Force Friday II Is This Friday!

Force Friday II

STAR WARS: The Last Jedi is arriving in theaters this December but the excitement kicks off this Friday with Force Friday II. Force Friday is the day when new Star Wars toys are released. Two years ago before The Force Awakens I was part of campaign to promote the movie and Force Friday. It was an awesome campaign. However, this year, nothing for me except me except for a Press Release about the day and something new with Augmented Reality. This year you can use your mobile phones to reveal a new Star Wars Character and in various locations around the world you can use the Star Wars app to turn major landmarks into something Star Wars related. Also, many places are doing something special all around. You can see what is happening by going to http://www.starwars.com/news/force-friday-ii-guide-to-events-giveaways-and-more.

In Massachusetts you can go to the Burlington Mall and at the Disney Store there you can get all the new toys plus activities, giveaway and a special Find the Force augmented reality treasure hunt where you can unlock characters with the Star Wars app. More info below.

Fun Cleanup with Mr. Dusty a Real Workin’ Buddy from Jakks Pacific

Dusty
Photo-A-Day #4521

Jakks Pacific sent me a big box of very cool stuff to review. Inside was a Real Workin’ Buddy, Mr. Dusty (Amazon Link). We received this for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own. Mr. Dusty is a chatty garbage truck that you can use to sweep up the toys that you have in your room like LEGO bricks, Hot Wheels cars and more. It makes cleanup time more fun. To sweep up your toys they have to be small and fit under Dusty’s mustache grill. You just push Dusty along so that the sweeper arm spins and sweeps toys into the back of the truck. If you come across a toy that does not fit under the mustache then you can push a button and Dusty will lift up his head and “eat” the toys and pull them in so that you can continue to move forward and sweep that larger toy into the back of the truck. You can also drop items into the exhaust pipe and they will be deposited into the back of the truck. You can see how it works in the video below.
