Despicable Me 3 Remote Control Inflatables from Bladez Toyz are just about the coolest remote control to be had at the moment. Not only are they remote control, they move, they talk, they are minions and they are large inflatables making them quite a sight and a hit with anyone that sees them!
Along with the inflatable Tom is a remote control and you need 6AA batteries in total to power him along. Tom comes on a small base and then his body inflates which my daughter did in a matter of minutes so really simple to do. The first thing my 6yr old observed and was rather impressed with were his googles which also inflated!
The remote control is very simple to use and kept both my 6yr and 9yr old occupied. You can move the minion remote control forward or spin it around and also listen to it chatter which my boy thought was hilarious and briliant. We found that it did work on carpet but we also used it on a hard floor which got great results and plenty of minion action.
The children both loved controlling jail break Tom as he was simple to operate but fun with the way he spun around and his sounds. The 6yr old loved dancing and jumping over him as he spun, whereas the 9yr liked controlling it and steering it around the house making sure it didn’t bang into anything although if it did no damage is called due to it’s inflatable nature. With a 30m range this minion remote control allows for great play value and it looks impressive with it’s 35cm height.

All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
There is one red and one grey drone in the box, the same with the controllers. These have to be paired up together and we tended to pair matching colours to help us know who had which one. The remote controls require 3AAA batteries each which are included. The drones have a rechargeable pack in them that is simply charged through a micro usb cable.
Each drone has 4 propellers and the set also comes with 8 spares. There are also 10 weapons in various shapes that you can hook on to the edge to help destroy your opponents drone whilst having a battle. These are simple to hook on the edges and help to bring the other one down. The remote control is simple to use with three speed settings and four preset buttons to carry out various attacks with just one press of the button.
Here we are practicing to control the drones:
The car is fairly small but packed full of detail making it look really sleek and a quality car. Based on Batman V Superman, this car was is made to look like it and has a brushed metal look finish although it’s actually just hard durable plastic, made to withstand knocks and bumps as it zooms around the floor. We love the styling on it and give it top marks for looks.
The remote control is great too, a simple but smooth lined bat shape with easy to touch controls. Both the car and remote have an on/off switch and both require 3 AA batteries to work. They both have a small red light so you know when they are on and ready to use.
