Movie Victims

Anyone who gets this for their kid should consider having some type of psychiatric evaluation done. This is a set of figurines that are supposed to be the victims from a B movie. They are in various poses with the terrified look of a someone being chased by Freddy Kreuger. Now, granted, most boys do use their imagination and pretend to sometimes “kill” their action figures, so maybe this isn’t such a bad idea after all.

Tree toys

I sometimes think that kids have some of the neatest toys possible. All the little things toys can, the clicks, the whirs, the colors, the sounds are just tailor made for happiness. I can honestly foresee me and my newborn having equal amounts of fun at Christmas and birthdays with the new toys.

When I see stuff like this cat play center, I almost wish I was a cat myself. I can honestly imagine myself having a lot of fun with one of these things. I guess this could be the equivalent of a tree house for humans, but cats are much more agile, so there’s less risk of broken bones.

I was one of those kids who grew up playing with toys when the original Star Wars trilogy came out. i was fortunate to have some of the toys, but there were always some that were out of my parents price range. Now, these toys seem to be making a comeback. I remember thinking these orange colored dual cars were pretty cool.

FlyTech FairyFly SlowFlake

My niece received the FlyTech FairyFly SlowFlake by WowWee and she loves it. Here is what is included in the package:

The Fairy Flier
The Remote Control
The Stand (the FairyFly controller forms half of the stand)
The Instruction Book

There are no batteries included. Each remote control needs 4 “AA” batteries. Also, there are no replacement wings included.

At first glance, I thought the Fairy was cute! Her foam body is flesh toned and she wears a light purple dress. She has a slight smile, pointed ears, large eyes, and a pixie haircut. The wings are decorated with swirls of white and blue, and have snowflake graphics on the background.

I thought the fairy flew quite well. You must remember, they are made to fly in a simple manner. They need to controlled well, which is why this toy is for children 6 and up. They are unable to recover their hover when they bump into a wall.

They use InfraRed control technology, which doesn’t work well in bright sunlight. They also are very light, and easily pushed around by the slightest breeze or draft. This toy is best used ina large room indoors.
