Give it Forward: Batman Power Attack Figures

Batman Power Attack Figures

I always like working with brands that have Superhero products. Mattel has a new line of Batman figures called Batman Power Attack. I found out about bloggers hosting Batman Power Attack themed parties and I inquired. I didn’t fit all of the qualifications but I proposed that I review a couple of the toys from the line and donate additional toys to Christmas is for Kids. They said sure and so I have a ton of fantastic Batman toys to donate to Christmas is for kids and a couple of cool ones for us. Batman is Eva’s favorite superhero. She once asked me to tell her all about Batman which was not easy to explain to a sensitive five year old who wouldn’t understand the intricacies of why Batman is how he is. But I must have been able to tell her something that she liked because she is now a fan and she loved these toys which are geared towards younger kids (4-8).

The christmas is for Kids Give it forward Project is going strong. When we came back from our trip to New York City there was a huge box and four smaller boxes with all sorts of things for me to review and much to give to Christmas is for Kids. I received a giant box of Batman Power Attack figures from Mattel. They are part of a box to throw a Batman Power Attack party but I was able to get the box to review and donate many of the toys to Christmas is for Kids. There are a ton of great figures that are going to be donated. I kept and reviewed a few Batman figures and one Robin figure plus the Total Destruction Batmobile. That is a pretty sweet ride. Eva and I made a video of that today and we’ll have that up in a few days.

We also received multiple packages from Blip Toys including their new Amazimals line of toys. We got three puppies that each do something different. Eva got to choose one of them to keep and review. The rest are going to Christmas is for kids including a Squinkies Zinkies set.

And last but not least was the stuff that we got from our trip to the Activision Family Game Summit in New York. Allison and I each got a bag and the bags were filled with video games, toys and more. We kept some of the stuff for ourselves and are going to buy a family Nintendo 3Ds to play all the games and we also kept some for gifts for friends as well. But the bulk of what received is going to Christmas is for kids including $20 in Target gift cards for what we as a family are going to buy. We need to do that shopping soon.

Be on the lookout for toy reviews coming very, very soon.
