Mattel Reviews

My little boy loves his Justice League Superheroes, however, this toy proved to be a disappointment to us. Its durability is quite poor. Everytime he tries to put Flash in or out of the cockpit, the door comes off. Trying to separate the aircraft into two separate ones is no easy task--even for an adult. My four year old is constantly asking me to put it together and take it apart because he cannot do it himself. This toy has been truly frustrating for him and he gets so aggravated with it constantly falling apart.

(Although usually very generous in rating toys, my son didn't play with this vehicle long enough to aid me in developing any positive aspects to share, as a result the rating is poor...As tolerant and patient as my son is, he was disgusted with it's design and durability and returned to his Bionicles) And I can't blame him. This toy is a mess.

First, the box tells us that this vehicle is appropriate for 4 years and above...If this mean just holding it and making it pretend fly, sure; but to do anything else there is No way this toy can be handled by a 4 year old, or 5, 6, 7, 8....year old!....

Really! Separating this vehicle into 2 is no easy task! Since there is no mechanical release button, you literally have to yank it apart! It took me several pulls before I could get it apart. Which is really too bad, as this toy had so much potential: it easily holds two figures, separates into 2 real vehicles....but with it's poor design, it's not user friendly at all.

Yes, it's 'cool' looking, but your little one will get tired of asking you to yank it apart and then replace the doors that will keep falling off each time he opens them! As a result, my son hasn't touch his vehicle since Christmas!

It's way over priced and unless your little one is a BIG Justice League fan, pass this one up and hope for another vehicle next Christmas. If however, your little one must have it, buy it ONLY on sale, and make sure you're planning to play with your little one (you'll feel less annoyed and bothered each time he wants it repaired or separated....) and pray that he grows weary of it.

Not all was lost for us. I used this toy as an example on why we need to be good consumers. My little guy and I talked about "how things aren't what they seem" sometimes...then we talked about how we could make better choices in light of the reality that many toy makers will continue to make and sell cheap crap. So this purchase wasn't a TOTAL bust.

Good Luck

i relly don't know what to say about this toy. is is so flimsy and these magical accecories ARE SO tiny. oh and christie and barbie and treresea mast really hate each other for two resons. i cristine this toy salon bowling mayhem! i tried to get christie to keep the spiders oops i mean hair extentions to stay on her head but they caught on to teresea's hand which pulled her and knocked out barbie and splling water then knoking the playset down.this reallly seams like war or wrestiling! and they also hate one another for bothering to come to this cheap salon! wihch ever doll decided to come her probably got beat up! i hate this toy! (...)

She DOES NOT come w/ the set!!! These kind folks were nice enough to replace the first set to only send another that was still missing Kayla. Pool set is kind of cool but don't bother if you're only interested in the "Exclusive Kayla." So far, even the manufacturer's Customer Relations Dept. doesn't know if she exists!

I'll be honest...the only reason I bought these is because I'm gradually becoming a more hardcore MotU collector. They're kinda small and expensive...and their paint jobs need to be done more carefully. Play factor is pretty low. Why? These are more like figurines to be displayed, rather than action figures...although technically they have one point of articulation in the waist. Also, they are engaged to a base, so if I was trying to act out battles, that would just annoy me...but that's my personal aesthetics. As toys, they fall short...for display, they are more like trinkets or spacefillers. Use your judgement before buying.

This was a gift for my 4 yr old son. He is not very interested in all the little pieces and it is difficult for him to set up by himself. He played with it for about 1 hour and hasn't picked it up since. I suggest this is better for an older child 8+.

Complete junk. My son was very disappointed with this toy (as was my husband). The tracks do not stay attached and the other pieces continually fall off. It looked like a lot of fun on the picture. However, my son never plays with it.

My son was so excited to get his car wash; but instead of making him happy, all it did was cause him frustration and upsetment because it never worked properly. If I had kept the box, I would have returned it to the store we purchased it from. The only thing worse than the huge rip-off it was, was seeing how much it disappointed my son.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. WHAT A JOKE!! Assembly was frustrating at best, and it wouldn't stay together once we finally put it together. I would have returned it, but we were on the other side of the county at the time, and, being a pathetic optimist, I thought I could fix it with super glue. I am glad that we never put water in it since everyone said it leaks profusely. ...

Batman doesn't wear purple. A metallic shiny logo won't help him blend into the shadows. Horrible. F

Beause that's the only way he's going to leave the batcave dressed in that. I don't understand why Mattel keeps force-feeding its consumers these ridiculous variant repaints. And even if you are going to present a variant, at least adhere to the stasndards of the Dark Knight. The other variants such as the night patrol Batman are actually quiet good. Don't buy this for yourself or for you kid. No matter, how young they still know Batman is not gonna dress like that. It's gonna wind up on the bottom of the toy bin.

It's unanimous - this race track is pretty sad. Combine tight turns with motorcycles with a high center of gravity.... and you get to constantly put them back on the track after they go flying off. I should have gone with my gut instinct and bought the track with the race cars instead.

Assembly was easy, however, the bikes will not stay on the track no matter how experienced you are. I would not recommend this to anyone with children, because even they were disappointed (which is hard to do). If you do purchase this item, you will be writing a review similar to this one. Very disappointed ... a big waste of time.

I purchased this for my 5 year old son for Christmas and had to return it. The motorcycles run on grooves or slots on the track and go too fast to stay on the track. They were flying off at every turn in the track and then had to be repositioned and started again. Also, the track was difficult to put together and take apart.

I am a big fan of barbie, but after this public break up with Ken, Im not sure if i can enjoy my days playing with Barbie, knowing that Ken is no longer around, and a sun bleached kid named Blain from Australia has broken up the sweet 43 years of dating with Barbie and Ken. It's hard to deal with, and i hope i can cope, they should have at least made him look a little bit more muscular!although i believe that ken would be the way to go.

my aunt got me this for my birthday. this toy is not fun. Sence barbie "broke up" with ken who is he gona date. i dont have any theresas or kristys. all i have is barbie dolls. i told my aunt and my mom i already have 73 barbies just barbies. so i wont get any more. Im not wasting my money an a Kristy or theresa. i did 1 for educational. what do you learn from this guy? not to date anyone else besides dumb blondes when you get dumped. i gave it 1 for duribality cuase his head kept falling off and the only way to get it back to normal is to squash it down so he has no neck. if you like unrealistic to much tan and toatly gay waste your money. him sayin dont buy it

Mattel has designed and manufactured hundreds of gorgeous Barbie dolls with magnificent clothing and stylish and/or ornate hairdos. Why can't they design a Ken doll that doesn't look like a square peg in a round hole?
This Cali Ken doll is a notch up from many other Kens in that his hair is approaching a style, albeit windblown. But look at this stance and the ridiculous look on his face. He looks shell-shocked.
I like his outfit. At least it doesn't look like it is falling off of him like most of Ken's suits and shirts do.
I would not buy it. I just don't think boy dolls are fun to play with. If I were going to buy a boy doll, it would be a GI Joe.

this doll is a clumsy stupid and hideus if i were this doll i would change my stile write away when i got this doll i put this doll out of site igy
hink this doll is relly dumb

this comes with comes with a trojan! if you now what it is! well mine did! my daughter was stunned and we tossed it! the doll is ugly!
