Hiking Reviews

Well, I think this toy is much MUCH better than the single. I love this toy, the only reason i put 1 on the educational is because i think it isnt made to educate but to entertain, thats why i love it!!! The only thing i dislike about this toy is the stupid face expression. plus the horse is great for other figures you might have. Other than that this,the toy is great :). i suggest you get this very enjoyable toy. cya

This set is so good, the only better one is the Gandalf and Shadowfax one, PUT IT BACK ON, AMAMZON, and it's better than the single edition. It's tied in my book w/the King Aragorn. Get it.

I absolutely love all the Beast and Riders sets... The yare fantastic! I have collected each one. The Aragorn and Brego set is awesome. The clothes on both are very well detailed and are exact to the movie.

This toy is great. Not only is it a "proportion" size to a real lion cub, it's soft and adorable!I love her tail too.It's so big and fuzzy.Being 13 some people find plushes dumb but in this case they are all wrong. Even though this toy is not interactive, it sure is worth your purchase.It's also very durable, and nicley made and shows the characteristics of the 'real' Nala.
(*_*)

Nala is so cute and cuddly, I just love her! I love the fact that she has a larger size to her than most Lion King toys which makes her nice to sit in a corner of a room. She is made with such soft, fuzzy material! Also she has beautiful bright green eyes and a pink nose, with a cute curious expression on her face. It really is a great offer to get something so good for free! I picked Nala over Simba because I think she is cuter, plus I like the way she is posed better, in a sitting position.

If there was so high a demand. How many did they send out to stores? I know there are many kids and parents that spend in your stores.. They are great....We have spent alot the past couple of years misc items starting all over and still big things to come. We have went overboard with our first daughter, after having 2 boys 19 years ago...it's been great starting all over. I wasn't sure ....My daughter like others have enjoyed disney and princesses items, they have gotten better thru the years..

Thanks Lisa

I am the #1 Lion King fan that I know, and this is one of my favorite toys. She is sweet and soft, and her voice is adorible. I sleep with her every night.

This toy is great and it is soooo sweet!
I love that they are making toys for the LION KING again and actually a BABY Nala one at that!
She talks and purrs etc. and even has an adorable blanket too!!
And hay...
This toy isnt just for little kids!!!
IM 13 and even I like it!!!
????!!!!!

My little girl fell in love with Cradlin' Nala instantly....her voice is melodious and the voice box is not hard to push at all, it responds instantly. Nala is very soft, even I had a hard time putting her down!! The price is a bit high for my taste but I do plan on getting all of the Nala's.

I just ordered this game but have played it often. My sister has one and we always play when we are together. Now I will have my own. If you love cribbage, you'll love this.

I purchased this game for my mother for Christmas. My family has played a lot of cribbage and scrabble through the years. We loved this game and all three generations played together (ages 12-66). It is a well-made, durable, easy to learn (provided you know the basics of cribbage scoring), interesting game. It moves a little faster than scrabble and is not quite as much brain strain. A great game, fun for all, one we will not get tired of playing.

I have played this game with adults and my 10 and 11 year old granddaughters. All I have played with have totally enjoyed this game. I am thrilled to see if offered in the U.S. as was told it was only available in Canada.
If you like cribbage this game is a MUST

Wow, he rocks!!! You know the Pippin from fotr? ttt? This one's face is waaaaaay better, though there's still room for improvemnt. I got kinda physco and chopped off his botton on his back. lol, I hate those STUPID THINGS!!! I mean, w/ a cloth cloak not so bad, but his is big.
But, ingnore my ranting, he's really awesome.

This figure is so cool. I just got it this week and it is so cool. Basically like everyone else has said, it has incredible detail like the silver tree on his clothes, the helmet, and even his feet are dirty. The only thing i dont like about it is that you can hardly take the cape off and when you do it is almost impossible to get back on again. I'll NEVER try that again. That is probably just for me though because i like to take off all of my figures capes and cloaks and weapons.

This toy is awesome! I am aware of the fact that it has no educational value, but giving it anything but the top score would be an abonimation.

This thing is soo fun to play with. He stares at you. If you don't like that you can bend his arm behind his leg. He climbs a wall. If you don't like that he can also cling onto a friend's shirt and scare him out of his wits when he goes to tie his shoes. Hes a lord of the rings action figure. If you dont like that, you can buy a barbie and play with that instead. Hes SMEAGOL/GOllUM!
Now if you dont like that, you're crazy.

This figure is awesome. I got him last week and still haven't found all the points of articulation. He is Super-Posable. The only thing is that he might be too posable and just feels like he is going to fall apart. But i dont think it will. I also like the wall and use it for reenacting scenes from the movie. He also looks exactly like Smeagol from the film. I got him from KB Toys(store at our mall if you dont know what im talking about) for FREE!!!!!! I dont know why it is free because i think it is awesome and more people should buy it. Overall this figure is just simply awesome.

I bought this figure today at Target for only $1.74. It isn't Gollum, it's Smeagol, but it's pratically the same. I haven't tried his wall climbing action yet, but the figure itself is very fun to play with. He's so flexible, but it's not a good idea to bend him too much, he doesn't seem to be very durable. But he's so cute! I'm a girl, and I like collecting action figures. (...) He *is* a "real" figure. He's all smiley and fun to play with. It looks just like Smeagol. (...)I'm glad I bought this figure.

My three year-old daughter can't put this toy down. She loves to change out the cartridges and books herself and listen to her favorite Disney stories over and over. It's worth every penny! We have all the books and we will buy the new ones as they come out. The batteries seem to hold up well, at least 15 hours of use so far on one set. Highly recommended toy!

This is better than read-a-long tapes, because if my son turns too many pages, it automatically knows to read the page that he turns to. With read-a-long tapes, I would have to fast forward or let him listen to the wrong pages. Very durable casing, and the cartridges are easy for him to change on his own. I love this product and he does too. Anyone know where to find a carrying case for multiple books and cartridges? The Toy itself only holds one cartridge and one book. Although some cartridges have 3 stories, it still only holds one book.

My twin boys got this as a third birthday gift. They sit down together and let the story reader read to them time and time again. It is amazing how they don't fight over it. I would recommend this to anyone.

This figure is so much better than the first figure. It looks like Eomer and it doesn't have a stupid expression on the face. He also has very nice armour on.

Eomer action figure is great!It has a sword slash that is a very original spring chop action.Its sword is very durable and his cape comes on and off very easily.There are no downsides about this action figure so buy it!

This toy is awesome. He is very detailed. He looks just like the actor who plays him. He has an extreamly good paint job, except for his sord, which the paint peels off of. He has a sword slash action, but he doesnt have a button, unlike many of my other figures. He is kinda short compared to my other figures, and he doesnt move very well. One leg is longer than the other but its not very noticable. But overall, I recomend any collector to get this figure.

It's fun when you have a big imagiation, but I like the toys with more action.

We gave the Large King's Castle to our 4 year old grandson for Christmas - assembled of course! He LOVES it!!! But DO allow yourself plenty of DAYS to assemble it. It is not difficult to assemble but, I would suggest the packagers get a better system for packaging the parts rather than the helter skelter packaging. I suggest all the parts to STEP 1 be packaged together, STEP 2 parts together, etc. Half the challenge was finding the parts to each step. Also, assemble it on a large board of some sort - a train board or low table. This toy lends itself to a great deal of imagination and creativity. He also received the pirates ship. What fun - the pirates invaded the castle and put all the knights in the dungeons and, of course, made off with the treasure chest. Despite the time it took us to assemble it, it was worth it.

I bought this castle for my ten year old son when he was four. He still plays with it. We have the baron battle tower, the western fort, the big pirate ship, and countless other small accessory sets. Yes, it is a delicate toy, and has to be played with carefully, somewhat like Lego sets, but the important thing is that it is probably the only toys that you buy for Christmas or birthdays, that your child will still be playing with a year later! Every winter, all of the playmobil gets set up and played with all winter long. My fifteen year old son is a "builder" and loves to put together all of this stuff. We have bought countless hotwheels, action figures, which we still buy, but playmobil and lego top them all for maintaining a childs interest and creativity. The fun part for me has always been to set up these huge sets with my boys the day after Christmas after the company has gone. Believe me, the price is worth it when it is a favorite with your child. This year my ten year old wants all the Viking stuff. Merry Christmas!

THIS GAME IS THE BEST EVER! I'VE PLAYED IT AND BEAT IT! THE CHARACTERS YOU CAN BE ARE ARAGORN, LEGOLAS, GIMLI, SAM, AND FRODO. THERE ARE ALSO THREE SECRET CHARACTERS THAT YOU CAN UNLOCK, WHICH ARE MERRY, PIPPIN, AND FARAMIR. IF YOU WANT LOTS OF ACTION, THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU! DEFINITLY BUY THIS GAME!

"The battle of Helm's Deep is over....the battle for Middle-Earth is about to begin..." The video game "The Two Towers" leaves us on such a note. The Return of the King, will be, no doubt in my mind, will be the most ground-breaking video game anyone has seen. The Two Towers was unbelievably on the money for what a movie-made-into-a-game should be like. A hack and slash game, it did not only have realistic and believable situations but the characters and their moves were authentic and true to the movie. So what, do you ask, were the faults of this game? I'm sorry did I say faults in a plural sense. In my mind, there was only one fault to the game. Unexplorable environments. And guess what...The return of the king compensates for that. Wish granted. It also presents 3 new characters to the list: Gandalf, Frodo, and Sam. Such diversity in choices can lead two ways: Absolutely a superb game, or a weak spread "butter over to much bread" game. Hold the toast, thank you very much....because the game is not going to be a weak undeveloped game! The Return of The King will also present co-op play which will make the adventure so real and authentic to the book (especially if you have friends are named Frodo and Sam!) All in all, this will be the game that we will play over and over and over again and still not get sick of the adventure!

This review is for the return of the king. I have found this imformation from the game maker's themselves in a chatroom. This game has no definite due date but so far it is in October 2003. You can play as Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Sam,and you can unlock 2-4 hidden characters. The smallest level is at least 2 times the size of the biggest Two Towers level. Also, unlike the Two Towers, it is 2 player, so you can play with a friend. And, you just don't play the parts from the Return of the King, but parts from the fellowship and the two towers. There are more enemies, such as mumakil(the giant elephants from the two towers movie), Haradrim(wicked men from the South),the Army of the dead, and mountain trolls instead of cave trolls. There will still be Uruk'hai and orcs but no goblins. Also, the enemies will be much smarter then the Two Towers. Lastly, expect everything from the Two Towers video game and more....
