We are BIG Ben 10 fans in our house, he's been around a while and I remember watching him with my now13-year-old!! We were really excited to find out that the new Ben 10 Movie was launched on Cartoon Network on October 10th at 10am! We were lucky enough to watch it straight away as Spud was off school due to isolation and 10am was right between 2 of his online lessons. We loved it and then these fab new toys arrived for Spud to review and carry on the Ben 10 to fun following watching the movie!
We were sent this SUPER COOL Deluxe Omnitrix Creator set, now Dj had an Omnitrix watch back in the day! It was just a basic watch that lit up and made noises, nothing like this piece of kit! The Omnitrix may look like just a cool watch, but the minute Ben discovers this device from another galaxy, his world changes forever! That's because the Omnitrix has the power to transform him into 10 different Alien Heroes, each with their own special powers. And once Ben activates the Omnitrix - It's Hero Time!
What Spud loved about this is that it wasn't just a watch, all the pieces can come off and you can totally customise the watch yourself to suit your own style! So you can compare with your friends and see who has the best design!! You get 3 faces, 2 sets of side pieces and 3 pairs of side pieces! There are literally 100's of combinations you can make. The Omnitrix creator set is priced at £29.99 and available in most good toys stores like Smyths and The Entertainer.
For bonus parent points it does require batteries, but they come included, YAY!! Spud also liked that each of the 3 different watch faces makes the Omnirix make different sound effects. Suitable for ages 3+, Spud is 9 and the Omnitrix fits him well with room to spare.
We were also sent 2 of the movie action figures to try out, Ben 10 Space Armor action figure, £9.99. As if turning into awesome aliens wasn’t enough, Ben’s new Omni-Naut Armor gives him what every ten-year-old dreams of the power to rocket into the depths of space! Ben is like no other kid in his new interstellar suit, speeding through the universe on his way to becoming the greatest hero in the galaxy! Also the Heatblast action figure, £9.99. It’s an intergalactic inferno with Heatblasts new Omni-Naut armor! This sizzling space Armor enhances Heatblasts fire powers and allows him to fly deep into space. And his flaming fist now packs a powerful, new fireblaster that’ll charbroil any alien enemy! If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the galaxy!
Spud loves to reenact scenes he's seen in the moves so these action figures were perfect for this imaginative play session. We fully encourage lots of imaginative play in this house, having 3 children on the autism spectrum means its few and far between, so I love watching him play with figures. The figures are well made and fully poseable, Bens mask flips open and closed, both figures are 10cm high, so a great size and ideal for popping in your bag of you need a toy on the go. These 3 Ben 10 toys got a big thumbs up from Spud, I would definitely recommend them, they would make a fab Christmas gift!
