Editorial Review

This microcosm of Neopets is a portable world for your pocket. Meridell, the land of heroes and legends that was long hidden within Neopia has now been uncovered and is delightfully rendered here in miniature. The pocket Neopet world folds up into a small gold colored pod that you can take anywhere. Open up the case and you can play with your three Neopets: Lupe, Draik, and Lxi. Name them, choose their personalities and preferences, and then proceed to play with, feed, and generally care for them. The sensors in the electronic ports they sit in know which pet you're playing with. There are six games you can play on the small LCD screen with four toggle buttons--they aren't the most engaging games, but winning them scores you points you'll need to buy food and toys for your pet. If you don't give your pet everything it needs, it will run away. Of course, you can always reprogram it to come back to you. There are three little slots to tuck the pets neatly into when you close up the case and hit the road. --Megan Sullivan ... Read more

This game is OK...
This game is very cute, but the instructions that come with the it are not clear. The game can become frustrating after a while. It is also a low-tech game and can have some problems.

Awsome toy
This toy is so cool,i couldn't find it in stores so i ordered it online,i have a regular pocket neopet,but this one is cooler.I do not no what those other people are thinking,well duh the graphics are bad,what do u expect for 20 dollars,A flatscreen moniter?I think it works just fine the way the graphics are,and the neopoints aren't hard to get ,it a fun challenge,and that's what teaches you responsibility,so if you don't care about it it will leave you,and if yo have skewl,you can just turn it off,thats a good feature for when you are goin somewhere and you don't want to take it with you,It really makes you think about about the responsibiliy of taking care of a real pet,over all this is a worth it toy if your into neopets.

I bet this will be fun...until your pet runs away.
What i have heard is that the pet runs away and has specific times for everything. That is definitly a con. Some people have school ya know!

pros: fun, and teaches responsibility
cons: your pet runs away, has specific times, and neopoints are hard to get.
I recommend the voice activated neopet instead

Only mediocre.
I am an avid Neopets fan and when I heard they were coming out with merchedise, I was quite pleased.
This product, however, disapointed me. The screen is too smal to do anything with. THe games are fun, yet the graphics are someof the worst I've ever seen. In the ned, I endd up taking the Neopets (A Lupe, Ixi, and Draik) and playing with them without the set. I would recomend a voice activated pet, rather then this game.

Fun1
This toy right here was sooo kewl and fun! It teaches you how to take care of pets very good. You can play fun games to earn money and such to buy food,toys,and petpets. I would recommend this to any kid who is 8 and up and is hooked on neopets ... Read more

Editorial Review

If everyone knew how incredibly cool life in the sewer could actually be, perhaps a lot more people would live down there. Well, maybe not. But for the moment, the underground catacombs, depicted here in a large and intricate play set, are mostly populated by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their rat master Splinter, and various assorted bad guys out to defeat them. While none of those characters are represented here in action figure form, anyone who already has those figures (or any action figures, really) will find plenty of fun things going on in the Turtle's lair. A working, hand-cranked elevator travels from street level to the two levels below while a rope slide lets the boys rappel from one floor to the next. The centerpiece of the set is a combat area where figures placed on specific points on the floor can be made to spin around when you twist their corresponding knobs. There are also spring-loaded plunger missiles, a trap door, and a couch that springs back. All told, the lair play set is just as fun, silly, and complex as the Turtles themselves. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Cute, but falls apart
My son was so excited to get this toy, but very disappointed when it continually fell apart. We even super glued the parts together and it still came apart.

AWFUL TOY
This toy is awful!!!! It constantly falls apart when my boys are playing with it (ages 6 and 3). I am very unhappy with this purchase!!! It was expensive to be such a disappointment!!!!!

Every TMNT fan needs one!!
I bought this for my 5 year old this spring. I got a great deal on clearance. The kids that come over to play love it. And best of all it folds up and has a handle so you can drag it around like a suitcase.

I thought the original price was a little much but after getting it out of the box I found out why. In our set we got 2 action figures, a vehicle, and various other NT Lair items.

great toy!
This is a great toy , however it is on sale for $9.99 at JC Penney.com! My 4 year old nephew loves the turtles! He loved when I bought him this play sets !He sat & played with it for hours!

A piece of junk!!!
My gentle 5-year-old son received this toy from Santa. The toy is made so cheap, it's a total rip off. He's hardly played with it, because it keeps falling apart. The plastic is thin and when connected (the sides, top and floor have to keep being put together), it stays until you accidently bump it or try to make the turtles scale the wall. If it was made all one piece it would've been so much better. I've never been so disappointed with a purchase. It's worth maybe $5 not $50. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This Turtle truck measures in at just over a foot long and is packed with plenty of "hey neat!" features, including spring-fired missiles and a towing winch. Best of all, there’s plenty of room inside for turtle action figures, or whatever other action figures you think would enjoy riding in style. The side doors don’t open, but the top does, making it even easier to load up the truck before heading off to the sewers to stop the bad guys. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Turtle truck good buy
I bought this for my 5 yr. old. He loves it. Has missles that shoot out and is easy to use. Also, pretty durable. Another plus is the space inside the truck. My son stores his weapons and ninjas in it when not using truck, so he doesnt lose any pieces.

Good sized! Holds 3-4 figures! Kids love it!
The deluxe armored truck was a great gift! My boys (6 & 9yr) have had a good deal of fun with it and it has withstood their roughness. They love the shooting missiles and the fact more than one figure can fit inside. Great toy!

Kids love it
This toy is a hit with the 3 and 5 year old, but the roof comes off all the time. The disc shooter broke on the second day, the ramp in the back is hard to get back in and falls off. I'm just glad I got it on Clearance for $10.00.

An Ok Toy But There Is One Big Problem
The new TMNT line is pretty neat so far but it can't beat the old line. This vehicle has some AWEWSOME detail. The huge problem is that aside from April and Splinter, no one can sit in it. The Turtle's legs can't be put in a sitting position. They have to stand in the Battle Shell. If you turn their legs backwards they can be put into a sitting postition but their leg joints loosen up pretty bad. I would really only reccomend theis to a die-hard TMNT fan. The Party WaGON FROM THE ORIGINAL LINE IS 100 TIMES BETTER.

Turtles Are Great ! ! !
12 - 15 Years ago Turtles were very popular toys... It is Great to see them come back on the shelf and available. After ordering I recieved the product quickly in GOOD condition This toy appears that it should only be played by those who can safely use action figures that have small parts. ... Read more

Excellent!
We ordered Superman & Batman Large Figures.
Excellent condition at a very good price.

Looks great
The great thing about this toy is that it looks awesome in packaging and is therefore great for displaying. It is an exact replica of the Superman from the JLA animated series. Another high point is that it is relatively inexpensive in comparison to the seriously overpriced Maquettes.

But the bad thing about it is that, for an action figure it has severly limited articulation. The arms and the neck move and that's basically it. But even more than that is that, it's near impossible to display this out of the box due to its seriously disproportionate upper body and lower body.

But if you are buying for a kid like my six-year old cousin who is a big fan of the JLA you won't care about any of those articulation or display complaints. They'll just be ecstatic having the toy in their hands. I also bought one but I am happy displaying it in the box. In my opinion, it's a pretty decent toy for kids and collectors.

Great, but only the guys? Where are WW and HG?
Great, kids will love this. It will be excellent for Xmas.

BUT WHERE ARE WONDER WOMAN AND HAWKGIRL?
Sheesh.

Excellet Art Deco replica of JLA on Cartoon channel
I have Green Lantern, Flash and Supe. Supe is particularly nice with the cape.

All 3 are excellent replicas of the marquettes from the JLA cartoon series. I will likely get Batman to complete the set since I have been so pleased with the 3 already.
Great substitute if you don't want to spend an insane amount of money on the marquettes. ... Read more

Its Ok.
It is a flash figure. Until DC Comics and Mattel decide to do something along the lines of DC Legends, similar to Toy Biz' Marvel Legends, we have to be thankful for ANYTHING that comes out.

Unfortunately, however, there is no detail to this line of figures. The bright side is, they do resemble the animated series, in that it is as 2 dimensional, as a drawing.

Nevertheless, since there seems to be a lack of variety in the DC world for reasonablly priced superhero figures, some accolades and applause is deservant for Mattel. We can only hope they drastically improve on the design quality; and, thank them for not gouging us on this line. A much better value than the 4 inch versions.

Where's Green Lantern?
I think these large Justice League figures are great. I personally am not disappointed in the lack of articulation (joints where the figure's limbs can move), since I'm getting these for my very young son, and he doesn't care. Besides, these figures are done in the highly simplified "cartoon" style, which to me indicates that they'd naturally be less intricate mechanically. My GRIPE is that many of these toys are not shipped in equal quantities, so there are fewer of one than the others. I've seen tons of Batman figures, but not one Green Lantern, for instance. Many of these scarcer figures are horded by collectors/dealers, leaving people like me who actually want to buy them for their children with an incomplete set. It's sad this is the way the toy business works at times. STILL, these are great toys--very iconic, very well designed.

Great for collectors
If you can't afford the $... maquette, this is great substitute.
I say it's great for collectors becoz there are few points of articulation so it looks more like a statue than a toy.

Only cons is that the botton half of flash is a slightly different red than from the top. This is no noticeable from a distance though.

Morphing the Justice League !
WOW ! 10" of the Flash. These large Justice League figures are great for both the collector and for younger kids who can appreciate more figure to hold onto. As with all the Mattel DC Superhero figures released this year I cannot emphasize enough that all the figures need more articulation ! We know it can be done (see the Marvel Legends series figures). Honestly, at the price points these figures are at we as consumers are justified in expecting the much needed articulation. The figures are well done....Please give us figures which can be played with in the positions they are depicted in when they are in action !

FLASH!!!
This toy is so cool that kids should use it as a collectors item. ... Read more

Fun to build, tricky to play with
Based on the response from my 6-year-old son, this toy is pretty cool. The cycle was challenging to build, however the instructions were very easy to follow. The Toa builds very similarly to other Bionicles and comes with his unique Mask of Light. The only problem we have is that the Toa's arms pop off when you take him off of his cycle, which can become a little frustrating. All-in-all, good choice for a Bionicle lover.

will the bionicles keep on coming?
This is the third time around for these guys.They look too alike I think but they are OK!

Takanuva rulez!!!!!!
Takanuva could be a few dollars less expensive, maybe 4 or 5, but other than that it's an awesome toy! I reccomend it to ages 8 through 12. It's a little hard to build, but that's the fun part! It's cool putting the other Toas on Takanuva's motorcycle. One of the best things about Takanuva is his mask -it's so cool! I like putting other masks on him and putting his mask on Takua. I'm twelve, so kids of other ages might think different of Takanuva.

takanuva is sssooooooooooooooooooooooo cool by lehrahk780
woh this i gotta say is the most successful(did i spell that right?)seeing it is rated 5 stars all throgh the reviews. i thought the rahkshi better but anyways i got dissapointed on mnolg(for those that dont know its mata nui online game its not for sale it used to be availible on bionicle.com i heard its going to be availibe to all lego club members later) that i could fight makuta (i like to fight the big bad guys now all thats left is to fight cadohk and gahdok) i got exited but i got to the end and you couldnt that got me exited who made that rumer? then i got bionicle the game and i completed my lifes "dream" (lol) with takanuva if i somehow fight the borohk queens then i will like him even more

Takanuva, the strongest Toa.
This toy is really cool. It comes with the Mask of Light (which you can't get anywhere else) and a grey Tahu mask (people who have seen the Bionicle: the movie know what it is). You can build Takanuva and his cycle and it gets pretty tricky at one part, but that's the fun of it. Takanuva looks cooler than any of the other Toa. His mask stays on to his face better than the standard Toa mask and it shines when you expose it to light. He also comes with a staff which he can swing up and down like the other Toa. He can also attach it to his back. The cycle is cool too. If you push a switch it puts out its landing gear and stays in place. You can also put kraati in 3 secret compartments. It doesn't come with kraati so you should buy a pack of them seperatly. Overall this is a great thing to have, either for a display model or a toy to play with. You also might want to buy Makuta so you can combine him with Takanuva to make Takutanuva. Then you can pretend to destroy Mata Nui or use him to scare your little sister. ... Read more

very fun
This toy is really fun. first it comes with this ooze stuff that doesnt stain the carpet and doesnt ruin the figures or play set. It may be a little frustrating putting it togeather but the instructions were very deatailed. Heres a tip: dont lose the pieces or else will not be able to use it. put it togeather in a wide open space so you can always find the pieces.
I had no trouble with the pieces togeather (maybe the other review people had a deffective set lol)

Anyway i would reccommned this toy to your kids. it is defidently worth the money !

oh yeah and one more thing about the ooze stuff is that you should always keep in in the plastic barrel that it comes in and not on the floor. or else you will have alot of stuff sticking to it like i do.

Disappointed!
My son received this for Christmas. He got frustrated quickly trying to put it together, and it took the adults several hours to assemble, then broke apart the minute we picked it up to move it. After many attempts to put it together and keep it that way, the pieces now sit in a toybox, forgotten. He likes the little turtle characters and the fighting platform, but the lair itself is a waste of time & money.

I really enjoy this toy!
I love this toy! being a big fan of the Ninja Turtles, I enjoyed playing with the characters and making my own adventures. Two things I like about this set is that it comes with a miniature version of the Sewer Slider, the Ninja Turtles Go-Kart, and some Amazing Mutagen Sewer Sludge that does not stick to the set, making it possible to dump it on the Shredder and his Foot Soldiers without a sticky mess! I would recommend this set and the two other Ninja Turtle Mega Bloks sets to any Ninja Turtle Fan! This set only took me about an hour to complete, but I have been building with Legos and Mega Bloks for many years, so it might take other people longer to complete. The only problem I found with it was I had a hard time trying to make the couch stick to the set, but otherwise it is a very fun and easy set!

Awesome toy
My 11yr old son loves this toy. I was impressed with details on the lair and the number of figures that are included for the price. We have left it assembled and haven't had any problems it coming apart. It's one of his favorites.

A zillion itty-bitty pieces
This sucker took me 2 hours to put together...it comes with a ton of itty bitty pieces, to make a 2-story building, with a street on top of it. We're talking lots of the 2-dot legos here. Even the tv set has about 14 pieces, as does the couch! Needless to say, I'm not tossing this thing back into the general lego pile. It does have a cute car, and little weapons, and 1-inch figures, and my kid thought the ooze was super cool...for about 15 minutes on Christmas morning. I don't know why, but I got 4 turtle-mainiacs (ages 5-8) running through the house, and this thing just sits there. The Battle Shell Mobile, which holds 4 of the 5-inch figures, and shoots missiles, is a much better turtle toy. ... Read more

Which top will win? Budding Beybladers can square off in this mobile Beystadium. Made of sturdy, shiny blue and green plastic, it features a Beyblade Battle Association (BBA) regulation-size battle surface and penalty pockets that fold open. The secure storage compartment underneath unlocks with sliding levers and stores up to 10 Beyblade tops and up to four launchers, as well as additional weight disks and attack rings. The whole thing folds neatly together and is easy to carry. Tops and launchers are sold separately. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

What to get a boy for his birthday?
From a Mom of Girls the feedback from other reviewers was very helpful when picking something for a boys' Birthday. Now I don't seem out of touch. THANKS!!!

From a Mom's perspective!
I bought this for my 8 year old and I love it! I love that it folds and is portable, unlike every other huge and flimsy stadium. It stores beyblades and is easy to take anywhere. I especially like that I can put it away in a closet or drawer easily out-of-sight! And besides all these "mom" perspective opinions, my son LOVES it!

Awsome!!!!
I think this is the best stadium you can buy. It is worth spending the extra money on this stadium because it will hold up 100X better then a regular stadum, it will cut down on money for a box to store your tops and lanchers and in easy to put away. I am a beginer at beybladeing but i find tis very hepfull

(P.S. you can fit more tops if you take them apart each time it might be a hassle (...)

The Revolutionary Beybstadium
The Mobile Beystadium is a great (if not the best) choice to consider buying. It's light and portable, and can carry equipment inside to reduce space taken while travelling. Players can open or close the Penalty Pockets for more fun and strategy. The slope of the stadium isn't too steep, though. With upcoming Engine Gear and Hard Metal System Tops, this stadium would be most compatible with them. The Mobile Beystadium has steep slopes so that the EG and HMS tops have just as much as a fair advantage. This Stadium is one of the most durable, due to it's strong plastic floor and walls.

Mobile Beystadium: A Requirement for a REAL Beyblader
The Mobile Beystadium is a one-of-a-kind stadium. It is manufatured by Hasbro and nothing like this has been released in Japan. I will now discuss pros and cons of the Mobile BeyStadium.

PROS:
- The Mobile Beystadium is portable
- It folds up into about a nice one-inch thick and twelve-inch wide carrying case with a nice durable handle. Parents like it becuase its easier to store and put away.
- The plastic for the Mobile Beystadium is about TEN TIMES stronger than used for the regular Beystadiums.
- There is a nice storage compartment for a small collection of Beyblades and a few rip cords and launchers.
- It can still be used with the magna tray: simply remove the storage compartment, set it a side, and place the Mobile Beystadium without the bottom compartment on to the Magna Tray.
- There's a nice even slope.
- The Mobile Beystadium HAS NO POCKETS!! Instead, it has three flaps that BARELY allow a Beyblade to go through.

CONS:
- The slope isn't steep enough to control and prevent attack type Beyblades from hitting the walls. It's fine with most common attack types.

Overall this is a VERY good Beystadium to Purchase. It'll last longer than regular Beystadiums and perfect for that Beyblader on the go. So LET...IT...RIP!!! ... Read more

Cool toy
This is pretty cool.There is a lot of detail, but the other reviewer was right.The paint job is a bit sloppy, and I had to use a nail file to pry my cockpit door open.But overall it's cool looking and pretty decent.

Always wanted one... but
First off, the detail is great on this craft. Paint job is ok, very clean and neat. The plastic appears to be the same plastic as typical build it yourself models (as with such models, I would not recommend playing with it). Very nice that Joyride Studios did the assembly and paint work for you.

Here comes my disappointment... the model is seems glued together with super glue of sorts and the vapors coated one of the engines and captured a factory workers finger print which can be seen depending on angle and lighting.

The other point is the cockpit hatch on mine doesnt open, it seems to have been glued shut at the factory. So the two included tiny cylon figures included have no home. :(

Overall it was worth the price to have in my display collection.

Eagerly anticipated for 27 years
Finally! Fans of accurately molded and painted spaceship toys have had this Cylon Raider and the companion Viper on their wish lists forever. From the promo pics and photos of actual packages, this looks similar to the Star Wars Action Fleet toys, with even more detail paid to accuracy of scale. For example, the cockpit doesn't appear to have been oversized just to accommodate the tiny action figures.

It's the perfect size for play, with great play features like retractable gear and opening cockpit. If this thing is as durable as the sturdy Action Fleet, it's a no-brainer home run for fans of this toy genre.

Now, please bring us toys based on the new Battlestar Galactica. ... Read more

"Mom!! This is so COOL!!!"
The exact words of my four-year-old about this toy. He loves the missile action and the lazer feature of Buzz. Also, takes a lickin and still going strong (2 year old loves it as well.) One of the cooler Buzz's...the coolest according to my son.

Back thing falls off
My son loves buzz a lot. His older brother and sister love him too. It is annoying that the back thing to fly falls off alot. It needs to be attached much better.
My 3 kids love it. It's good for girls as well as boys.

The Cost
I recently bought this toy for my son's 4th birthday and I need to say I bought it at Wal Mart and only paid 19.99 for it which it quite a savings compared to Target.

Buzz loving son
My son, who is 2 1/2 years old absolutely loves his Buzz Lightyear. Since receiving it he has played with it non-stop. The only thing that drives me crazy is that the back piece and the wings keep popping off. They are easily repairable, just snap them back in place, but it tends to be irritating to have to keep doing it over and over.

Boy best friend
My son received this toy for his birthday and loves it. He carries it around with him everywhere. It is not very educational, but it is a very durable toy than can be taken everywhere to keep the childs mind occupied. ... Read more
