Mom Mart was sent a
Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Class Figure and compensation for this
post.
My children were introduced
to the whole autobots vs decepticons vs predacons story line and toy
merchandise last year when an older neighbor had a transformer themed birthday
party. After checking out the Transformer aisle at the toy store my boys were instantly
smitten with the Transformer toys. I mean what little boy wouldn’t love a toy
that could be both a vehicle and a robot? We gifted our neighbor a Transformers
sword and mask, both of which my oldest wanted to keep for himself.
My children love toys
and the new Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Figures are right up their alley.
Although I feel that my children are too young to watch the Transformer films, they
really enjoy playing with the transformer toys and I feel that the figures are
perfectly acceptable toys for my children to engage in for imaginative play.
As a former educator I like
that by manipulating the figure and transforming the robot into a vehicle my
children are working on developing fine motor skills. By engaging in
interactive imaginative play with these figures my children are also developing
social and emotional skills by sharing and working through conflicts within
their imaginative play. With all of the educational benefits aside, these toys
are simply fun toys that we enjoy playing with.
We received the Optimus
Prime Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Class Figure and it was a big
hit with both of my children. They loved the star saber {sword} that it came
with as well as the ionic pulse launchers. While neither of my boys have quite mastered
the transformation from autobot leader to truck mode, they both have a lot of
fun trying to figure it out.
I like that this toy can
be manipulated and played with in various stages of transformation. There is no
right or wrong way to play with this toy and it is surprisingly durable. My
boys can be a bit aggressive when it comes to their toys and so far this little
autobot has survived my household!
