Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot The Monster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this for his 4th birthday. He was THRILLED to get it, and couldn't wait to get it home and start playing with it. He even tried to take it to bed the first night!
The first few days, he played with it repeatedly throughout the day. After a few days, he tired of it. He still enjoys the remote control aspect, but only uses it for 5 minutes or so at a time.
Pros: The BigFoot can do some pretty neat stuff, especially to a 4-year old boy! With the touch of a button, he roars, flips, burps, yells and throws a ball. The first time my son had him flip, he thought it was amazing and couldn't wait to do it over and over again. The remote is also easy to operate, and has just enough buttons to make it interesting and not overly complicated for the age group.
Cons: Some of the actions are not performed quite as smoothly or easily as on the commercials. For instance, to get the BigFoot to throw the ball, you have to place the ball just so, and hope the mechanical thumb closes around it. If it doesn't lock or close tight enough, the ball just falls right back out. Also, the ball doesn't really get thrown so much as dropped with style. Still entertaining for a 4-year old, but only after many, many frustrating efforts getting the ball to stick. Another con is the sheer size/weight of the toy. When it flips over or falls backwards, it lands with a boom. My son used it in a bedroom with laminate wood floor, and there is now a little chip in the floor from the BigFoot landing with such force. It makes odd mechanical noises when it breaths and moves its arms in resting mode, and when it moves around. This makes it a little hard to hear it talk at times, over the whirring. Lastly, and this is the one that my son wishes were different - it only moves backwards and forwards, not side to side. If you're trying to steer it around the room, good luck!
Overall, it's a pretty darned neat toy. For the money, I wish they'd made it more maneuverable and fixed the ball throwing.

Airzooka Air Gun - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)....it doesn't mean this is low! My boys LOVE this! As the boys get older I've had to let go of my ideal toys and give in to some harmless fun. The Airzooka is fun and harmless... well so long as nothing light and fragile is nearby!
It's a bit hard to work when you're small. You have to hold the handle and pull with the other hand - a bit tough. We've only had this for 3 days so I cannot say how long it will last. But it's FUN. Okay, so even I have gotten into blowing people around.
THE DOWNSIDE:
It's not so easy to aim, is kind of large, and is hard for smaller/weaker children and adults. It could possibly break something and if your kids are so inclined, it could be used to torture pets with bursts of air. Or maybe people... better warn Grandma and tell Grandpa to put extra paste on the toupee!
BUT if you're fully aware of the downside, I can still approve this fun thing.

Launch A Full Air Assault - Without Ever Leaving The Ground! Airzooka is the 'fun gun' that blows a harmless ball of air towards any object, person (or animal!). The airball will travel up to thirty feet and beyond... Cackle with amusement as, seemingly from nowhere, you are able to mess up a person's hair, ruffle their shirt, dress, or TPS reports from a distance, or just plain blow 'em away!. The Airzooka is surprisingly accurate and Office Dogs Loathe Them!. But it's so fun to watch Cisco twenty feet away suddenly leap a foot into the air because of the ghost like ball of air that just nailed him. Needless to say all our office dogs are generating AirZooka Psychosis, but we suppose that's part of being an office dog. Requiring no batteries or electricity, AirZooka operates simply by pulling and releasing a built-in elastic air launcher. And here's the best part: because it shoots air, you'll never run out of ammo (unless you happen to be on the moon!). Dimensions: AirZooka Chamber, 10 1/2" x 10 x 3/4" x 7 1/2"
