Review: New Pokémon sets from Mega Construx

MEGAContrux Pokemon

We received some Mega Construx sets for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

We received two sets to play with and they were the Charmander vs. Squirtle battle pack and the Machop and pokeball set. Andrew and I don’t really know much about Pokémon. I was older when ti came out and I never got into it. I wasn’t interested in the TV show or collecting the cards either. I do like building sets, and so when we were asked to review these I said sure.

MEGA Construx does a nice job of creating sets that feature current characters and properties like Despicable Me and the Minions and now Pokémon. The way that you can build each little Pokémon character is done nicely. You actually build the little heads of the characters rather then them being molded pieces. I like this because the heads go on with ball in socket connections so that you can move the heads all around. This makes for better poses while playing. Andrew built these sets himself and he did a great job following the directions with a little help. You can see more about each of the sets and also find a link to their official pages.

Opening Mystery Blind Bag Emojiez Series 1 Plushiez, Buddiez and Squishiez

The Kids love emojiez

We received a bunch of Emojiez toys from Fun 2 Play Toys for free in exchange for an honest review. Opinions are 100% our own.

The kids help me open, unbox and review a bunch of blind bag Emojiez, Buddiez and Squishiez. The kids loved opening these but all Andrew wanted was Smelvin, the Poop Emojiez character. Emojiez are character that are fun to collect, trade and each tell their own story. Based on your favorite existing emoji’s, the Emojiez characters play on the digital emoji trend, bringing these beloved characters to life.

These are some cute little figures. The price point for the Buddiez is very low, only $1 each and a 3pack for $1.99. That is a great point for an impulse buy at the register. The figures are well done, too. They look nice and have a little trading card that tells you their name and story. The kids also liked the Plushiez figures and Andrew gave Allison the “Money Tongue” one, which was actually vomit. His heart was in the right place. You can see what else they thought of the figures in the video below.

The Emojiez line is made up of 12 characters with unique personalities that include Romeo, the hopeless romantic, Knuckle, the champion fighter, Donny who loves to live large and Smelvin, who stinks but is lovable nonetheless. Emojiez will be available as clolectible plus and vinyl characters known as “Plushiez” and “Buddiez” along with crafts and accessory sets to come out in 2017, building on the excitement of Emojiez.
