In our continuing series of reviews for MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants we are now getting into some big time playsets. For our review we received not one but two Crusher’s Pirate Quest sets because this is a 2 in 1 build and my contact at MEGA Bloks felt that instead of me assembling and disassembling the set that I should just build both. Heck, I’m all for that. It will be fun to showcase the two sets together in part two of this review. What you will read and view below are our opinions of the product which are 100% our own. You can learn more about the sets from our other reviews and also on the MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants website. Please watch the video, I know it is long but it has Eva and I playing so it is cute and fun.
When I went to the Time to Play Showcase last year I saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys that were coming out for the brand new show on Nickelodeon. I even received a Raphael toy to bring home. It has been on my desk at work ever since. I’ve had that figure posed in a dozen different ways. The new figures have several points of articulation which means that you can position them more ways that you can count. They are also pretty well balanced so you aren’t constantly readjusting them or picking them up. I had Raphael balanced on one leg on the flat screen monitor of my computer and he didn’t fall off unless I bumped the desk. So Playmates sent me two toys to review and they are a basic Shredder figure and a Flingers Donatello figure.
