Holiday Gift Guide – Spirit Riding Free Toys

November 25, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Spirit Riding Free

I always love to bring you new toys that you might want to consider for the holidays. This year, if you are a fan of Spirit Riding Free there are a ton of great tpys that are available that will bring out the creativity in kids of all ages. If you have a child that loves the Netflix Spirit Riding Free show then these toys are exactly what you will be looking for.

 

Below are a few of the toys that were sent to me for review. As you can see, these toys will bring out the creativity in your own kids and will allow them to immerse themselves in the Spirit Riding Free world. Whether you are interested in expanding your Playmobil universe with Spirit, you want to read a Spirit Riding Free book or you want to allow your child to create world of their own, these toys will do just that.

Some of the toys even have some amazing sound effects that really make the experience real. Check out below what Spirit can do!

These toys do allow you and your child to immerse yourselves within the world of Spirit which is something that I love to allow my daughter to do. These toys really push a child to experience the on TV world in their own mind and even in their own bedroom.

My daughter was a HUGE fan of all of these toys as she loves the Netflix series too. She collects Playmobil and she was not even aware that the set that was sent to us existed. You can bet that she quickly put this set together and it looked great and is not completely connected into the Playmobil world that she has for herself.

If you are interested in any of these for yourself, check them out at the below links (I’ve added a few other toys into the mix as well:

  • Lucky and Spirit Playmobil set
  • Lucky’s Dad with Covered Wagon Playmobil Set
  • Lucky’s House Playset, Playmobil Set
  • Spirit Riding Free Just Play Toys
  • Spirit Riding Free: Abigail’s Diary

Holiday Gift Guide – Playmobil To The Rescue!

December 20, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Playmobil

 

Are you looking for two new Playmobil sets that are both affordable and fun? Consider the two below, as they are both a ton of fun and encourage kids to use their creativity and imagination.

My youngest daughter has been a huge fan of Playmobil for years and these sets were the perfect price for our pocketbook and you get a lot of things with each of them that can be used either with only this set or with mixed into other sets too.

Playmobil

PLAYMOBIL Advent Calendar “Jewel Thief Police Operation” (9007):  Looks like a thief is after the jewels, but the police are in pursuit! The Advent Calendar “Jewel Thief Police Operation” with lots of glittering trinkets contains twenty-four surprise items for each day leading up to Christmas. Once all the pieces are revealed, play out an exciting police chase and capture! For an extra surprise, the included safe can be used a piggy bank! Includes backdrop, two figures, jewelry case, police motorcycle, gold bars, money, handcuffs, wanted poster, functioning safe, and tons of other accessories.

My daughter specifically loved the safe and the small tools that come with this. This was a ton of fun to put together and I loved to see how she incorporated this with a few other sets that she has!

PLAYMOBIL Advent Calendar “Royal Ice Skating Trip” (9008):  Glide across the frozen lake with the royal family! The Advent Calendar “Royal Ice Skating Trip” contains twenty-four surprise items for each day leading up to Christmas.

This set was another fun one, as every day in December you get to open up a new surprise.

In all you are getting a ton out of this one set that can be used in so many different ways!

This kit was a lot of fun to put together.

We had a ton of fun working on this and the end product was something that not ony looks good, but also runs too.

Voltron Legendary Defender Toys Brings Voltron To Life!

February 4, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Playmates Toys, Voltron Legendary Defender toys.

 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

I have been a HUGE fan of Voltron ever since it came out in the 1980’s. I was excited to find out that Netflix came out with a new series from DreamWorks Animation, Voltron Legendary Defender, which debuted as a Netflix original series in June 2016. he series is a contemporary reimagining of the pop culture phenomenon featuring five young pilots of mystical robot lions that combine to form Voltron, the most powerful defender in the universe. I watched a number of the episodes and was really impressed with the quality and the story that was being shared.

Playmates Toys, Voltron Legendary Defender toys.

Recently I have even seen that there are a number of very cool toys that surround the new Voltron series. I received a few of the new Playmates Toys, Voltron Legendary Defender toys.

Playmates Toys, Voltron Legendary Defender toys.

The collection from Playmates Toys, which hit shelves at select retailers nationwide this month, features a wide range of action figures and roleplay including:

  • The highly detailed and articulated basic action figure assortment includes all of the heroes and villains of Voltron, and each figure comes equipped with incredibly fun action features.
  • The Legendary Lion assortment includes all 5 Lions that can combine to unlock unique phrases and sounds from the show and form a 16” articulated Voltron figure.
  • The 14” Ultimate Voltron Figure features electronic lights, sounds, incredible detail, articulation and more.
  • The roleplay assortment includes Voltron and Red Lion masks and swords, as well as an electronic transforming version of Voltron’s sword.

As mentioned I received a few of these and have to say that the toys are amazingly lifelike and very true to the series. The toys’ limbs move easily and I found that they made me want to go out and find the other four lions that I had not yet collected to be able to form the full Voltron character. While I have yet to do this, I hope to still do this soon.

Playmates Toys, Voltron Legendary Defender toys.

If you are a fan of Voltron like I am I highly recommend that you check out the Playmates Toys, Voltron Legendary Defender toys, you will not be disappointed!

Holiday Gift Guide – Once Kids Playhard Heroes

December 19, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

When you are thinking about holiday gifts you want one that is durable and will last. Once Kids has created toys that will last for a long time but also are built to play with too. I was sent the Playhard Heroes Action Figure Series 1 – Sycamore #1. This toy is tough and built to handle any chaotic and over-encroaching situation with ease and even has an optimistic smile!

Built strong with superhero-worthy materials and packaged in equally tough laser engraved wooden boxes, complete with chalkboard painted interiors, the Play Hard Hero Action Figures are a brilliant alternative to the tradition of plastic.

 

  • Articulated action figures made entirely of strong, heavy-duty wood
  • Encourages imaginative play, storytelling, communication skills, appreciation for the environment
  • A brilliant alternative to the tradition of plastic action figures
  • Action figures each fully articulated – Parts connected by elastic string and metal hinges
  • Packaged in sturdy wooden boxes with chalkboard-paint interior
  • Pack comes with only one Play Hard Hero Action Figure
  • High quality, hardwood materials for lasting durability, strength, and safety

Sycamore #1 was very durable and high quality and I was very impressed with the articulated limbs which move very easily and allow the action figure to be posed in any way that you would like.

The action figure comes in a very nice wooden box that holds the action completely. It even allows you to display the action figure if you are not playing with it.

Once Kids Playhard Heroes

All-in-all if you are looking for an amazing toy that will last for years to come, Once Kids Playhard Heroes is an amazing toy to check out for yourself!
