Ben 10 and his Omnitrix (alien watch) is a key part in the Ben 10 series and sees him transform into various different alien beings taking on their appearance and powers whilst still being a ten year old boy underneath. The perfect way for a kid to have fun and play for the day. Flair have launched a range of three Power up Figures fully articulated and with their own lights and sounds. Here we check out Heatblast.
The Ben 10 figures stand at around 14cm tall and easily stand unaided with a steady balance. Arms and legs can be moved easily for imaginative fun and play but the big feature with these figures is the little button on the top of the back which can be pressed as little or often as you want giving your alien a surging burst of energy. The character lights up in various ways and makes a great selection of sounds. From little blasts the more you press the button, the more it powers up creating larger and better sounds. By holding the button down you get an instant alien blast which really adds to play value.
My just turned 7yr old enjoyed this figure and found the sounds really encouraged play and his imagination to get working. He is often found carrying the figure around the house and imitating it’s blast off sounds.
A fun toy for Ben 10 fans and one that’s durable for lots of play but has an interactive side to add to the excitement!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
With a zebra, lion, elephant and monkey as part of the collection I just knew my little boy would love these, particularly the monkey which has turned out to be his favourite. He loves using these in all sorts of imaginative play, adding them in with his other toys, such as tractors, trucks and other figures for fun playing.
The playset is a good size and can be split into two parts if you wish. Although it looks fairly simple, it is packed full of traps and hideouts which lend a hand to a child’s imagination and something my little boy thrives on. His imagination ran wild with this creating all sorts of adventures and games for The Lion Guard characters to play.
The set consists of a mountain like structure with various caves, traps and hideouts. It also includes a moveable hyena figure to play with and others can easily be added to the set to encourage play. Although the playset can be parted into two pieces my little boy preferred to keep it as one. On one side is a tree branch that animals can sit into and be twisted up and down to keep watch on oncoming visitors.
Underneath the main part is jaw bone jail, this is opened by a small lever and can trap visiting animals inside. Beware if you are standing at the bottom of the rock as the boulder can easily be released to roll into you! If the boulder rolls the other way however the rock bridge will collapse, so danger on both sides. The red lava panel also lifts up to reveal a hidden cave for the hyena to hide in.
This playset has kept my little boy playing for hours, he is very imaginative and a toy like this sets the scene for him and enables him to enjoy lots of time playing and creating different scenarios. The toy is very well built and durable with moving parts being easy to use.
Mister B has enjoyed bringing his other The Lion Guard playset to play with together, giving a home for the goodies and one for the baddies, creating the ultimate The Lion Guard world to play with. There are various toys available in the range and they all mix and match easily together for fun play times. You can also check out my review for
