Educational Value

Having a soft companion will help your child when they feel scared or need something to snuggle with during their favorite superhero movies

Durability

This plush is made of polyester fabric so it is incredibly soft and perfect for your toddler who loves superhero’s.

Entertainment Value

This play set comes with Superman and Batman figures as well as a headquarters base for all of those superhero meetings.

Design

This playset also includes a power pad where your little one will be able to launch their favorite hero’s into action.

Educational Value

This set is extremely beneficial because it will boost their imagination by acting out their favorite superhero moments or by creating their new superhero adventures. It also will boost your child’s hand eye coordination skills.

Durability

Imaginext uses tough materials to appease the varying play and skill levels of its wide audience. Created with children ages 3-8 in mind, this toy needs to be strong but nimble. Probably the greatest risk you run is losing the smaller pieces; Batman and Superman are both roughly the size of standard LEGO figures, and those missiles look like they can easily disappear behind furniture or under other toys.

Entertainment Value

Flying has never been more fun for kids! Flying both Batman and Superman back and forth between the two words equals double the fun.

Design

Furthermore, the playset is an addictive game that offers different fun and exciting scenarios, for example, the availability of missiles, jailhouse and a landing pad. Not to forget, it’s pretty easy to operate regardless of its large size which has become a hit for kids, especially boys, who love huge gadgets.

Educational Value

This is a perfect-sized toy that helps with your kids’ coordination during early development stages. They can control the copter with almost perfect coordination by using the single power pad that goes up to a full 360-degree angle. This allows your kid to develop a good eye-and-hand coordination. Another notable feature is that the playset includes trap doors, an elevator, and a jailhouse.

Durability

The copter seems to be something of a saga for many parents. It requires batteries, as does its charging station near the batcave, so expect to have to replace those when their time is up. Additionally, the lights on it are pretty hit and miss and some users had issues with the blades spinning but the body of the copter not moving.

Entertainment Value

Its compact size makes it easy for the little super hero’s fingers to maneuver the toy with ease. With a headquarters full of so much fun, bad guys in Gotham city will be no match for Batman and your kid’s creative imagination.

Design

This feature makes it more super cool and lightens up both the playroom and your kid's heart. Kids from the age of two can relate to Batman’s cool headquarters due to its amazing components that include a secret door, a jail and a power ranger (for the bad guys) and an elevator that enhances a child’s imaginative prowess at such a tender age

Educational Value

If you know your kid loves a good adventure, then they will never have dull moments with this Transforming Batcave. It fits the bill for providing a great platform for your kid to come up with different ideas during playtime independently. Also, it is a lightweight, compact toy, which comes with extra pieces like, a telescope, a red gun, yellow doors, allowing your little-caped crusader their own base for more creative and structural ideas.

Durability

You’ll need to troubleshoot the weight distribution in this set and the elevator. It’s top heavy, so you might want to put it near a wall it can lean against in case it tips over during play. The elevator also tends to get stuck, sometimes with the characters inside, so watch out for that and make sure children don’t yank it so hard they break it.

Entertainment Value

We love this product because it’s the perfect gift for any occasion whether it’s a birthday or upcoming holiday.

Design

It includes 5 characters: aqua man, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and cyborg. The detail on these cars makes it so unique that these cars look exactly like your favorite characters.

Educational Value

They will boost your child’s hand eye coordination skills and social skills because your child will want to talk about their favorite character cars.

Durability

Hot Wheels typically have a longer lifespan than other toys. There are small parts on these cars that can come off, so be careful if you have a young toddler who likes to throw things around willy-nilly. Otherwise, the make is strong and the cars can last for decades with proper care.

Entertainment Value

It adds to your kids’ memorable childhood moments since this Hulk figure can last for more than four years and doesn't break easily even after a few falls. This great toy can withstand the "heat" even after thrashing a few bad guys around the house.

Design

Also, Avengers characters are usually huge and tower over their enemies, and this toy has the perfect 12-inch size, making it a cool action figure.

Educational Value

An excellent toy that brings out the superhero character in any kid who loves the Hulk character. He is strong and defeats his enemies and kids tend to emulate this. Also, the plastic material is durable making it a good fit to withstand violent situations during game time. Finally, playing with Hulk gives your kid an opportunity to act out his strong feelings during gameplay.

Durability

There seems to be an inconsistency with quality control here. Some buyers received a doll with purple pants, and some received one with blue pants. The one with purple pants is notably different than the product pictured and feels like a lighter, cheaper version made with hollow plastic.

Entertainment Value

This set adds an extra feel to a kid's playtime experience without the need for batteries. The set comes with a built-in wheel located at the back of the copter that rotates the blades with ease. Your kid can play anytime without the need for a recharge, hence eliminating disruptions

Design

Another feature that makes this toy stand out is the landing pad. This makes it easy for Batman to capture evil men on the ground and a nice way for a kid to get more enthralled into the game.

Educational Value

Little boys can imitate their superhero character in a friendly and fun way. Also, working together seamlessly between the Batman figure and the Batcopter will build up a kid’s management skills in a cool way. Also, your little Batman fan can reenact their favorite superheroes moments with Batman’s cool vehicle and the figure

Durability

The picture makes this toy look slightly bigger than it is but the dimensions listed are correct and it appears to be good quality. Imaginext figurines tend not to break especially easily, they’re just small and so require some supervision and attention when it comes to properly putting them away to keep from losing them.

Entertainment Value

The manufacturer recommends giving these to children ages 3 and up, but they wouldn’t be harmful to younger than that, as long as you’re supervising so they don’t try to bite off and swallow anything.

Design

Each hero’s outfit is designed to look exactly like their costume in the comics and movies. Batman and Superman even have their capes. Stretching and bending the characters will increase your child’s fine motor skills as well enhance the level of imaginative play.

Educational Value

After a hard day of fighting evil, wipe these characters clean to get them ready for the next adventure. Children as young as three can enjoy playing the Justice League figures as they are lightweight and easy to grasp. Their solid rubber material gives them the durability they need to withstand countless battles against villains.

Durability

Young children can be rough with these characters as their thick rubber composition gives them a high level of durability. The rubber material is also easy to clean, thus you can have the heroes looking good as new after every adventure.

Entertainment Value

The set also includes two of Ultron’s countrymen for children to pit against the Avengers. The figurines are small and meant for younger hands, with simple joint-centric possibility.

Design

Designed with simple articulation, the figures can be posed for any mission. Your child can increase their social skills by sharing their figures with friends and engage in pretend battles.

Educational Value

These figures are lightweight and compact, thus making it easy for your child to transport them. Your little one can carry the heroes in their pockets or bags and dive into pretend play wherever inspiration hits. All of the characters can stand freely on their own, which allows them to double as display pieces when your child is not playing with them.

Durability

Flexible but durable, these little guys are made from a material similar to a mix of rubber and plastic. They can withstand some serious rough play, but they are small so you’ll want to keep them out of the reach of young toddlers who like to discerningly put tiny things in their mouths still.

Entertainment Value

The set of three features weighted dive sticks shaped and painted like Captain America, the Hulk, and Iron Man (though there is also a Spider-Man pack available in the same model/design). The characters are soft and flexible, with bright colors that can easily be spotted at the bottom of the pool.

Design

These toys are perfect for children who are learning how to swim as they will encourage them to put their head under the water.

Educational Value

As your child dives to grab each character they will be increasing their hand-eye coordination as well as getting exercise. The fun doesn’t have to be limited to the pool, your little one can enjoy these characters outside of the water as well. Each of the characters are composed of a thick rubber material that gives them a high level of durability.

Durability

Durable but bendable, these toys don’t snap easily. Sun damage will do just about anything in eventually, so take them inside or keep them in the shade if they’re not in use.
