I am part of The Toy Insider Parent Panel and they were so kind to send my family a sampling of some of the amazing toys that they selected to be part of their Holiday Gift Guides. We unboxed this fantastic box of toys today and it was so much fun! While I could go on and on about what was in the box I would rather you see for yourself in the video below. They must have known that we like board games even before I wrote my latest post on the Parent Panel Blog: Board Games for Busy Families.
Hasbro sent us some of their Forces of Destiny Toys for free to play with and Review. Opinions are 100% our own. Affiliat eLinks are contained within this post.The Forces of Destiny line of toys is based on the web series on YouTube. These are a series of shorts about the women of the Star Wars Universe. The dolls are not only the women, however. There are droids and there is even a Kylo Ren doll and a Chewbacca one. But, for the most part these are female figures. Much of the voicework on the series is done by the people who play those characters in the movies and on the cartoons like Star Wars Rebels.
We received a Rey figure and then two Princess Leia ones. I let Eva keep two of the figures and are including the third one in our annual Christmas is for Kids donation. Eva chose to keep the Rey figure and the Princess Leia with Wicket set. When I told her who played Wicket, Warwick Davis, and that he also played Professor Flitwick in Harry Potter movies she flipped out. Eva is a huge Harry Potter fan and Star Wars is her second favorite. Finding a bridge between the two worlds made her day. She helped me make a little video about the toys.
