Got these for my 9 year old son. He loves them and enjoys imagining their special skills. The varieties of characters he can create are quite a bit. Bot male and female. One selection has a jet pack, another has roller wheels for boots, so it's pretty cool. His older sister likes to play with him making characters, as well. Product quality is decent and on par with the "girls" version of fashion plates most of us Gen Xers grew up with in the 70's. Recommend for up to 12 or 13 years old, depending on interests of the child. I don't recommend it for kids as young as 4, they could not operate it well and would be frustrated.
UPDATE: It's 2 years later and this still gets used at our house. I still recommend it!
I was so excited to get my daughter fashion plates and these for my son for our road trip. Turns out these have no storage like fashion plates do so the plates were much harder to use and keep organized.
Great fun for my artistic 6 year old. He loves to draw and color but soemtimes it’s hard for him to invent a starting point. Choosing the parts to make a hero is just the jump start he needs! Really convenient thar we can print out additional background pages at home (there are PDFs on the website of each background 2 to a page). We love it!!
This set reminded me of something I had when I was a kid but I had a girls version (which you can also find today) so i thought my 4 & 6 yr old would live these and they DID! Wendy’s had a smaller version in their kids happy meals a while back and those slides fit in this set! Sturdy well made set with many variations.
These are cute. I had a similar set back in the 70's and enjoyed it so when I saw this I got it for my grandbabies. It was just as much fun as I remembered. So simple to use my 3 year granddaughter used these w/out help.
My 6YO grandson is somewhat of an art prodigy. He is really good. So I thought these might be fun for him. He loves them. They are super durable and help him to expand his abilities and his confidence.
