Enhance your PacMan gameplay with the new Wreck It Ralph 2 Ralph Breaks the Internet Power Pack Collectibles set by Bandai. The Power Pac collectibles set by Bandai is exclusive to Target and is $39.99, and you get exclusive Disney Princesses that can only be found in this set! Each figure has its own unique game code that can be entered into the PacMan Wreck-It Ralph game. Unlock each character to reveal a different skill to help PacMan in game. We think these figures are just so much fun! Wreck-It Ralph is already our favorite movie, but pairing my favorite game from my childhood with it just pulls at my heartstrings.
Each figure is durable vinyl, they are not articulated but they are great pieces to add to your Wreck-It Ralph collection! We love Wreck-It Ralph and are so happy to have added the figures for more pretend play. Each figure has a red or blue clear stand but can stand on their own with the help of pixel bits holding them up. Look closely at each Disney Princess and you will find little special nuances that make each figure super special. Mulan is wearing a varsity jacket and she has Mushu on the back to the jacket. Rapunzel is relaxing in her hair and eating a donut in comfy PJs, she is wearing shoes for once! Merida is wearing relaxing hiking style clothes and has a bear on her shirt. These little bits really make me smile!
Display them, play with them, and make sure you enter the game codes to make your PacMan gameplay even more fun! Ralph smashes the brick walls, and Fix-It Felix is right behind him fixing them, Merida shoots arrows at the ghosts, Mulan releases firecrackers, Vanellope glitches to warp zones, and Rapunzel knocks out the ghost with a frying pan! So cool!

I am simply blown away by the craftsmanship of ReadySetz, they withstand my son's active play and my own durability tests.

ReadySetz come in two sizes, the small set is $65 and the large set is $95 and can be purchased at ReadySetz.com. We reviewed the small Urban Playset, and I found it to be just the perfect size for my son’s action figures to have awesome fights with the bad guys! Made of a very durable cardboard, it folds open in seconds. Adjust each play area to your play style with double sided ramps for fast moving vehicles, or put a ramp on each side.

The branch out cardboard pieces like billboards, and helipads give the Urban Playset plenty of interest. I found a lot of humor in the Urban Playset as this set particularly looks like the run down side of Las Vegas. There is also a really cool Space Playset, which would be a fun backdrop for an epic galactic Star Wars battle! Make sure you go to ReadySetz.com to pre-order the Space Base Playset to give your Star Wars toys new ways to defend the galaxy.

It was an absolute pleasure to review, and ReadySetz will most likely be featured in many more of our videos! Big thank you to ReadySetz!
Roll and Play by ThinkFun! is the first game you should buy for your toddler! Connect with your kiddo with this game that is super easy, and easy to follow instructions. Feel at ease leaving your oldest child with your youngest as they and play and explore the colorful card categories - from making animal sounds to making silly faces - there is plenty of fun to be had as an onlooker or as a player! This is definitely a game that two small kiddos to play together to give the parents a little break! Each card refers to a specific category like Emotions, Body Parts, Counting, Colors, Actions, and Animal Sounds. Each category will prompt you and your child to identify or act out simple tasks. Wiggle, shake, clap hands, find specific colors, count objects, and more will get your little kiddo up and playing. I played this game with my five-year-old and he even had a blast. He is just learning to read, and because of the magic of sight words and the colorful graphics, he was able to “read” the cards with zero help from me! Okay, he did confuse a turkey for a chicken—watch our video to see the hilarity! I have a 14-month-son, and he was not into the game, but from experience, I can say that this game is a valuable tool in any parents’ arsenal of toys and busy keepers.
The game is a collection of categorized cards and a color-coded soft cube. Each player rolls the cube and must pick the colored card that they rolled. There is no winning or losing—just having fun all while learning and building essential communication skills. Roll and Play had us laughing, moving, counting, and having a great time. The game cube is big enough for a toddler to grab and throw it—that’s what my toddler does right now, he throws everything he sees, and the Roll and Play cube has now been added to his favorite toys to throw. I’ll introduce the cards to him in a few more months. Roll and Play is for ages 18 months and up and will make the perfect gift for that age. I even recommend introducing it even earlier because the cards are so colorful and will make great flash cards to identify sounds of animals as well as counting numbers. I also love that it includes a category for emotions! Emotions are very important for your toddler to grasp as they are a warm, cuddly ball of emotions! Am I right? Identifying and acting out different expressions like a silly face vs a scared face are milestones in themselves!
Make Roll & Play apart of your play time routine—just a few minutes of gameplay per day will boost social skills, and strengthen your bond with your child. I could definitely see this being used in the classroom for special needs children as this game really promotes social activity and collaborative learning. Each child will be able to listen and observe what the other child is acting out. For older kids, I would suggest making the role play or actions category into a guessing game-- like charades.
Big thank you to Roll & Play by ThinkFun! for sending us this fun game for our review! I’m upset that I just discovered this game only recently as this is definitely a game you should keep in mind as a new parent— the skills that you strengthen and build are invaluable like gross motor skills (rolling and picking up the cube), social skills (actions card), learn to follow instructions, math skills, and more! We love this game, especially me, and I will be definitely gifting it to other moms to be.
It’s Ferocious Friday and today we reveal one-half of the new Boneheads, Doom and Gloom! They are glow in the dark Fingerlings Dinosaurs that are totally ferocious and totally without skeletal muscle. The new Boneheads have to be the most artistically and beautifully done Untamed Dinosaurs in the history of The Untamed - they are just wondrous. We especially enjoyed them because of their ferocious attitudes and their ability to glow in the dark.
WowWee sent us an epic package including Doom one of the Boneheads along with the new Jailbreak Play-set. The Jailbreak set is awesome as it comes with an Infrared Dinosaur that has glowing eyes and glowing teeth with a black light, and there is also a nifty handle to easily transport two Untamed Dinosaurs. There are also two doorways! One doorway on the side allows you to easily place your Untamed Dinos inside. The door in the front allows them to break-out with full action! Pull the lever, and watch out as your dinosaur will pounce out at you! The effect is pretty cool, especially when your ferocious dinosaur is turned on!
With multiple touch points, your untamed fingerling dinosaur will roar, chomp, and even fart! Doom and Gloom are each $14.99. The Jailbreak Play-set is actually a great deal for just $24.99, because you get the infrared dinosaur fingerling, too. Your kiddos will love playing with the set! Check out our funny skit, and instructional video. The price points for each of the items and all Fingerlings/The Untamed really make them for great gifts for the holidays. You really have to grab them when you see them as they go super fast!
Thank you so much WowWee for including us in this super fun launch! We had so much fun with our YouTube video, please share and subscribe if you haven't already! WowWee really knows how to pack in the fun!

First, we visit the Mindware booth. Mindware makes the best-scented putty with fresh scents that will relax your senses with their spa line and yummy familiar scents like peanut butter and jelly. They’re sold in 3-packs under $11, so you can break them up and share them, or keep them all for yourself. Mindware also has a fun cooperative game called Gnomes at Night where you and friend play together to get out of the maze. You’re not playing against one another but together, so everyone is a winner. If you both get trapped, you both lose, so work together to solve the puzzle. A toy that Marcello really loved at TTPM was the Q-BA-MAZE 2.0: Starter Lights Set, which is a building toy and you have to puzzle together the correct routes for the ball to travel. When it reaches a certain point, the blocks light up. There are different collections with variations of color so you can get the cool colors with cooler temperature colors like blue, clear, and green. Or you can get the warmer collection with warmer tones like orange, red, and yellow. The starter lights set is a mixture of colors, and will be sure to delight you or your kiddo! The Starter Set is $34.95, and smaller sets are $24.95.
In the Hasbro booth, there was a world of cool toys waiting for us! Let’s begin with the new Trolls hair slap bands. Starting at $3.99, you get a mystery slap band inside and each one features characters from The Dreamworks Trolls movie. Their hair extends and wraps around your wrist, so wear your new toy everywhere you go! New My Little Pony blind boxes are out called Friendship Party. Each capsule includes two surprises featuring friends from the Cutie Mark Crew. Also new for toy surprises are the new Disney Princess collection featuring your favorite Disney Princesses for series one. We love this Play-Doh Poop set where you can fashion your own Play-Doh poop! Dress up your poop in 50+ variations.
Fur Real Ricky The Trick-Lovin’ Pup will grab the attention of everyone with his know how to do some adorable tricks! Our favorite was when he grabbed his own treat from his note.

We are super excited to see that Super Monsters now have their own line of toys! Join the Super Monsters as that sun goes down, and they turn into their monster selves. Super Monsters is a show on Netflix and it follows the children of the monsters, and we see their spooky, fun adventures. Now you can pay with poseable figures and this cool school bus! It has real working headlights, batwing open and close roof, and the figures sit perfectly inside.
From magic with Harry Potter to mayhem, with a new collection of surprise dinosaurs, Mattel has a little something for everyone! Imaginext toys, dinosaurs, Polly Pocket play sets, the Barbie Dreamhouse and Lil Gleamers joining the crew of hots, but the show winner was the Hot Wheels set!
I think we spent the most time in the Mattel booth. Marcello could not stop playing the new Hot Wheels Ultimate Gator Car Wash. This is a massive toy, but it does a bunch of cool things. There are ramps for the vehicles to go down to get wash. You can add water in the well at the bottom, and a color changing vehicle will turn colors in the water. There is a conveyor style belt that will bring up the cars to the very top of the toy, and the hot wheels cars can go down two different ramps. Marcello played with this toy for a good 20 minutes before I dragged him away. Santa may have a hard time bringing this big toy to our small apartment!
Set your sights on the open road with the Power Wheel Barbie Dream Camper. This is a riding toy and it is about $400, but it includes ride-on toy fun as well as playtime fun when you set up camp. It includes a bunch of cool accessories like an outdoor play kitchen, playfood, and even a campfire to roast marshmallows. Never be lost with your super cool pretend navigation system. This is like my dream toy! Ah, to be a kid again!
The Mattel Harry Potter poseable dolls collection truly are dream dolls. All of them look so real, I felt like Hermoine was going to tell me to stop filming her. Even Ginny looks fabulous with her two-toned colored hair. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonnigal look fantastic in their intricately detailed robes. Harry and Ron are the pictures of perfection too.
Going in back in time to The Toy Insider’s HoliDAY of Play where we saw Mighty Beanz and Lil’ Secrets. The cutest part was Lil Live Pets puppy that gives kisses, rolls overs, and is just the cuddliest plush puppy ever! Three different pups can be yours this holiday season! Back at TTPM, In the Moose Toys booth, we saw the new Pikmi Flips! They are the latest in Pikmi Pops and inside you will find reversible Pikmi plush, and they are heavenly scented! They are soft and sweet like cotton candy. MiBro is the coolest and hottest toy by Moose from their Really RAD Robots line! MiBro isn’t your typical toy robot, because you can teach him cool tricks, and team up with him to prank your friends. With MiBro be a pranking master with the Really RAD Remote, you can speak through it and add different filters to change the sound of your voice. It defends you from enemies with its attachable blaster, and you can even attach a tray to serve you treats!
Finally, check out Scout, he’s a ride-on pony that you can care for by feeding, brushing, and nurturing him. Once he’s fed and happy, go out for a ride on your Kid Trax Rideamal. Scout even has his own stable; Marcello desperately wanted to “park” Scout inside the stable. Scout is pretty pricey at just below $400!
It was party time in the Spin Master booth where every pop results in an explosion of colorful and shiny confetti with new Party Popteenis! Buy them individually, or as huge party parks. They have even added fun play-sets to the line because each capsule contains party guests and accessories. Spin Master has now officially added series 4 to the mix of Hatchimals CollEGGtibles. This series is called Hatch Bright and you can illuminate your little hatchy friends and watch them glow. Each Hatchimal CollEGGtible is translucent to really let the light shine through. We even saw Princess T and Princess Pham from Princess Toys Review in the Spin Master booth, so it made it super magical!
IMC Toys’ line of babies called Cry Babies will pull at your heartstrings, and your paternal instincts will kick in once these babies start tearing up. Soothe them and comfort them with their pacifier to make the waterworks stop flowing. Choose from one of four babies Coney, Lammy, Lea, and Lala, or adopt all four.
Ryan’s World Toys will have a whole new way to interact with Ryan. Starting November search for the giant golden egg, and inside you may even find the golden ticket! This golden ticket works Willy Wonka style, but instead of eating lots of chocolate from a chocolate river, you can eat lots of kinder chocolate eggs with Ryan.
