TOMY Pokémon Toys Review
Eldest has gone Pokémon crazy thanks to our latest TOMY toy testing delivery. When this arrived his eyes lit up and I was told excitedly “I am so pleased my mummy blogs”!!! Cue lots of big smiles. Then he said “My friends will want to come and visit me and play with these”.
I think they are delightful figures. They are very detailed. If you’re a fan of the show they will be an instant hit for your children, as they are very realistic replicas of the characters they so love. Eldest is 5 but I know that these figures hold interest for children much older. Therefore f you start collecting them now you will get plenty more fun and entertainment for years to come.
The figures are compatible with all the other sets which helps you feel your getting value for money. Everything can be played with together in one big enjoyable play session! Nothing worse than feeling your children have wasted money with something that has very limited use or appeal. But not the case here. Eldest loves them so much. He is trying to earmark toys his brother and himself have outgrown to sell so he can buy more Pokémon figures instead!
Play n Store Case
The Play n Store Case is simply fabulous. They can safely store all their beloved characters inside and transport them on holiday or to a friends for more battling sessions.
The case can hold a fair few figures and doubles up as an exciting play area. Eldest enjoyed placing the characters inside, spinning them on the spinner. Then pretending them were being fixed up by the nurse (a sticker inside set off his imagination) after all poorly Pokémon need to recuperate! It’s a hard life battling…
My only complaint is that thanks to TOMY I now have to have lots of boys round on playdates so eldest can show them to EVERYONE. Thanks for that! But am pleased these have really made him so happy. Also now I have a good idea what to get him for presents again. He has exhausted collecting Skylanders so I was at a loss what he would like in terms of figures. Hooray I can bribe good behaviour out of him again by linking his reward chart to the figures! Tepig and Pignite will be his next treat! Each figure has its own ID tag too, so you can feel like a proper trainer by buying the complete kit with plenty of scope to keep adding to your sets.
The figures and sets are aged 4+ which I think is about right as some of the figures are quite small. Youngest who is 4 was quite intrigued by them but with eldest hogging them he did not get a proper chance, although he has claimed the Chuggington that arrived as his now (review to follow shortly).
Poké Ball
Catch n Return Poké Ball was quite interesting. You pull it back, open the ball and release trying to catch your Pokémon off its stand. I have yet to master it but we are having lots of amusement trying to get the hang of it! It is quite a novel idea and eldest is delighted to have such interactive sets.
All the wonderful adventures that they go on
My eldest played with Pokemon when he was small and it brings him and his younger brother together . There is a 10 yr age gap so they dont always play well together .
my son just loves all the differrent characters and making up his own pokeman battles!
They love them and they can play together really well with these
My eldest has just discovered Pokemon on the DS. He woud love these and could play with his younger brother that hasn't quite got the hang of the DS game. lol. xx

I can't believe Pokemon is still going strong! My son was addicted when he was growing up. I think its the 'collecting' aspect that keeps them wanting more! My grandaughter loves them too, but I think that has alot to do with the cuteness of some of them!
