Not so stretchy!

My 4 year old daughter wanted this for Christmas and it was top of her list for Santa. The day after boxing day a split had appeared under the armpit under normal use from a 4 year old. I will be returning it and would not recommend that you buy. Check the reviews for stretchy Homer Simpson as this seems to be a common problem.

Don't fight over it you two.

I have a son and daughter,this toy was bought for my son but as soon as it appears, son, daughter, husband and me are all drawn inexerably toward's it ,we all want to have a go.
A real joy to behold so much detail, it moves well and it's voice is spot on.
One draw back, it's delicate, handle with care.
Over all brilliant just wish I'd bought two, one for each child or maybe three cause my husband loves it ,when the children are asleep and he's had a beer, up he goes and sneek's it downstairs to have a go.

Great Value

Well worth the money. Arrived this morning and my 3 year old boy has not put it down. Its well made as he even sits on it and rides around the kitchen floor.

With great power comes great responsibility...

Once upon a time in the toy factory there was a nerdy potato. He was bitten by a radioactive toy spider, and turned into Spider-Spud.

What more do you need to know? Get it now. And get Darth Tater and have a face-off.

[Tip: Tie a white shoe-lace to Spider-Spud and suspend him from the ceiling. It's a wonderful conversation starter.]

ok toy, very poor DVD

Bought this along with other gormiti stuff for my sons birthday, he has played with it a bit but as soon got bored with it. The biggest let down is the DVD that comes with it, it is very poor quality and is more like a advertisement with no real animation, just bad voice acting and still shots.

My advice: buy the 4 pack figures, avoid the playsets - they are very overpriced.

Hope this review was helpful

"Hunt down and kill the remaining Jedi!"

Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with the first ever kit based on a Star Wars computer game with the excellent Rogue Shadow from The Force Unleashed.
This model is a great representation of the ship used by Darth Vader in the game. It features opening cockpit canopy to reveal the pilot area (for 1 figure) and storage compartment, rotating wing panels which simultaneously fold the engine port back for either flight position or landing and moveable landing gear which folds away neatly for flight. There are weapons pods on the tip of each wing which add to the sinister look.
The port wing has two compartments. The upper one which opens to allow a missile rack which activates with a lever from the outside. The two missiles are simply pulled out for use. The lower compartment has a swivelling weapons rack which has two of the heavy assault rifles in it. The starboard wing has one compartment which opens via a lever from underneath which ratchets a firing missile launcher from inside - the same type as the one in the 2007 Imperial Landing Craft or 2006's Slave 1.
The bonus of this kit is the 3 mini figures with it. You get a battle damaged Darth Vader figure with great face and body detailing. You can choose to have him wearing his helmet or a partial version and wielding his red lightsabre. You also get Juno Eclipse who has a choice of hair or Imperial Officer's hat and like Vader, has better face detailing. Finally you have Vader's apprentice complete with a red lightsabre. Unfortunately he is relegated to the basic Lego face which is a shame seeing as how the other two look so good.
The kit is composed of 460 pieces, not including the figures, weapons, alternate head pieces and firing missile.
Rogue Shadow measures 38cm long from aft engine to laser cannon tip, 32cm wide from wing to wing and 9cm high not including wings in vertical landing position.
It takes about 45 minutes to build and is a very welcome addition to the Star Wars universe. Let's hope Lego continue further releases from the Star Wars games soon.

Is it a bird? is it a plane? no it's Sportacus!

This action figure is of the LazyTown"slightly above average" hero Sportacus.
It stands at 22cm high, and comes with a backpack and skateboard {which can also be used as a stand.}
This figure has no sharp or breakable parts, and when you press the crystal button on his chest, Sportacus says 6 phrases:

My name is Sportacus
That's what I call energy
You can do it
Someones in trouble
Lets go
Time for action
and 3 Sportacus style whooshing noises.

Sportacus's legs move to the side and bend backwards {they don't rotate, so he cant be made to sit, hence my four star fun rating} but his head is fully rotational, and his arms have a good range of movement.
The details on this action figure are the same as that of the real Sportacus {the stripes on his hat, etc} so it would make the perfect gift for any LazyTown fan.
Also, he runs on watch batteries {they're small, silver and round} which are included.

Utterly fabulous!
