Review – TMNT Half-Shell Heroes Headquarters Playset

Andrew and the Half-Shell Headquarters
Photo-A-Day #4243

We received a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Half-Shell Heroes Half-Shell Headquarters to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

Andrew has been asking me for this toy for a while. He enjoys the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and knows that I am a big fan. He can name all of the turtles and was excited that he got a Leonardo figure at McDonald’s last night on his birthday. I had been meaning to switch out some of Andrew’s toys for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Half-Shell Heroes that he has. Well, I did not get that done in time for his birthday but today we were able to clean up the toy area and make the switch. I’m glad that we did because Andrew loves the set. He and Eva were having so much fun flinging all the figures off the Headquarters. There are a ton of fun little play areas. Here is what you get with the Half-Shell Headquarters Playset

  • The Half-Shell Headquarters Playset, part of the Half Shell Heroes collection that’s designed specifically for preschoolers, has four levels of Ninja Turtle fun – with each level packed with surprises and new features to discover!
  • The transforming playset unfolds to reveal new play areas, including street level trap doors that lead to different areas of the Ninja Turtles’ lair, a slide in each hand including one that’s a manhole-popping secret entrance, and the playset’s foot turns into a jail cell!
  • With this many transformations, twists and turns, kids can either guide the Turtles to safety or send Shredder and his gang right to jail!
  • Includes Raphael and Bebop 2.5″ action figures (compatible with most Half Shell Heroes action figures)
  • Recommended Age: 3+
  • Suggested Retail Price: $59.99

Here’s what the kids thought of the toy as they played with it.

Driving and the Xtreme Cycle Moto-Cam Preview

Send off to Deb
Photo-A-Day #4154

We do a sendoff to my supervisor tonight at work. Her name is Deb and our manager brought in Little Debbie snacks for the party. First dad joke that hit all year.

I’ve been trying to get good video for the Xtreme Cycle Moto-Cam. I took it with me yesterday to shoot footage before work. Then this morning I took it back to the skate park a second time to get footage from the Moto-Cam itself. However, I am having trouble with the cycle. It is not recording as I expect and I can’t get the files to use on my computer. They are ending up being unreadable. I’m getting a lot better at driving the cycle but I have crashed it many times and sometimes from great heights. The handlebars are busted, but it still can drive. The gyro is making a god-awful noise, but it still drives. The camera does record and I can see the videos through an app called VLC on my phone, but not my computer.

I ran into a guy at the Skate Park. He watches Youtube videos all the time. Mostly Video games and toy reviews, so I think he found my vlog today and left me a comment. I offered to let him drive the Xtreme Cycle but he didn’t want to, he’d rather watch.

The Xtreme Cycle is overall pretty good, there are some flaws to it but it does do some cool things. I’m beating the heck out of it as I try and get some good footage. There is some footage in today’s video. I edited this very quickly and very sloppily. Sorry about that. Next one will be better.
