I think the Planet Heroes toys are a great concept. At a time when the interest level in science and space exploration is at a low, it's things like these that spark a new generations imagination to dream. The "Professor Darkness" toy is the villain, fittingly portrayed in the toy series' pantheon as the black hole. My son loves the light-up action, and the fact that it comes with two sidekicks "Photon" and "Neutron" (he has renamed them "Banana" and "Lime", thus erasing the vocabulary enhancement of learning the names of subatomic particles).

A slight downer was learning that the animated episode on the enclosed DVD is the same as included with every toy in the series. We had previously purchased "Ace"--the character symbolizing Earth--and my son had watched the video repeatedly. He was disappointed to find the "Professor Darkness" did not come with his own video.

The Planet Heroes line is fantastic for imaginative play, for critical thinking, and for light-hearted education / planet recognition. My three year old nephew loves this line of toys and the little movies/ episodes and comic books.

You just have to laugh at these villains and minions. Professor Darkness / Black Hole...what a great hook! hahahaha
