Editorial Review

In this entertaining and highly silly toy based on the Pixar film The Incredibles, young Dash is in a lot of trouble, being chased by one of the island guards of the nefarious bad guy Syndrome. The goofy looking black and blue guard wears a metal visor (you have to wonder how he sees through that thing) as he rides a unique gyroscopic vehicle called a Velocipod. Held in your hand, the Velocipod can be made to spin menacingly by squeezing a trigger as you move it through the air. The guard is of a pretty standard size, thereby leaving all sorts of options for other action figures in the playroom to commandeer it. What could Luke Skywalker or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or even Barbie do with a rig like this? The possibilities are endless. --Charlie Williams

Product Description

Fifteen years ago the world's legendary crime fighters were forced to hang up their suits and adopt civilian identities. But when Bob Parr (aka Mr. Incredible) is mysteriously summoned for a top-secret assignment, he leaps into action. When he discovers an evil genius is plotting mischief, the whole Incredible family flies to the rescue! When Syndrome's intruder alert sounds, his island guards take off in their Velocipods to chase down Dash! But even a Velocipod is no match for Dash's super speed! The Velocipod features real blade-thrashin' action! Pull down the handle, pull the trigger, and activate the spinning blade! The faster you pull, the faster the blades spin! Velocipod comes with Island Guard figure and bonus Incredibles poster! Ages 4 & up.

My son got this for Christmas and played with it for two minutes and was frustrated with trying to make it continue to rotate.
If it ran on batteries to rotate then my son could have used his imagination instead of his finger.
I just noticed it's recommended for five to eight year olds. They would not have the finger strength to last the two minutes my ten year old had. I was not impressed myself.
