Kicking Off Advent With Disney’s Tsum Tsum Calendar

Advent Calendar
Photo-A-Day #4251

We received a Tsum Tsum Advent Calendar (Affiliate Link) from Jakks Pacific for free to play with and review. This is an adorable Advent Calendar that the kids are going to absolutely love. Andrew was thrilled to be the first person to open the Calendar. He was home and so he got to do it by default. When he opened the first box he got a holiday themed Minnie Mouse Tsum Tsum. Jakks Pacofic makes a ton of Disney Tsum Tsum figures and this Advent Calendar is a great addition to the line.

We’ve been fans of the Tsum Tsum game for a while now and even have some of the plush Tsum Tsums but we had never picked up any of the collectible figurines. I’m excited about the Marvel Tsum Tsum figures that we received along with the Nightmare before Christmas ones. These are such fun figures and I’ll do an unboxing specifically of the Marvel ones, soon.

When we started playing I did not even know how to pronounce Tsum Tsum (pronounced Zoom Zoom). I just learned, right now from the official descriptions that Tsum Tsum means “Stack Stack” in Japanese. You can find out more about Tsum Tsum below.

Shred with the XPV® RC Skateboarding Mikey this Memorial Monday

Andrew with Skateboarding Mikey

We received this XPV® RC Skateboarding Mikey from Jakks Pacific to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

One really fun time with Andrew was playing with the XPV® RC Skateboarding Mikey on an empty basketball court on a beautiful Spring Day. This toy is huge. It is Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a skateboard and he spins and does wheelies and even rights himself when he falls, or gets knocked over. All the while he is saying a bunch of his signature phrases and showing that attitude that makes him one of the most loved Turtles.

Our Skateboarding Mikey

We had a blast with this toy. It went pretty fast and all the spins and wheelies were done well. I had to goose it a bit to get Mikey to get back up but he didn’t actually fall, or got knocked, over until later in the playtime after we had blasted through the batteries. So he may have been a little tired getting back up, but he got back up. This was an all around fun toy to play with and I look forward to more time out with Andrew playing with Skateboarding Mikey. Andrew also enjoyed controlling the toy. It is perfectly simple and accessible for a four year old.
