#HASBRO ~ The Amazing Spider~Man ~ Mega Blaster Web Shooter Product #Review

ARV $19.99

The Amazing Spider~Man Mega Blast Web Shooter

Imagine SPIDER~MAN adventures at a while new level with this incredible Mega Blaster Web Shooter set~!!

You'll be able to fire web fluid or water just like your favourite web~crawling hero when you pull on the glove and attach the Mega Blaster Web Shooter to it.

Evil doesn't stand a chance when you've got your Mega Blaster Web Shooter Set~!!

Web shooter comes with 1 can of web fluid, 1 refillable water cartridge and 1 glove.

Recommended for ages 5 and up, not suitable for younger children due to small parts that may cause a choking hazard.

It is quite simple to use, place your gloved hand into the web base holder and use your two middle fingers to trigger the shooter just like SPIDER~MAN does~!!

Please note that the web fluid is a pressurized container and adult supervision should be considered.  Please read the back panel on the cartridge before use.

It took me a while to get this review in place as all my children wanted to see it in action together, and with busy summer schedules it wasn't an easy feat...but we finally managed and boy oh boy, did they EVER have a blast...uh...no pun intended...lol

We loved how the web string came out like silly string and many giggles ensued as they chased each other around outside, blasting webs and water at each other.  I liked the fact that AFTER the web string was gone, they were able to use the other canister, fill it up with water and continue on their adventures.  

The string and water have a fair range, anywhere from 6 to 10 feet range.  

We found on the smaller children's hands, it didn't fit properly, but my 15 year old had no issues getting it to fit properly, and it is not adjustable to fit smaller hands.  The can of web fluid lasted maybe five or ten minutes and when I went to investigate the prices on refills, I promptly told my children to just use the water option.  Refill cans seem to be priced higher than the web shooter itself, which I found kind of odd.  I was thinking I was going to find them for 3 cannisters for $10.00 but the over $20 price tag for one can is a bit too much for this frugal mother.

However, the product was a huge hit and my kids agreed that they would have spent their own money on it~!!

#HASBRO ~ The Amazing Spider~Man Hero Mask

ARV ~ $9.99

The Amazing Spider~Man Hero Mask

Feel just like your web~slinging hero with this awesome SPIDER~MAN Hero Mask~!!  

It conceals your true identity as you imagine web~crawling adventures and battles against the forces of darkness.

Evil doesn't stand a chance when you're in your Hero Mask~!!

Mask adjusts to fit most head sizes for ages 5 through adult.

Odin McBam~Bam using his Spidey senses~!!

Playing with my inner child...lol

Li'l Miss Peaches'n'Cream knows how to battle evil~!!

Ms. Alarm flashing her Spidey Moves~!!

Ms. Not~Quite~Right showing her Spidey hand actions...

As you can see...the kids and I had a blast wearing the Spider~Man Hero Mask and tearing up the neighborhood with our antics~!!

The only drawback to the mask is keeping your hair from falling into the eye sections of the mask.  As you can see, we all have long hair and all but Ms. Alarm (who was fortunate to have had her hair in a ponytail) had the hair in their eyes.  So for safety reasons, if your child's hair is long, keep it tied back while they are playing, especially if its unsupervised.

Really and truly, I can see these being a GREAT mask to have for Hallowe'en...your child is able to see out of the eye holes perfectly, giving them a nice, wide area in which to view out of.  The mask sits very comfortably on your head, though the bridge inside the mask may hinder some younger folks as it can feel a bit claustrophobic.  The velcro straps are secure and the mask does not slide around on your head when moving.

Hasbro's The Amazing Spider~Man Hero Mask would make the PERFECT accessory to your child's crime fighting needs...putting it on gives your imagination a chance to play and you can't help but busting out all your best Spidey moves~!!

#HASBRO ~ The Amazing Spider~Man Web Battlers Action Figures~!!

ARV ~ $9.99

The Amazing Web Battlers Assortment

This is the amazing web~crawling hero and hi sarch nemesis, The LIZARD, like you've never seen them~!!

These Web Battlers Action Figures look just like the characters from "THE AMAZING SPIDER~MAN" movie, but each has a surprise that his enemies won't be ready for~!!

When you squeeze his legs, he unleashes a furious attack.

Amp up your adventures with these Web Battlers Action Figures.

Each sold separately.

My son just adored his Amazing Spider~Man Web Battler as did many of his friends who are in awe of how wonderful the action figure character is.

The colours and definition are quite remarkable on such a toy and my son loves how nicely he fits in his hand.  My son has beefy hands and some of the smaller action figures discourage him, however, this Web Blaster was the exact size and fit he needed in order to play with his imagination properly.

He found it very easy to squeeze the legs together and after giving it a try I realized that it truly doesn't take much effort to squeeze the legs in order to activate the spin web feature that is attached to Spider~Man's hand.  This would be a very good toy for younger folks who are just beginning their coordination skills as it not only gives them a sense of accomplishment but it strengthens their hand muscles at the same time.

If you have a Spider~Man fan in your family, then this is one action figure that is sure to be a HUGE hit~!!

HASBRO ~ Spider~Man Spider Strike Battle Racer

ARV ~ $24.99

The Amazing Spider~Man Spider Strike Battle Racer

Buckle up, because your Spider~Man adventures will never be the same once you've got the Spider Strike Battle Racer.  Your Spider~Man figure rides in the seat and when he needs more than webs to chase down evil and stop it.  When his enemies least expect it, push down the vehicle's spoiler and launch the retractable web claw.  

Use your Spidey sense to stop criminals in their tracks with a sneak attack from the Spider Strike Battle Racer.  Shoot Spidey out to capture crooks and he swings into action.  

Includes a poseable 4" Spider~Man action figure
Swinging web claw
Push spoiler to unleash claw
Wheeled vehicle (3"x5"x9")
Plastic
Ages 4+

My son just loves the Spider Strike Battle Racer and didn't have any troubles putting the car together.  He did need some initial help in attaching Spider~Man to the bar so that he could do his acrobatic flips and turns, but after he saw me do it a couple of times, he quickly picked up the concept and played with the vehicle for hours.

He has a few cars that he plays with and this one has quickly been added to his line of bigger cars.  He loves how Spider~Man flips out of the car when he activates the lever on the spoiler at the back.  

I love the durability of the car and how the action figure can be removed and you can use it in other imaginative plays.  The colours are vibrant and the small pieces are few.  You will have to attach the spoiler to the car after some uses and sometimes Spidey doesn't always flip off but other than that, there are no true issues with the Battle Racer.

I love how the Hasbro line of toys are all easily affordable, being a frugal mom of six children, you can understand the need to find toys that are within my price range and stand up to the rigors of my children's imaginations.  I would recommend this to anyone of you who have a Spider~Man lover on their list, they will be using their imaginations and battling bad guys before you can get it out of the box.

HASBRO ~ KRE~O BATTLESHIP U.S.S. MISSOURI Set

Hasbro, Inc., has turned another of its timeless brands into a multi~media entertainment property with the release of Universal Studio's film, "BATTLESHIP".  Hasbro has augmented the experience of the hot new film, with an action~packed line of BATTLESHIP toys ~ both in the gaming realm and in a brand new line of KRE~O building sets ~ as well as an expansive line of licensed goods.

ARV ~ $79.99

KRE~O BATTLESHIP U.S.S. MISSOURI Set

Man your battle stations on deck of the military's last defense against the alien invasion, the U.S.S. Missouri, the iconic flagship straight from the BATTLESHIP movie~!!

Spanning 21.5" long once assembled, the U.S.S. Missouri build features double barreled missile launchers, single fire rocket launchers and a deployable attack boat with gunner station.

The ship is also equipped with several areas of interest including the Captain's navigation tower, a central control room, maximum security alien prison, soldier barracks and more~!!

Kids can command Admiral Shane and Naval Fighter KREON figures into the heat of battle against alien forces.

Set includes:  545 pieces and 5 KREON figures

Ages 8 & up

Building this is guaranteed to keep your children busy for days, it took several for my two sons to complete this, but their bonding was well worth it~!!

The directions are easy to follow and everything comes packaged according to useage and the boys were able to follow everything to a tee, even though they had a couple of pieces left over.  My oldest son assured me that he has built many of these in his lifetime, of fifteen years, lol, and there are always pieces left over.  Seeing, as I am the source of buying these kits for him, and tripping over those "left~over" pieces, I can attest that his projects have always looked successful, so who am I to question his authority on the matter...lol

At first it appeared to be a bit mind~boggling as you ponder those 545 pieces, but as the work progresses, you get to see what kind of architectural wonders your children are as they concentrate on placing all the pieces together as they are meant to be.

My sons argued a few times and whenever their patience began to thin, they'd put it away and come back at it again.  My younger sons finger weren't able to snap some of the smaller pieces together and he would grow frustrated, which would frustrate his older brother and then it would be time to step away and come back at it again at another time.

Even though they argued, I found they resolved their issues in a very mature and brotherly way.  We love the Hasbro line of toys in this house, we have yet to be disappointed with anything they produce and promote~!!

HASBRO ~ KRE~O BATTLESHIP ALIEN STRIKE Set

Hasbro, Inc., the global branded play company, will turn another of its timeless brands into a multi~media entertainment property this year with the release of the Universal Studio's film BATTLESHIP.  

Hasbro is celebrating this experience of the hot new film, directed by Peter Berg, with an action~packed line of BATTLESHIP toys ~ both in the gaming realm, where the BATTLESHIP brand originated, and in a brand new line of KRE~O building sets ~ as well as an expansive line of licensed goods.

ARV ~ $34.99

Pretend to battle the aliens alongside KREON Hopper just like the BATTLESHIP movie's most intense scenes with the ALIEN STRIKE set.

Take control of the military attack boat and lead the fight against the alien warship, while avoiding its vicious capture claw and dangerous flick~fire missiles.

The alien warship also features a main cockpit and a second gunnner station.  

Includes 277 bricks, attack boat, and four KREON figures.  Boat is not intended for water.  Recommended ages 7 & up.

In this household, KRE~O and their ilk are very popular in this household with two boys who love to build and create using their imaginations.

My oldest son was all agog over the design and pieces that he was able to create with.  He followed the instructions with very few frustrations and was able to complete his masterpiece and was very proud as he showed me the finished work compared to the picture on the box.

My youngest son aided his older brother in the construction by handing pieces from the marked bags and therefore, learning how to follow instructions at the tutelage of his older brother.  It truly was a groovy brother bonding moment~!!

I myself am not impressed with all the pieces parts that have to be accounted for...if any of you have ever stepped on one of these, then you know what I am talking about here...lol  They hurt when its unexpected~!!

However, I would put up with the pain just to enjoy watching the boys work their magic and create what they were hoping, was an exact replica of the model shown.

They had a couple of pieces left over but my oldest boy assured me that it always happens.  He builds a LOT of inventions, I have many around the house that I have kept, so your just going to have to believe him.  :)

If you have a child who loves to build and who truly digs the thought of putting one over on the alien invasion, then this is one beauty set to have and enjoy.

The price is wonderful, IMHO, with six children, you tend to get VERY frugal in your shopping and for the cost, it would be well worth every penny.  Utilizing the brain in a positive way is not only a good parental thing to enable, but your child's future will depend upon it.

Head on over to HASBRO and check out KRE~O's newest invasion, BATTLESHIP ALIEN STRIKE Set...you kids will LOVE you for it~!!

Ages 7 and up

My kids, especially the boys, absolutely loved this game~!!  They had never played it though they have seen commercials and they were pumped to be able to check it out for their very own~!!

This is a game that even my random seven~year~old can play.  I was very worried that he would become disgruntled as he does not like to lose but he adapted quite well even with all his most un~strategic way of playing.  

The boys were playing this for hours and hours and whenever they are looking for something to do, they break out their newest fascination and play away.  I don't even hear a peep out of them except..."hit" or "miss"...lol  Okay...sometimes my youngest son needs to be reminded that he's already asked to a coordinate or be reminded not to put pegs in places where they aren't needed.

We were also impressed with the different style of Alien ships that were cleverly included in this version of BATTLESHIP.  Everyone wants to be the Alien ships in this household...lol

My kids cannot wait to see the new BATTLESHIP movie and with wonderful tie~ins such as the Classic BATLLESHIP movie edition game, you cannot go wrong for fun and entertainment.  HASBRO has proved themselves to shine in the imaginations of children~!!
