Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods Endor Chase

We received two Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods sets to try out and review. Opinions about the products are 100% my own.

I have not played Angry Birds in a few years. I used to be pretty into the game and then there were more and more versions so I stopped for a while and a while turned into a few years. When I was approached to check out these Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods I was intrigued. So I said sure and two sets arrived at my house.

I admit, I didn’t know very much about this toy/app and was interested in hearing more about it and getting a hands on look. Once I opened the packages and started playing, I got it, it made sense to me. I play a couple of games where physical characters are imported into the game for play and this is very similar in this vein except you can actually play with the telepods figures because there is no technology inside them that can get broken. In fact you are encouraged to launch the figures at other plastic pieces and figures in order to knock them over. Continue reading Review: Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods →

MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants – Eruptor Battle Portal

Eruptor on his MEGA Blocks Battle Portal - Skylanders Giants

I was sent the MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Eruptor Battle Portal to play with and review. Opinions are, as always, 100% my own.

Eruptor is one of those hulking Skylanders figures. He’s not too fast or accurate with his attacks. He splatters hot lava everywhere and destroys those who get too close. He’s got giant club-like hands and a big body. So, in terms of movement the figure can move his arms and rotate his hands. He can also move his legs and feet. His body is one central mass, almost like an egg.

The battle portal is a series 2 portal and has the translucent red blok so that the portal lights up red when it smashes into things. The set comes with a battle bumper, key blok, hourglass blok and a fire element blok as well. The enemy included is a Frigid Chompy. The Frigid Chompy can freeze a Skylander in his tracks.

With Eruptor the Fire Element team is nearly complete. Flameslinger, Ignitor and Hot Dog have already been released and also the forthcoming Hot Head figure that is coming out with Flynn’s Rescue ship. We just need to get Sunurn and all figures will have been released.
