Zing Presants: Dino Hunterz Crossbow Review!

     As a woman who took up archery before Katniss did, yet still pretends to be Katniss when shooting, I have huge respect for Zing's line of bows.  Every year they come out with great new products that hold true to their high standards of quality, accuracy and durability.  Add a very reasonable price tag and you have a great gift for all the little (or grown up) archers on your gift list.  With the release of "Jurassic World" dino hunting has been on the rise.  In fact, X just reported to me that he saw a Reviewasaourous outside this very day whilst checking out this awesome Crossbow. Yeap just like Ralply with his Red

Lalaloopsy Dance With Me: Review

     Lalaloopsy is a franchise that I really love. Aesthetically appealing to children of all ages and with a look that is clearly their own, Lalaloopsy has a loyal fan base and the products produced for the show are always top of the line when it comes to quality in play and in materials.  The addition of Dance With Me: Lalaloopsy interactive doll is no different!  The party will never end in your house this winter with Peanut as your dance party!  Peanut, always the performer, loves dancing around and having a good time but this time around your child will be their dance party. Put on some great tunes (might I suggest KidzBop?) and have your child put on their dance shoes, and the bow that comes with the doll, and Peanut will not only dance with your child but in some cases mimic the moves!  The bow (which should be latched on tightly to your child's belt or pants) has a sensor that communicates to the Peanut doll.  She will recognize when your child is moving, and start dancing.  If your child dances fast, so does Peanut.  Want to learn an official Lalaloopsy dance?  Peanut will teach you step by step. However the best, the absolute BEST part of this doll is the freeze dance option. Oh how I love freeze dance. There are so little opportunities as an adult to do the dance of the freeze- so reviewing this doll was quite a site, and no you will not see the video that my husband taped whilst laughing hardly at me.  

    The doll itself works great with the sensor, picking up 95 percent of your movements, it is amazingly accurate.  I have reviewed toys like this before and this is far superior to those toys in the past.  Peanut is adorable and durable- she also has NO issue standing on her own two feet- which being she has to dance is expected but not always guaranteed with some toys. All in all this is a great toy that your little Lalaloopsy fan will absolutely love. I know I love mine!

  Lalaloopsy is retailed at $49.99 (34.99 on amazon right now with free shipping) and is worth every penny.

Playmates New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Line of Toys!

      Playmates Toys are coming out with a HUGE line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys this coming year.  Following the huge success of the revamped vintage line, thanks to the new amazing television series on Nickelodeon, these toys are bringing even more new life to the hero's in a half shell (turtle power)!

     Starting with the line that is closest to my heart- the Half Shell Heroes, we have a lot of toys to look forward to this year!

    There will be four new vehicles coming, but the thing is that there are actually only TWO, both vehicles mutant into a different car!  In the Mutation Vehicle Line Donatello comes with the Shellraiser that turns into a Sanitation Dump truck, and Raphael has a Fire Truck that turns into a Tank- very cool, and a great deal because you are getting two car styles for the price of one- LOVE IT!


    New to the line will be a series of Bath Toys! There will be four squirter style toys each of them one of the four main characters.  Even more exciting are the Dive Boat with Diver Donnie and the Fire Boat with Captain Raph, perfect for tub or pool play, your kids will love them!

   Role Play will be HUGE this season, with the Talking Role Paly Sets. All of your favorite turtle defense devices (or weapons) will be made in soft plastic for non concussion play, and they will make fun sounds and catch pharases from the show.  My favorite though is the actual turtle shell that they can wear! SOOOO cute! All items are sold separately, and yes you will need them all!


    For the older kids there are also some amazing toys in the Mutation line, including the Mix and Match Turtle.  Think Potato Head, but actual figures that you can take off the limbs and head and rematch them with any other characters!  Each one is sold separately but come with one extra body part for instant play. Yes, you will need at least TWO to have the full experience, but they are so cool that you won't mind!

     Another really cool toy is the Pet Turtle to Ninja Turtle Figures.  We all know the story of how four ordinary turtles get mutated into super ninja turtles! Well now your kids can experience it first hand. These figures mutant from pet to ninja in a few simple movements, and it is freakin awesome.


    There are soo many other toys coming out that you will not have any problem finding one that is perfect for your child's age range and interest.  They are so well made and so innovative that I cannot wait to get my hands on them, my son is going to be so excited!
