We received a Crashlings Catapult City Set and a 4 pack of Dinos Crashlings to try out and review. Our opinions are 100% our own.

When I was at Toy Fair I visited the Wicked Cool Toys booth to check out the Wild Kratts toy line. While I was there I picked up a couple tiny figures that were packaged in colorful meteors. They were Crashlings. Crashlings are plastic creatures that come from space and have crashed in their little meteors. Some of the meteors are simply plastic, others are plastic and rubber. The rubber piece folds back on itself to pop up into the air. This is one of the games that you can play with Crashlings. Here is a video commercial for the line.

Official Word on Crashlings

For Spring 2014, Wicked Cool Toys is galaxtatic to launch Crashlings, a proprietary, TV promoted boys’ collectible product line of Mutant Meteors from Outer Space! Crashlings are one-inch collectible figures that are packed and travel inside a rubber-flex meteor. Each meteor has the power to blast over 5 feet into the air! Series 1 includes over 155 Crashlings to collect with special rares, ultra rares and retired editions. Crashlings come in five different breeds (Aliens, Insects, Underwater, Dinosaurs, and Monsters), and kids will be skyrocketed into another dimension as they collect them all! The Crashlings comprehensive product line is expected to launch in Spring 2014 with a variety of figure packs, play sets, and a space ship. In addition, Crashlings includes National TV Campaigns which will run throughout 2014 where Crashlings will be riding high and creating mischief in every new galaxy. Ages 5+, SRP: $1.99 – $19.99

The dino planet Crashlings that I received even included a rare one that is silver. They all have names and you can find that out on the Crashlings website. I am unsure as to the names of those four figures. I did like the stegosaurus one the best. I think that half of the figures had fully plastic meteors and half had the meteor tops that pop up.

While I set things up and unpacked the Catapult City Set I gave the catapult to Andrew and he flung Crashlings and Meteors all around the dining room. He had a lot of fun playing with that. I set up the city and it was interesting. The concept of it was interesting but I found it too busy and not stable enough to really enjoy. I have a few suggestions to make the playset much better.

Take a look at the playset. You have a platform where you place little buildings and then there is a slide that you load up with meteors. You slide a lever and the meteors slide down and crash into the houses. It should be awesome but it is too flimsy. The blue base that holds up the black and green meteor container should connect to the base with the buildings, this way the whole set is connected and overall more stable. That way you can slide the lever and let the meteors slide down without knocking over the meteor container and having to reset the slide over and over.

The other thing is the zipline. It is attached to the top of the meteor container and it is a big design flaw because the platform that attaches to the zipline has to hang halfway down the zipline. If this was connected to the side of the meteor container then the Zipline platform could take advantage of sliding the whole length of the zipline.

We did like the catapult, though. It was great for flinging those Crashlings.

Overall Crashlings are cute fun collectibles for kids. Great for picking up a single pack here and there or a 4 pack to play with. There are a bunch of games that you can play with a couple of Crashlings and their meteors. Here is the price range.

Single Pack – $1.99
Crashlings 4-Pack – $5.99
Crashlings 10-Pack- $9.99
Meteor Missile Ship – $12.99
Catapult City Playset – $19.99
