| ImAmes's Full Review: Hasbro Monsters Inc. Figure: Gift Pack #2 |
What can I say? I am a 27 year old mother who has seen the movie TWICE, not because her daughter wanted to see it again, but because her MOM wanted to see it again:) Yes, I can't get enough of Monsters Inc., and in a time where the world is unstable as well as my own life, it's nice to take in a good story that I can laugh and cry with, and still wanting more!
So what do you do after seeing such a wonderful film? Well, what Retailers WANT you to do- buy the movie merchandise! So after buying both Boo Dolls earlier in the Christmas Season, I purchased the Gift Packs for my nephews who LOVE the movie as well! There are 2 different sets, each only cost me $6.50- it was a 50% off sale at the Kohl's Department Store in the Fox Cities.
So why did I buy these? Simple, kids love to reinact the movie, and these are the perfect way to do it! In this pack you will receive:
***Sulley- Our favorite blue monster and top scarer shows us his mean side in this figure.
***Randall Boggs- our Villan who tries to suck the screams from innocent children for his own petty gain!
***Boo- my favorite character, it is the little girl who steals your heart with her big brown eyes and soft spoken voice.
***Roz- the Boss who's always after Mike to get his paperwork done, turns out to be something even more!
***Waternoose- the crab looking Monster who is the Owner of Monsters Inc. who takes a turn for the worse!
***Flint is the Monster who observes the testing floor where Monsters practice their scare tactics.
My nephews were over yesterday and had Christmas at my home early due to other plans they have this coming week. They each opened them at were thrilled! I asked to see them out of the box so I could tell you folks what I liked/disliked about them.
LIKE
I like the detail to each character, they are easy enough to hold, and seem to stand well on a hard surface.
DISLIKE
Again, Boo is also the smallest character, easy to lose, but can be seen easier in this package than when she is in the Monster Costume in the Gift Package #1. Nephews liked them, but had nothing to play with them in, like a city or playset. For those of you considering these for Christmas yet or for future reference, there IS a playset of Sully and Mike's bedroom, the sliding doors, and the scare set, but it is around $32 and also has many parts to it! I couldn't afford all of that, but you may want to get the playset and then get a gift pack so they have more monsters to play with!
In Conclusion
All in all, I think the figures are fun for children to play with, but should be kept to ages 5 and up and away from small children who may choke on them! You can find these Monster Gift Packs on Ebay, at the Disney Store, Toys R Us Outlets or at your local Department Store. But get them while they are here, Monsters Inc. is a hot commodity this season!
Merry Christmas!
