This reviewer is happy with the volume…

Great little “radio” for the baby

By Ann Gentile

May 20, 2008

The volume is a good level and not annoying at all. The music is soothing and you don’t get sick of hearing it like some other baby toys. I would recommend this toy.

Here is a review about holding up as a travel toy…

Great Travel Toy

By Mommy Kind

March 7, 2009

We took this toy with us for a three hour car ride with our 1 year old son, and it kept him entertained for at least 1-2 hours…It’s not extremely loud…It’s nice and small, too, so it fits into a purse, diaper bag, or tote bag very easily.

No more going after Mom’s cell phone…

First Toy

November 10, 2014

By Lacy Armitage

I bought this for my niece …she fell in love with it. Before her favorite toy was her moms cell phone but once she got this she choose it over the phone…

This music lover is happy with the length of the tunes…

Einstein Toy

November 9, 2014

By Dr. Eason

My baby loves music…What I like about it is the music plays for more than 10 seconds as opposed to other musical toys. I think each tunes plays for about 30 to 45 seconds. It keeps her attention especially when we are riding or I’m working around the house…

By David Hurley

October 21, 2014

Very impressive, high quality toy. I was not aware of Thames & Kosmos until I discovered this set, but will definitely be buying several more in the future.

…It’s very solidly built, the projects are fun and even the quality of the paper instruction book is high-end.

This is a first-rate product in every way. Highly recommended.

Fun for Tweens and Teens

By A. John

October 20, 2014

My boys had a difficult time trying to get this to work at times. It could be an even more fun game if the learning curve was a little bit easier.

Once they did get into it though it was a lot of fun. They enjoyed slashing the swords just like you would with the Wii U. It does take 8AA batteries….

Updated Rock em – Sock em Robots, be prepared to buy a brick of AA’s for power

By Scott Anderson “Sharpsburg”

October 4, 2014

…The only big drop in star rating is due to the lack of rechargeable batteries. I wish there were rechargeable batteries instead of having to install 8 AA batteries to get the system up and running.

You need a brick of AA’s to keep everyone happy when this game is running full swing.

These reviewers love that it gets everyone moving around…

Great Way for Kids to Burn Some Energy without Trashing the House!

By Mary Jo Sminkey

September 10, 2014

It would be hard for me to come up with a better toy for my twin nephews to play with, rather than running around attempting to destroy my house!

This reminds me a lot of the Wii Sports sword fighting, only with this game, they are controlling little miniature fighting robots instead.

Fun

September 26, 2014

By Bunson Honeydew

Very cool and a slight change of pace from video games. My kids love it because they are used to handheld remotes from their Wii U.

This last review appreciates the action AND durability…

Lots of fun for 4 and up

September 24, 2014

By Mary J. Gramlich

This toy is designed for some serious action fun and keeps the kids moving as they are shooting, running around chasing each other as they fight to the finish….

The best part is when you drop it, it does not break which when there are kids running around it and jumping over it and tackling each other is going to happen…

I love this!6/13/2014Customer review by BrandonFoFandon
5.0 stars by BrandonFoFandon
My roommate bought one for his 4 year old son, but after using it against each other we bought more for everyone in the house. Now we go to the park on weekends at night and have wars. They shoot surprisingly far and are extremely accurate. Plus the led lights make the arrows easy to find in the dark. It’s a blast! I only wish they came with more arrows.

My son had so much fun we had to buy his dad one!7/3/2014Customer review by indianadobermans

5.0 stars by CCMom321
This bow and arrow set is easy enough for my 3 year old to use and awesome enough for my 12 year old neighbor. The bow and the arrows light up, which I think is the key feature that makes this toy so cool. Definitely a must have for boys!!

Air Hogs RC Rollercopter

Imagine an RC toy you can fly and drive!

The Air Hogs RC Rollercopter is an innovative remote control toy.  You can fly your helicopter through the air and drive it along the ground.

It also has a rolling cage around the copter which protects it from bumps and crashes into walls.

Remote Control toys are one of the more popular hobbies, and the Air Hogs RC Rollercopter is getting positive reviews.

A common theme among the reviews is the quick charging, but they also point out the toy needs to be reset when it crashes which can get frustrating…

Climbs walls and crawls ceiling! Easy to use, quick charge time, does tend to crash

By DMFLadybug

October 26, 2014

PROS:

…It fully charges in 15 minutes, which results in about 15 to 20 minutes of flying time.

Quick charging, also a plus.

The controller is fairly easy to operate…My 5 year old was flying in no time…

The cage is supposed to allow the copter to roll on the floor and up the walls to ceiling. This it does, which my boys loved and it impressed the adults as well.

CONS:

While it walks up and down the walls and across the ceiling as advertised, it tends to fly a bit aimlessly, and often veers off and crashes into walls or furniture. If this happens, the copter ceases to work.

We feared ours was broken, but there is a flashing red light, and a switch that you turn on and off as a reset and it is up and moving again….

Perfect Fun For My 7 Year Old! Loved it!!!

October 29, 2014

By CharlieOne

My 7 year old son got this. He was able to set it up completely on his own. It charges fast & has decent battery life. It was very easy to control & to be honest it is perfect for learning to fly….

Fun toy overall but shuts itself off after hard crashes

October 29, 2014

By shaunas

PROS – quick charge time, climbs walls and ceilings, fun to watch.

CONS – crashes easily and requires you to toggle the on/off switch to off and then back on almost every time the copter crashes in order to fly it again.

This reviewer strongly urges to read the instructions…

Great Rollercopter!! Lots of fun!

By Melissa Mendez

October 16, 2014

Charging it was very fast, we were using it about 10-15 minutes after opening it. It took us a few minutes to figure out how to make it fly as at first it would not do anything, but then we followed the instructions step by step and we were flying in no time!

This RC helicopter is amazing! I was as excited as my 8 year old son! It really rolls up the walls and flies very smoothly!

… It seems to stay charged for good amount of time.

The only complaint I had was that when it crashes hard to the ground, it had to be powered off and then on again in order for it to work again….

And this reviewer recommends a larger room to fly the helicopter…

It is best if you have a larger room to fly it …

October 26, 2014

By kristyn donaldson

I have three boys and they were thrilled to use this when it arrived!! It works very well and charges very quickly.

Even my 5 year old had no problem using this RC!

It is best if you have a larger room to fly it in and the blades will sting your fingers if they get hit by them.

Fun Fun Fun Robot Pet for Kids and Adults!

September 23, 2014

By Owen Chastain II

…The toy is a rechargeable toy, so we gave it a good charge before playing with it. The charge lasted about 20 minutes or so of non-stop play.

Best little dino around

September 22, 2014

By Lirilei

It’s super easy to use, my kids can hook it up to the usb cable and charge it when Boomer indicates he needs that done, and they love knowing when exactly he’s ready to play again thanks to his eyes changing colors.

The reviews below are impressed with the fun and variety the Zoomer Dino offers…

Amazed Me As an Adult!

By Cherise Kachelmuss “Mom and More”

….SpinMaster has done it again with an amazing toy…He zooms around our house on both the carpet and hardwood floors.

No problem at all… I definitely think he is going to be a hot item this Christmas so I’d recommend buying him early before he is extinct on the store shelves!

A great step up from Zoomer Dog, Dino is expressive and lots of fun

By outwest

October 15, 2014

As we already have a Zoomer dog which I found to be fairly amusing but not stellar, I had a guess what the Dino would be like.

I was thankfully wrong, as the Dino is a much more fun toy!

Boomer is a hit!

September 22, 2014

By Jessica Rockwell

…He is so much fun. I was a little weary about my kids getting bored with him but the more you play and train him the more he does! …

Moxie Girlz Poopsy Pet Doll, Avery

Are you looking for a VERY UNIQUE gift? One that will send your children in a fit of giggles?

Moxie Girlz Poopsy Pet Doll is…umm….Special. These dolls come with fun pets that do what pets do best. Eat and poop.

There are three different dolls in the series.  Avery, the highly intelligent and athletic Moxie girl, comes with a pet koala that poops red, sparkly jewels!

It’s not a joke. These dolls are real toys. Below are some reviews for the Poopsy Pet Dolls that are helpful.

These parents wrote of the sheer delight their children have with the toy…

Fun gift!

By SHuber –

August 1, 2014

… My 3 year old daughter was so excited to receive in the mail and immediately wanted to play with Avery.

…It was such a hit, my 7 year old son wanted to play with the doll as well (more for the pooping aspect)…

We have gone on to purchase several more of these type dolls as birthday gifts just because I think the idea is too funny…

Great Doll for Girls!

By Michelle Leys

June 6, 2014

The Moxie Girls Poopsy Pet was a big hit with my 3 & 5 year old girls. Although I must admit the thought of a pet “pooping” was a little questionable, the sheer delight of watching my girls feed in the eggs was totally worth it!

Both of my girls have really enjoyed playing with this doll!

And these parents give a heads up to the disappearing poo…

It definitely poopsies!

By CT

June 26, 2014

… However, although it “poopsies” pink diamonds or pink jewels, they are small poops, and they are easily lost!

…Bottom line: it is cute, girls like it, the Moxie Girl line is more of a natural and real doll, in that there is no over the top flash, make-up, or unrealistic body curvature, so I love Moxie Girlz, but they need to give you more of the poopsy product and allow you to order more! Or, like me, go to the local craft shop.

cute doll

By Ambair

June 14, 2014

My 5 & 3 yr olds got this doll as a gift. They both loved it until they lost all the jewels.

We find them and then they lose them again. The doll is very cute and they play with them even without the jewels.
