Barack Obama 6" Action Figure



Product Description

From the Manufacturer
In many ways, senator Barack Obama is the closest thing to a superhero, someone who has literally inspired millions of people simultaneously to step past fear, to be brave enough to hope, and to go past cynicism and imagine what we could be if we were at our best. That's the stuff of legend. And jailbreak toys wanted to pitch in. So in that spirit, they created the Obama action figure, because every superhero should have one. Standing 6" tall with 8 points of articulation, window boxed and made from phthalate-free PVC. An action figure you can believe in.

Amazon.com Product Description
The popular board game that has players watching video clips and shouting out answers is now available in an upgraded movie theme. This second edition of Screenlife’s Scene It? Movie game is chock full of questions, characters, and clips from both new and classic films of the silver screen. From older films like E.T. and Casablanca to new favorites such as The Devil Wears Prada and Ocean’s 11, the game asks challenging questions about characters and scenes.

Pop the game’s DVD into your player to start the star studded fun. Loaded with new clips and puzzles, this updated version touches on oversized apes to princess brides and all things in between. There are over 1,000 questions on the 160 trivia cards, so even if you see the same snippet from the 180 on the DVD during the same game, the question about that scene will be different. Special technology randomizes the order of the clips to ensure fresh fun each time the game is played.

The interactive game board can be spread out for longer games, or folded for a smaller board when you don’t have a lot of time (or that many players). To help you move around the board there are four metal tokens with movie genre themes (wind-up chatter teeth, a heart-shaped box of chocolates, a car in mid flight, and a hand reaching from beyond the grave), one six-sided die to determine how many spaces to move, and one eight-sided die that determines the category to be played. Once the dice have been rolled, clips are watched, questions are asked, and it’s revealed just how much you know. Use memory, logic, and your pop culture knowledge to answer various challenges about famous quotes, imaginative characters, and the actors who brought them to life. Categories range from Quotables and Who Am I? to Soundclips and more.

All the components that come with this Movie Scene It? Game.

The casual movie watcher can answer questions by using puzzle-solving skills or by paying close attention to the movie clips. There are also 30 Buzz cards available to help (or occasionally hinder) progress. If these reasons aren’t enough to tempt you into a game on your own, then co-produce a blockbuster with a friend or family member by playing in team mode first.

Transformers Robot Fighters Game




Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Meet Transformer robot fighters Optimus Prime and Megatron. Ideal for ages 6 and older, these two robots compete in head-to-head battle. The first to knock their opponent off the base wins.

Action Figures for a New Generation

Modeled after the hit 1980's TV series and recent movie, this Transformers Robot Fighter game includes detailed figures of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Parents can have it ready in a matter of minutes; just slap on a few stickers, put the robots on their stand, and the battle begins. Playing this game is simple: The action figures perform ruthless kicks and punches as your galactic young mastermind twists and turns the knob. One minor design flaw is that the limbs move only at the shoulders and hips, thereby limiting the moves they can make. But they are built to last and loads of fun. These Transformers should integrate nicely into your child's regular action figure collection.

(what this means)


The Good: Fun, exciting, designed for small hands

The Bad: Strike plate is small, hard to hit

In a Nutshell: Provides hours of entertainment

At a Glance

Ages: 6 and older
Requires: No batteries or power source required

Defeat on Battle Platform, or Play Anywhere

Transformers have been around for decades and are now more popular than ever. This game allows children to decide the outcome of the endless battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime. Kicks and punches can be completed on command, and knocking your opponent off the platform is quite a challenge.

Keep track of hits with the zero-to-five bar--the first one to land five hits wins the game. Or defeat your opponent by targeting the strike plate and knocking the robot off the platform. When taken off the base, the Transformers stand on flat surfaces and make a great everyday toy.

Easy and Action-Packed

After being a staple of virtually every home in the 1980's, Transformers are now a favorite for the new generation. With a simple design and easy game play, this toy amuses little boys for hours. Shaped like a joystick, the base features a slick futuristic design adorned with the Transformers logo.

Lightweight and durable, the base is easy for small hands to control and maneuver. The action figures boast intricate details and moveable joints at the hips and shoulders. One minor design flaw is that their knees and elbows don't bend. When playing the game, the warriors are somewhat limited to sidekicks and uppercuts, but once the fighting frenzy begins, most children won't notice.

Another slight drawback is that to knock your opponent off the platform, you have to hit the strike plate, which is so small it is nearly impossible to reach. Kids will enjoy trying to land five hits first and the numbered bar at the top allows them to easily keep track of their score. Overall, the Transformers Robot Fighters game is simple to play and packed with action.

What's in the Box
2 robot Transformer action figures, 2 bases, and decorative decals

Shopping Suggestions For the New Mom (Maternity Items, Newborn-Safe Toys, Etc)

If you're having your first child, you probably have about one million questions, as well. It's only natural that expectant mothers should worry day and night about whether or not they'll be a good parent, whether they're providing for their baby well enough, and so on.

The first step is to relax. Raising a child certainly ain't easy, but it's a lot harder to make all those mistakes new parents worry about than most realize. Just make sure to be prepared, and you should be okay when the baby arrives.

If you are expecting a child, you may want to start looking for toys that are appropriate for newborn babies, so as to ensure that the learning process begins right away. And while you're at it, you might want to check out some maternity items, as well (note to baby shower invitees, this list is for you, too!).

Stuffed Animals

Stuffed animals are great for children less than a year old. The plush, soft feel helps children to learn about texture, the design of the animal can help to teach them the basics of recognizing faces and shapes, and the colour can help their eyesight develop.

If you stick to dolls and animals intended for babies, there should be no problem. Otherwise, just be on the lookout for things like plastic eyes and buttons, which can pop off more easily than you might think.

Baby Toys

Toys for babies look ridiculous to older kids, "Why is the dog seven different colours with a rubber ring sticking out of his head?" but the zany designs are usually put together with a purpose in mind. For example, the Playskool Let's Play Together Puppet shaped like a monkey has a few plastic rings of various colours and a dial that makes clicking noises when turned left or right. These bells and whistles actually help to teach babies about various tactile surfaces, colours, sound, and interacting with their environment, as well as providing something safe and harmless to chew on to assist in teething.

Strollers, Baby Carriers, and Baby Care

This one should be obvious. You're going to be carrying your baby pretty much all the time for awhile, so strollers, baby carriers, baby seats, and so on, are vital to giving your arms a break once in awhile. And of course, you'll want a well-stocked supply of baby safety and health items, like electrical socket covers, Q-tips, cotton balls, infant medicine, and so on.

Your Shopping List

Okay let's be frank, here... You've got a big shopping list to fill out. Baby clothes, diapers, bottles, formula, breast pump, crib, baby food... We can't possibly list every single thing you'd need in one short article. Rather, we'll just recommend a couple of things...

1. Don't neglect toys for the baby, and...

2. Don't neglect yourself.

Look, having a baby is tough. If you can get yourself something to lighten the load, be it a baby carrier, or your favourite tea and chocolate, do it. Having a baby is wonderful, but it's also a lot of stress and hard work. Being prepared means taking care of yourself, too.

Toys That Work For Both Boys and Girls

Okay, girls love Dora the Explorer, and boys love action figures. But, there's something to be said for toys that brothers can share with their sisters and vice versa. The way kids spend most of their free time is playing, and if you can give your children some toys based on a common interest, you can encourage sharing, and playing together, which can strengthen the sibling bond and make for a more harmonious household.

One of the real hurdles for brothers and sisters playing together is that most girls really don't care about Batman, and most boys wouldn't be caught dead playing with Barbie dolls. So, more often than not, you'll need to provide your kids with some "gender neutral" toys if you're hoping to see them getting along and learning to share.

In the 1980's, we had He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. He-Man had initially been marketed to boys, but because of the generous number of strong female heroes and fantasy elements, as well as a female animation director taking on a lot of episodes, the show actually wound up having a lot of crossover appeal, hence the spin-off series and toy line, She-Ra Princess of Power, starring He-Man's sister. The whole He-Man/She-Ra family of toys was nothing if not an excellent way to get brothers and sisters playing together and enjoying the same shows. Unfortunately, children's entertainment today has very little in the way of popular franchises with equal appeal for boys and girls.

But then we do have Dora and Diego... while Dora the Explorer may have limited appeal for boys, the spin-off series, Go Diego Go, is definitely a boy's show. Each show shares a number of characters with the other, and the overlap can help bring brothers and sisters together, meaning less fighting over the remote when one show or the other comes on TV, and playing together to create adventures for both Dora and Diego to conquer.

Then there are completely gender neutral toys, like Legos. Legos usually tries to cater more towards boys, licensing properties like Batman and Indiana Jones, but the basic premise of this toy has a lot of appeal for boys and girls: Build whatever you want to build. Challenging your daughter and son to build a castle together may yield interesting results, like a palace with a ballroom and an armada of cannons and archers along the outer wall.

While space adventure is primarily a boy-focused genre, Star Wars actually tends to appeal to both boys and girls as well. By providing the audience with a strong male lead in Luke Skywalker, and a strong female lead in Princess Leia, every kid watching the movie has someone to root for.

Most recently, we've seen electronic toys for both boys and girls drop considerably in price thanks to the very nature of technology getting cheaper every day. You can actually buy a kid a digital camera, toy laptop, or even a camcorder for the price of dinner for one at the Olive Garden. By their nature, these are non-gender specific toys, but bear in mind that most boys wouldn't dare touch a pink and purple camera, whereas girls rarely have a problem with blue.

That's something to remember, by the way. A lot of gender-neutral toys are coloured blue for boys and pink for girls. Boys oftentimes hate pink, but girls don't have to worry about being called a sissy at school if they show up with a blue backpack.
