Play and Store Big Box Take-Along Fun: Space Mission

Fun but lacks durabilityI bought this for my 3 1/2 year old who is really interested in the solar system. He loves playing with these toys and treats them well. However, they are made of a "model" type quality rather than a "play" type quality. The stickers easily slide off the pieces; which easily come apart. I was also disappointed that there was not any type of information page included to describe any of the space structures and what they are used for. The box is the most durable feature. Overall the quality and educational value is poor and could be improved, but my son still loves it.

good toyI bought this set for my four year old son. For the price, I couldn't ask for a better toy. The pieces seem like they would break easily if a child was too rough on them. My favorite feature is the container. He has so many toys and no place to store them. The container makes clean up easy.
Poor qualityPoor quality - pieces do not fit well and are constantly falling apart. The most durable part is the container.

Adorable!I just love Norwegian Fjords. They're my favorite pony breed so I bought this when it first came out a few years ago. My only complaint, I wish Breyer would come out with a new Norwegian Fjord. Maybe a foal or something...Oh, yeah. About the 2 stars for fun..This isn't really a fun toy. ..., these model horses are collector's items meaning don't give em to your 4-year-old to play with and bang up unless you like wasting money. However, if you have an older child who loves horses, this is definitely a great gift.
Good Primitive Horse!This Fjord horse is a very detailed model of many of the primitive horse breeds. Add stripes and he's a pretty good zebra. Change his color a bit, and he's a Mongolian wild horse or a Tarpan. This is a very versatile body type for customizers of models, probably the most versatile that Breyer makes.
Henry FjordFirst, I like this little guy's name. Makes me think of the Model T, which is appropriate since the Norwegian Fjord is one of the most primitive horses still in existance. It looks very much like the extinct Tarpan. Second, I'd like to salute Breyer for making models of lesser known horses so those of us who aren't likely to see one in the flesh can have an all around view of them. They've certainly captured the character of this spunky critter. He's on my shelf right next to Man 'O War and looks like he thinks he could take him on. Last, this toy is solid. Built just like the little Fjord, it's set low to the ground with sturdy legs and neck. Not likely to break easily.

The best box of dinosaurs I've ever purchased!This box of dinosaurs is great! My son and I play together with them for hours. He's learning what kind of diosaurs they are and you can see his imagination going wild every time he opens the box! The box is handy because you can take it with you wherever you feel like having some prehistoric fun. Not for kids under 3 as there are alot of small pieces. Definately a good buy for little ones that love dinosaurs!

FUN FUN FUNTHis toy was great, but basically the same as the Animal Planet Dinosaur playland. My son loved both of them. The other review here said it was just an empty box!!! Boy is she wrong. My box is packed full of fun dinosaurs! My 3 year old is in heaven!

Wonderful BoxMy son has tons and tons of fun with the dino box. He stands on it, pushes it across the carpet, opens it up and looks for treasure, even hides in it. However he couldn't understand why, when he first opened it, there were no dinosaurs inside. I had to explain to him that it was just a dino box. He loves it anyways.

Pretty good toyThis toy is pretty cool but the horse's hair is WAY TO LONG!!!!Maybe i am being to picky but the horse is not shaped the way it should be.The picture shows the barn open with the fence attached to the walls you can't attach the fence enless the barn is closed!Lots of tiny "perfume" bottles and cardboard things.There is a place to hang the Polly's clothes but the clothes don't stay on the hangers!There is a haystack that opens to a chair but she can't sit in it because her clothes won't bend that far!!!BUT over all the bad things it still is good toy for kids!

My 4 year old loves it ... I'm not a fan of it though.My 4 year old LOVES Polly Pocket. She loves all the little clothes, the tiny shoes, the accessories, the pets, the modes of transportation. Oh ... the adventures she and Polly and her friends have. She plays with it endlessly and has a great time.
I, as a parent, hate it. It's too small and fiddly for my big fingers ... and there is always something to be re-attached, re-configured or an item of clothing for Polly to put on that my daughter needs help with. She loves it when I sit down and play with her but I can't get my big fingers comfortable with this tiny toy.
I also have to constant worry of a choking hazard for her little brother (just turned 1) and I have to stand over her to ensure she packs up every single tiny piece of the set.
All the Polly Pocket sets we own have been gifts. As a parent - I would find something else to buy my daughter.
I am not a fan of this toy at all ... but then i am not a 4 year old little girl either.

Polly pocketsPolly Pockets are very cute and fun toys. There rubbery clothes are easy to break but if you be careful they will last a long time. The Ride in Style Polly is so cute with the doll and the horse. I would recomend this toy to any girl from the age of 3 to 11. The Polly Dolls are fun for all ages!
Breyer Legendary Reining Horse: Hollywood Dun It

Cool for display but not for playI got this model in addition to Scamper the barrelracer. Dun It is beautifully and realistically colored with a pale dun coat, tiger stripes, dark mane and tail, and dark muzzle. This model would look great on a display shelf but isn't good to play with. The paint comes off a little easily, the tail tip can get nicked easily, and you can't do much with the position it is in. Otherwise, this is a truly special model.
Breyer horses are the best toys on the market!This model is one of the best new molds that Breyer has produced in the past ten years. They are finally recognizing Rodeo horses in their line. Hollywood Dun It is an awesome model, with beautiful coloration!

A special set for a little girlMy 4 year old daughter loves everything we have bought in the Calico Critters sets. This is no exception. She adores the little furniture, with the great details and has spent alot of time playing with these. I do not recommend them for children that will lose small pieces- we pack it back into a box with a tight fitting lid after playing. All of the 3 & 4 year old girls in her playgroup are jealous of this set of toys.

Still worth buying, AFTER you get the other Critter sets!This is a nice little set, though not too interesting by itself. Recommended only when purchased with critters & house. This set has been in Sylvanian Families (aka Calico Critters in usa), since the begining. The books are really cute, and removable from the book shelf. THere are also pictures & picture frames, chairs, couch, and a lamp. As mentioned before, you would want to have calico critter families & a house before picking this up as it has little play interest when bought as a stand alone. Quality and durability is great & items can be used with most small dolls ^_^

This is it! The Hugh Hewitt Action Figure!!Yes, this is it! The Official Hugh Hewitt Action Figure! Don't let anyone fool you that this might be an official licensed action figure from "A Christmas Story" (well, actually, it is, but that's beside the point.) Buy this for your favorite shock jock NOW. (P.S.: Kids-at-Heart will like it too.)

"A crummy commercial?!"Oh gawd, I can't believe my eyes! A line of action figures based on "A Christmas Story"? Sheesh, talk about scrapin' the bottom of the barrel! I guess the toy companies won't be satisfied 'til they make collectible playthings based on every blockbuster and/or cult flick that's ever been released. What's next? "The Shawshank Redemption" cell block playset with sewer-pipe-escape action? A Billy Bob Thornton "Slingblade" doll that grunts, "mmm-hmm" when you push a button on its back? Or a Doctor Evil action figure with upraised pinky-- oh, they actually DID make a Dr. Evil figure like that? Never mind that last one, then...
Anyhoo, I found myself (sorta) privileged to discover this particular toy at a fave comics-and-collectibles joint, and I must say its resemblance to Peter "Ralphie" Billingsley is reasonably dead-on, though not quite as uncanny as the movie-based stuff McFarlane Toys puts out (but then, what IS?). The paint job and sculpting is painstakingly intricate and highly detailed, giving this chunk o' plastic a reasonably lifelike appearance. Sadly, the thing that brings this bad-boy down a few notches in my eyes is the articulation: little Ralphie has no hinge joints at the knees, rendering him unable to escape Scut Farkus' imminent onslaught of cruelty. Hey, speakin' of Scut Farkus: where the hey is HIS action figure?! Aside from Ralphie, he'd be the only toy in this line I'd even bother to get, had I the inclination to collect the things. Talk about gettin' the shaft...
Er, where was I? Oh yes, articulation. Below the waist, this toy has no apparent poseability to speak of. Both shoulders and the head have the usual rotating joints, as does his wrists and... his elbows? Yep, sad but true: his elbows lack the usual hinge joints-just rotating ones. The right arm has an extra rotating point of articulation at mid-bicep, which helps him keep his beautifully-detailed Red Ryder air rifle accessory a bit steadier as he lines the target up in his sights. Oh yes, let's not forget the red bar of Lifebuoy brand soap, said to have been one of the worst-tasting soaps of all time by those who remember those classic days of potty-mouth discipline!
All right, time for me to wind this up. If nothing else, little Ralphie makes an interesting addition to the collection of Yuletide knick-knacks on the fireplace mantle. Okay, so it isn't the most tasteful Christmas decoration in the world. On the upside, it's not nearly as annoying as that singing snowman figure your parents like so much. I swear to God, if I hear that friggin' thing sing the "Snow Miser" song one more time I'm gonna turn it into kindling for this year's yule log...

Great toy!!I bought this for my nephew's third birthday, and it was by far, his favorite toy! The gloves are hysterical and the mask, although a little big, sounds great. Even the adults couldn't get enough of it. It was a little scary for my two year old niece, but she got over that very quickly!

not for small childrenMy 4 year old got this for his birthday and liked it fine until it came out of the box. It was too big for his head which made it impossible for him to see out of the eyes and the voice changer only works if you talk directly into it. Needless to say we were unable to rig it so he could do both at the same time. Also if you have smaller children around this is quite frightening for them to watch.
My First Magic Set
Made by Cadaco
Age Group: 4 - 8 years

Abracadabra! Now kids can mystify an audience with Magic Rainbows, Rabbit and Rings, Tricky String, Mystery Tube, Magnetized Wand, and more. My First Magic Set holds 12 fun tricks, complete props and secrets for presenting them, and the carrying case to take the show on the road. All magicians need is the cape and top hat. Actually, the 4-to-8-year-olds for whom this set is intended probably also need adult help in reading the well-written and illustrated, 16-page "Secret Instruction Booklet." Parents and kids get together doing the light assembly necessary (such as separating the perforated sheet of cards, folding cardboard to form the magic box, applying a sticker) to four of the tricks. Then pore over the step-by-step pictures and instructions before the little magician goes off to perfect the sleight of hand. For extra help, every trick's instructions are accompanied by a "Secret" that summarizes and explains the key to the trick. (Example: "The hidden finger hole allows you to secretly reach in and 'untie' the string.") A sure-fire hit--better start sewing that cape and top hat. --Ava Natov

AbraCadabra!!A first Magic set for my 5 year old, he loves it!! He and his friends have created magic acts for each other and have laughed all the way. The tricks are easy enough for their age to try, and remember how to do. The directions come with pictures, so they can figure them out if the wording is too comlplicated. The set itself is durable enough fot most tricks to be done over and over. The blocks take some reshaping and the rabbit ring trick does not really fit right, but overall, a good first set. It definately was the hit of a rainy Sunday!!

Perfect for the beginner magicianThis is an easy to understand and simple to set-up magic kit for the first time magician. If your child is a reader, then they are capable of presenting most of the tricks independently. A plus! My seven year old enjoys demonstrating his magic tricks for family. His four year old sister loves to watch, and if allowed, to be an assistant. A great buy!

Lots of fun!My son got this kit as a gift. The durability is as good as that of the next. It must be taken care of. It's not a rough and tough item. We've had many magic shows...and it is still around 3 years later because it is put away in the box and up on the shelf when not being played with. It is magical fun for the little magicians and builds confidence too. In our house one adult helped "learn" the tricks while all others were in the audience at the big show.

It's just a hatSomehow I was expecting a full costume instead of just a hat. Maybe because it appeared along with the other Halloween costume Amazon was selling. The description never said it was just a hat, how about saying "Toddler B-day Cake Hat". Anyway, we still had a little laugh after getting over the fact "it's just a hat."

Talk of the town!The birthday is the neatest start to a child's special day! The hat is lightweight and fun! My one year old loved the attention she received from family and friends due to the hat! I would definitely recommend it!
BIRTHDAY HATOh my Lord...Please dont buy this hat. I feel sorry for every child that has to be put through the torture of wearing it. It looks so stupid! Its so heavy for the baby, as you can see in the picture that kid is soooo uncomfortable....Tell ya what---YOU wear a stupid hat for your next birthday and tell me how YOU feel! Just cause the baby isnt old enough to tell you to jump off a bridge with that hat shouldnt mean he should have to suffer looking back at pictures of it!
