity. With action figures such as Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime, kids can bring home the struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons.
