Review and Giveaway: Disney’s Aladdin Interactive Genie Figure

Aladdin Genie

I received a Disney’s Aladdin Interactive Genie Figure from Playmates toys to play with and review. Opinions are my own.

This toy is based on the classic animated Genie of the lamp from Disney’s Aladdin. It has several phrases from the original movie and multiple points where you can interact with the genie. You can touch his head, his arm, the lamp and his stomach. Genie is a bit impatient, though. If you don’t do anything with him he will start talking and he likes to talk. You can see how he is in the video below.

Playmates sent me a second genie for a giveaway. You can enter through the rafflecopter widget below. Don’t forget that the one thing you MUST do in order to participate is answer a question in the comments. Thank you. This is open to the US only.

Avengers Tower

Each time a new Avengers movie comes out I pick up the LEGO sets. When I saw them at Target I grabbed all of them immediately. I probably should have waited because LEGO was doing a special where if you purchased $75 worth of sets you’d get a special Avengers Tower set. So, I returned a couple of sets to Target and bought the sets through the LEGO Shop online. I wish that LEGO had the Avengers: Endgame sets at the time when they were offering a special Avengers 4 pack of minifigs, though. Maybe I can find someone who wants to trade one of those sets with the extra Avengers Tower that I got.

I like this set a lot because they did a great job with the design of the tower. Making this town microscale with a special edition Tony Stark minifig is cool. I like how the Iron Man armor is just starting to flow across Tony Stark. One hand is red from the armor and the other is a regular hand. It really looks and feels like Tony is getting his armor in that liduid metal way that he does in the movies. Very cool.
