Recently Mega Bloks released their new line of Skylanders Giants inspired building sets. I saw all of these sets while I was at Time to Play and I was very impressed by them then. Mega Bloks took into consideration the look and feel of Skylanders including little things from the game like pieces of food, treasure chests even Chompies. We were sent two Arkeyan Copter playsets. One to check out and review and the other to give as a donation to Christmas is for Kids. Here is what Eva and I thought of it.
Yes, I know I cut most of my head off in this video… now.
The christmas is for Kids Give it forward Project is going strong. When we came back from our trip to New York City there was a huge box and four smaller boxes with all sorts of things for me to review and much to give to Christmas is for Kids. I received a giant box of Batman Power Attack figures from Mattel. They are part of a box to throw a Batman Power Attack party but I was able to get the box to review and donate many of the toys to Christmas is for Kids. There are a ton of great figures that are going to be donated. I kept and reviewed a few Batman figures and one Robin figure plus the Total Destruction Batmobile. That is a pretty sweet ride. Eva and I made a video of that today and we’ll have that up in a few days.
We also received multiple packages from Blip Toys including their new Amazimals line of toys. We got three puppies that each do something different. Eva got to choose one of them to keep and review. The rest are going to Christmas is for kids including a Squinkies Zinkies set.
And last but not least was the stuff that we got from our trip to the Activision Family Game Summit in New York. Allison and I each got a bag and the bags were filled with video games, toys and more. We kept some of the stuff for ourselves and are going to buy a family Nintendo 3Ds to play all the games and we also kept some for gifts for friends as well. But the bulk of what received is going to Christmas is for kids including $20 in Target gift cards for what we as a family are going to buy. We need to do that shopping soon.
Be on the lookout for toy reviews coming very, very soon.
