If you're looking for a nice gift for a one-yr. old, this could qualify as one. I bought these for my 14 month old daughter, who doesn't own a set a cars and I was looking to get her started. I searched other cars, but the Playskool Mini Fleets out shined the competition. They are tiny, convenient, neutral (in color) and plain cute.

What child wouldn't be thrilled to have their own cell phone. My granddaughter gets hours of imaginative play from this phone. It was a great purchase.Get more detail about Hasbro Playskool Flip 'N Play Cell Phone - Pink.

Playskool must be making money on these movie tie-in characters because they keep on coming. This one is eye-catching with the bright orange color. Had I seen the actual Transformer movie, this robotic spud might be more of a hit with me. The first Transformer spud, Optimash Prime, has a more imposing and striking appearance with its mechanical arms and one piece helmet/nose configuration.

As I look at this Transformer spud, it crosses my mind that Mr. Potato Head is the original, low-tech transformer, changing appearance and form with some manipulation and switching of body parts.

As with all of the modern Potato Heads, kids will have more fun if more spare parts are available to them, especially those of Optimash.

I don't know how kids feel about it, but I'm disappointed that none of the Transformer body parts actually transform. They are all static, stationary parts that can't be bent, turned, or transformed in any way. One can only change the appearance of the machine-like parts by moving them or turning them over. Don't know if it was intentional, but I think it's amusing that car parts were used to configure an autobot.



Finally - This is an OK Mr. Potato Head. Others have been much more clever and dramatic in appearance than this one. Play value is limited by the amount of spare pieces on hand. I like that this particular spud was very easy to remove from the box. A four-year-old could do it without help.
On the side of the box containing this "more than meets the fry" figure is a "Pop `N Keep" punch out perforated mask. How long such a mask will survive in the hands of a toddler is anyone's guess.
This is not the best of the Potato Heads, but if your youngster likes Mr. Potato Head, he or she will probably like this action figure toy.

Bumble Spud earns three stars on its own merits and one star for being a Potato Head under those pseudo metallic trappings. Four stars I give Bumble Spud.

Someone gave our 7 mo old daughter this for Christmas. She loves it. She likes to look in the little mirror, rattle and mouth the keys, shake the cell phone that rattle, and the crinkly little butterfly attached to the purse. One con was that it was difficult to detach the keys from the purse but I think that was because ours must've been defective - a little bent in the snap/lock ring, but we were able to maneuver it. We decided we like this toy better than the FisherPrice Laugh and learn first purse, so we returned that one. Unlike that toy, this purse does not require batteries and is easier for baby to open and close, basically has all the same types of accessories. I don't know I'd pay more than ten for this, but it's been great for our young baby! Get more detail about Playskool Busy Lil' Purse - Assorted.

My 3-yr old son LOVES this toy; he got this for Christmas, and has played with it every day since. He loves the animated screen, especially the 'dancing man' - "I gotta find that man, Mommy!" Nice variety of music, as well. I found it on Clearance at K-Mart for $7.00 - money well spent. :-)Get more detail about Playskool Dance Along MP3 Boy.
