Iron Man Smartphone Stand
Photo-A-Day #4221

I received an Iron Man Smartphone Stand (aff link) from Toy Island to use and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Iron Man is my go to super hero. I’m a big fan. So, when I was offered a Smartphone Stand that uses an app to look like Tony Stark/Iron Man I was excited to try it out. This is a toy for kids ages 8 and up and so the app is rather simple. You can set alarms, tap the face of Iron Man/Tony Stark and tilt the toy around. Iron Man is funny and cocky as I would expect him to be. I’ve played with it a bit and haven’t gone through all of the 50 phrases and animations.

The device also has an opening so there is access to connect the charger so at night you can pop you smartphone into the stand and connect the charger, play with Iron man for a bit and then put him into sleep mode, make sure that you set the alarm and you are good to go overnight. You can see more about it in the vlog below.
