"toddler gardener" 2010-01-12
By Carolyn S. Michelson (Springfield, Oregon)
Was disappointed to find the spray bottle that came with this did not have a leaver to make it squirt, until I realized that was the first thing my 5 y/o granddaughter grabbed out of it & I imagined all the things she wanted to squirt & get wet. Yikes!!! Then I didn't mind throwing it away. Regardless, she loved the bag (just like grandma's!) and can't wait to help me garden this spring.

"Great gift for any little garder :)" 2009-06-06
By T. Toys
I bought this gift for my 3 year old niece and she loved it. Her mom loves to garden and now she has her own little set of tools in a handy tote to take to the garden and help mom with the flowers and vegetables. Her mom said that they have been having a wonderful time gardening together. My niece also like to take her tote with her to her sand box and play with the tool in the sand. Great gift for any toddler.

Amazon.com Product Description

Get outside and have a blast with the BlongoBall Game Set! This lawn game is easy to learn and has recently been popping up in campsites, tailgate parties, and backyards everywhere. BlongoBall is played by 2 players or teams, and you simply attempt to toss the BlongoBalls onto the BlonGoals. Each rung of the BlonGoal ladder is worth a different number of points. You continue play until you reach 21. But be careful! Your BlongoBalls can be knocked off the ladder by other players forcing you to lose points. The BlongoBall Set features 2 BlonGoals, 2 sets of BlongoBalls, and an easy to carry box for maximum portability. So, join the craze and see what BlongoBall is all about!
Liven up your camping trips and family reunions with this full BlongoBall set. Appropriate for use both outdoors and indoors, BlongoBall combines elements from bocce, horseshoes, croquet, and other lawn sports, but adds a unique twist: rather than throwing a ball or a shoe, you throw a BlongoBall, which is technically two small spheres connected by a thin stretch of rope. The goal is to wrap your BlongoBall around one of the horizontal bars of the BlonGoal, which stands 25 feet away (or less if kids are playing). Players score one, two, or three points with a successful throw, depending on which bar the BlongoBall grabs. And the game ends when one person or team reaches 21 points exactly. You can even add a bit of defensive strategy to the game by trying to knock your opponent's BlongoBalls off the bars.

BlongoBall is fun for kids and families, but it's also great for physical education classes, teambuilding games, or even as a rehab tool in a therapy setting. The BlongoBall set comes with two BlonGoals and two sets of BlongoBalls. Players can also purchase such accessories as extra BlongoBalls, a carrying bag, and a portable score tower.

About BlongoBall
Mike Long and his wife, Roberta, were early retirees who spent much of their time fishing, hunting, rafting, boating, and RVing. When Mike was introduced to the rudimentary concept of BlongoBall, he decided that the game merited serious development and investigation. Mike built the prototype game and used all of his friends as test subjects. BlongoBall was tested on the beaches of Lake Powell, on raft trips on the Salmon River, on the beaches of San Diego, and in parks and campgrounds form the southwest to the northwest. In every location, passersby would stop and interrupt the games to find out where they could buy BlongoBall. The enthusiastic response encouraged Mike to continue to refine the rules and goal configurations.

After months of design, research and testing, Mike applied for and received a patent for BlongoBall, which has been enthusiastically received by kids and adults of all ages since its release. Founded in 2004, BlongoBall is located in Spokane, Washington.


Technical Details

- Enhances eye/hand coordination

"Fun Additions to the Sand Box" 2010-05-12
By Jennifer Clark (Frisco, TX)
I was a little hesitant to buy this product due to some of the reviews about durability. However, we've had this product for a week and so far it's been a great addition to our sand box. The toys seem very durable and a lot comes with the set. Granted, my 3 yr old is using them in a sand box as opposed to the beach so he may not be using them as hard as others. My son also loves to take water from his water table and put it in the sand table which is perfect for using the train and airplane molds. The sifter is also really fun. We hide shells and such in the table and he loves using the shovel and sifters to search. So far we are very happy with this product...it did exceed my expectations. If anything breaks in the new future I'll report back.

"not very durable" 2010-05-03
By S. A. Frisch
First of all, my daughter loves these toys; we bought them for her sand box in our back yard. Unfortunately, the shovel broke in half (handle's plastic snapped at base of shovel) after less than 2 months of use. The handle just snapped off. (My daughter just turned two when this happened so I'm assuming she didn't do it!) The sifter has little notches on the side so you can set it on top of the bucket. My daughter loves to pour sand through the sifter and into the bucket to see what size pebbles stay on top. That is probably the most "educational" this toy gets (which is why I gave this 2 stars for the educational value--but this isn't an educational toy, so I don't think that's a bad thing). And my daughter LOVES the watering can. She uses it literally every day to water our hibiscus.

Pros: fun colors, lots of different toys in one set
Cons: shovel broke soon after purchase

"Many items for price" 2010-03-22
By SDMom (San Diego, CA)
This kit contained many brightly colored items- all the basic beach toys, plus a couple of fun molds (train and plane). We haven't taken the toys to the beach yet (but we have played with them in the bath). I was a little disappointed in the quality of the plastic- I was hoping the plastic would be a little thicker, and less brittle-feeling. The carrying-case is nice, but I realized a net-like bag would be better, so all the sand can shake off and the toys can dry out. I can imagine the plastic bag will get full of sand and dirty water after the first use. So, I'll probably find a different bag to carry them in. Overall though, I think the price is quite reasonable for what you get. This will get us started for beach play- and if I can buy more toys later if necessary.

"Mask not the same as War Machine." 2010-05-09
By A. Davis
This is a well made figure, as are all of the Marvel Select line, but watch out. The War Machine figure's mask goes on and comes off, but this one does not. You either get the mask on, or the mask slid up to reveal the face. I got the mask up because I thought it slid down, but it doesn't. If that is a deal breaker, now you know.

Standing around 7â tall, Kratos in Golden Fleece Armor is equipped with the Swords of Chaos, and features an alternate right arm with Golden Fleece armor as well as an alternate right hand carrying MedusaâTMs head. He looks like one of the cooler action figures to float down the river in a while. Both weapons and armor look intricately detailed, and Kratos himself appears to be pretty well articulated. Kratos reigned supreme until his army was finally outmatched and overwhelmed. At the precipice of death, Kratos forged a pact with Ares, the latter of whom annihilated KratosâTM enemies in returned for KratosâTM contained obedience. Kratos evolved into a more bloodthirsty, indomitable warrior, although after Ares maneuvered Kratos into the killing of his own wife and daughter, Kratos rebelled and became aimless. Eventually the rest of the Gods recruited Kratos and reinforced him in an endeavor to defeat Ares.

Technical Details

- Kratos in Golden Fleece Armor
- Includes Medusa Head and Sword
- 7" Action Figure
- Highly Detailed and Articulated
- What Ares didn't know was that saving Kratos would eventually bring forth his own downfall!

"Brutal" 2010-05-13
By Matthew Rea (Columbia, PA USA)
I am a HUGE God of War fan, its my favorite game series of all time, so its fitting that this figure is my favorite in my collection! The detail is incredible, especially on his armor and the Medusa's head. The armor on his legs even have blood splatters across it, which really add to the brutality of the figure. And the head...holy $#@%! Not only can you see inside her mouth, but the details on the gore are almost sickening! Bloodied bone and tendons dangle, and i swear i've seen blood drip! Seriously it looks that real, blood is even running out of her nose! i won't look it in the eye, lest i be turned to stone! Overall, i am extremely pleased with this product, especially since amazon finally got a new shipment in, drastically lowering the price! Buy it now! You won't regret it!!

"Long Live Kratos!!!" 2010-05-11
By N. Nevins
Well as an avid fan of anything God of War this purchase was a no brainer. I love the God of War games, and wanted to add a Kratos figure to my video game action figure collection. But in all honesty some of the prices that people are selling Kratos for is ridiculous. For example for this figure the price ranges from [...] for the exact same thing. I mean would someone actually pay 150 for something that can get for 17? Anyway thats off the point. I love this figure. Hes the tallest in my collection, and is close to as intimidating as the Big Daddy, but who would you most want to run into in a dark alley (Neither?). Very well detailed, and well made. His hands are removeable so one of them can hold the severed medusa head if you like. The pictures show only one sword, but it comes with both blades of chaos. Awesome addition to any collection. Fully recommend. PS: New game coming on PSP for God of War (Ghost of Sparta), cant wait!!

"Great buy for any God of War fan!" 2010-05-07
By K. Bodine
I can sum up this action figure in one word; awesome. But if I would leave this review just at that, I wouldn't be doing Kratos justice. The detail in the figure lives up to the epic battles Kratos has endured over the many years. And even though the blades of chaos are in "mini" form don't be fooled, they still seem ever-so-deadly. And Medusa's decapitated head, just goes to show you that you don't get in the way of even a toy replica of the God of War. I would highly recommend this collectible to ALL God of War fans!

"Must have for any God of war fan" 2009-06-04

This is a must have for any God of war fan, rather Kratos fan. the anger on his face on the toy is awesome.
The hands detach and reattach also they are flexible too which was cool as the blades can then move in any direction
really wished if they had enclosure on his back to put his blades of chaos. lol

"Very novel and pretty fun" 2010-05-08
By Travis Illig (Portland, OR United States)
I'll admit that I bought this for myself and not a kid, but it's a pretty nifty thing.

When you press the center of it, it lights up amber (think "yellow traffic light" color) and makes cool energy "power up" noises. I think there are three different noises.

The way it sticks to your shirt is that there's a plate that snaps off the back - you see it as a little red "ring" around the bottom in the product picture. You put the plate inside your shirt and the arc light snaps into it from the front of your shirt. It works really well with t-shirt weight material, but it might be tight with a sweatshirt, and you definitely wouldn't be able to get it on a sweater. There aren't any magnets the way I read on other web sites - it's just that snap-in plate.

I can see if you were wearing a looser shirt and jumping around then the momentum of it might work the light enough that it would pop off, but I've moved it around pretty hard to see how well it attaches and it's pretty well attached.

I have to give it novelty points because you can attach it to your own shirt and that mechanism works well. Usually with these things they're attached to some sort of one-size-fits-all thing that doesn't fit anyone - child or adult. With this, you can use it with any Halloween costume or whatever you want. Really cool.

I'd give it a full five stars if the light was white or whitish-blue the way it was in the movie, or if it was just a little bit thinner - it's about an inch deep and sticks out slightly more than I feel it should. Otherwise I dig it.

"They made the lights yellow :(" 2010-05-03
By Chris Matthes
Sticks to shirts ok. My nephew ran around with it on for quite a while without it falling off. I was very upset that they made the lights yellow instead of white. Even the promo shots (on other Iron man toys) shows it as white. Although I knew it was yellow because I tested it before purchase. But still :(

"Great item." 2010-03-03
By Tara Cunningham (Baton Rouge, LA)
This is a great drum set, but we purchased it for my son for Christmas when he was three years old. I think since it's such a nice set, and we didn't monitor him as closely as we should have, it may have been purchased too soon. He'll be five this year, and it probably would have been a much better gift this Christmas.

"OUTSTANING!" 2010-02-16
By John A. Ford (Waldorf, MD USA)
I will give outstanding marks for all from the time I ordered the set all the way to the time it arrived in my city. However, the marks were not outstanding from the distribution point in the city to my house. I had to track it down and then found out it was delivered to another house and left on their porch. The worst part about it is they knew it was the wrong address. Go figure. But aside from that the product, order, shipping was all outstanding. My son absolutely love them. Thanks

"Excellent overall quality, one minor complaint" 2008-12-26
By R. Santia (Burbank, CA)
When my oldest son was 5 (14 years ago) I purchased a drum set for him from a music store. I paid about $100 back then and it fell apart within a week. I was very disappointed with the quality and sound of that kit. Now that I wanted to buy a set for my 4 year old, I was very careful in selecting a "real" drum set that he can enjoy for years and grow into. The GP50 is definitely it!
This is the real deal and not a toy. Sound is excellent and the build quality is great. At under $150, this set is a bargain. Some have mentioned it is time consuming to build, but I found it rather easy and had it together in no time.
My only complaint is the bass pedal squeak. It was so bad it, it was almost louder than the drums. I had to add a washer between where the bolt and the bracket meet and do a little tweaking by loosening and tightening the nuts until the squeak stopped. The pedal was already pre assembled, but I feel they should have added a bushing to prevent the squeak.
I am still very happy with this set (and so is my 4 year old). Perhaps the pedal problem was just with the one I received. It may or may not always be a problem, but it is easy to fix.
