Gave as a gift to complete my nephews collection. He loved it. Not much else to say. His 2 brothers beat him up and took it from him- should got 3 of them I guess.

This whole series of Planet Hero toys is spectacular. Both of my 5 year olds adore this set. They are excited any time we are able to find a new "hero" to add to the fun. This figure is durable, teaches about the planets, encourages imaginative play and is used every day at our house.

I ordered this figure along with Jupiter and Saturn. The very first thing you notice is the sheer size of them. He's just not some tiny action figure, the entire package with vehicle and figure is 10-12 inches tall. Along with the size of Neptune comes some weight, don't go dropping him on any toes if you can avoid it.

The package is covered with facts about the actual planet Neptune, so I was surprised about the educational factor of this toy.

The air-bazooka feature on the ship is a neat novelty, and nice to see something interactive that doesn't shoot a tiny missile to potentially lose. The other feature, the "water" filling inside the figure is...odd. The shell of the figure looks and feels sturdy but I can't help but keep checking my son's toy box for leaks.

The only reason I didn't give this 5's is because without investing in other figures (hence, $$$) like any character from any toy line, repeat play can grow boring quickly without his buddies coming to the rescue. Neptune, while fun, isn't exactly a stand-alone toy.

I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old. He fiddled with it for a short time trying to figure out what it was and what it did. That was several months ago and I have yet to see him play with it since. In fact, I wonder what ever happened to it??? Oh well, I'm sure it's at the bottom of his toybox somewhere.
It really is just one of those toys that a kid needs to pick-out for himself. It just so happens that my kid never would have picked this action figure. But, I'm sure there may be a kid out there somewhere that finds it to be great fun.
