We were asked to review a few Star Wars toys and I was definitely thinking about the hand held action figures. To be honest, my kids are not Star Wars obsessed, so I was pretty sure we would pass them onto another family to review. The shipment arrived at our office in two giant boxes – inside were 18″ Star Wars figures. Super life-like! My husband who has never mention Star Wars in the 13 years I have known him immediately said that he wanted Darth Vader and the Storm Trooper (to play with, I assume?!)
As I mentioned, my kids haven’t ever seen the movies, nor played with any of the toys. They LOVE them! My two year old loves to command the Storm Trooper to “shoot” (and he actually does!) and my daughter likes to use the remote control to move At-At and R2-D2. The baby likes to watch Darth Vaders light sabre light up. The toys are definitely not meant to be super rough with or thrown around, but my 2 year old has been taking the Storm Trooper out with us, sleeping with it and definitely not being gentle and it is perfectly fine.
Dad’s seem to love these toys. We have had a few families over the last 2 weekends since we have had the toys and they are a hit. The Dad’s could sit and play as long as the kids. These make a great gift for child (recommended ages 4+) or for the adult Star Wars enthusiast as they look really cool on display. If you are looking for a special gift this Christmas, head on over to Toys R Us and pick one of these awesome toys up!

I might be useless at rlguear updates to my blog, BUT YOU SIR appear to be a really good dad, well done, although if it was me, rather than going for the light sabre thing, I’d have fashioned her pushchair into some Dalek like contraption.
