When I went to Sweet Suite this year I saw the Knuckle-Headz Head Poppin’ Racers from SD Toyz. Now I have worked with SD Toys in the past but at the time their company name was different. I worked with their MAX TRAXX glow in the dark racers. Those were so cool. Well SD Toyz included some Knuckle-Headz Head Poppin’ Racers in the Sweet Suite Swag box and that is where I got two of mine and I was also give the Francis figure when I was at Sweet Suite. These were given to me for free and I decided to hang on to them until it was time for my Holiday Gift Guide. You can see them in action in my video below. Andrew helped me out on this one because he was home sick from school and I had to keep him occupied.
These are just fun cars to play with. It is super silly when their head pop off as they race along. Here are the main features of the toys:
6 different characters available, including: Finn the Shark, Rex the Dinosaur, Snarl the Wolf, Fang the Saber Tooth Tiger, Stubs the Bull Dog, and Francis the Gorilla.
Each vehicle includes a high-powered pull-back motor which zooms more than 30 feet.
Made of durable plastic and other high-quality materials for endless head poppin’ fun.
The perfect toy to engage kids 3-years and up, in immersive fun that promotes Object, Creative, and Social Play Patterns.

Amigo Games sent us two of their games for free to include in our Holiday Gift Guide. Opinions of the games are my own. The two games are Carnival of Monsters which was created by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic the Gathering. This is a longer form game for ages 12+ that concentrates on card drafting and deck building. It takes skill and strategy to win the game. The other game, X-Code, is a more cooperative game where you play as a team, and you level up through 10 missions giving it a sort of video game-esque element.
A few weeks back we had a day off of school. We had nothing special going on so we went and decided to make it a game day. We played both X-Code and Carnival of Monsters. Both were fun. X-Code was fairly easy (We only did the first levels) and fairly quick (About 1/2 total). It was fast paced and fun to play. Everyone had to help everyone else out as we played and there was a lot of interaction. We enjoy games of that nature.
We played Carnival of Monsters for about three hours total and that included going through the rulebook. The rulebook was quite long and complex but we made our way through and played all four rounds of the game. By the second round we were all old pros at it, too. The game is for ages 12+ but both of the kids had no problem playing and they are 7 & 12. You can hear more about the game in the video below.
