Action Figure Reviews

My 2-1/2 year-old son received this for Christmas along with three of the plane characters and one of the hangars. The play mat is very cute, but it basically just acts as a storage area in our living room for the toys. He never uses it to actually play with the planes in terms of running them down the roadways, etc. It is durable enough, but I would say it's a waste of money.
UPDATED: My son is now 4-1/2, and actually uses the play mat more now than he did before. He must have been too young to grasp the idea of it, but now he's using it like it's intended. I guess it was a good buy after all!

I was so excited to see this mat I thought that it would be great to use with the wooden airplanes and buildings. I cannot understand why this mat was not made to accomodate the buildings/planes that are made for the wooden set (,planes, hangers, firehouse etc.) The mat should be a runway without airplanes and buildings pictured so that it could actually be played with. If anything they should have drawn dotted lines for where to place buildings that you have. What are you supposed to do with the wooden buildings that you have they do not fit on the mat. The planes can actually go inside the wooden hangers(more fun than a flat mat). Though the hangers are too small to accomodate all the planes(example the kids hanger....only two fit not three) It does make a nice, expensive rug or door mat for decoration though.

The Tarrytown Playmat added another dimension to the airport set and it allows my two-year old grandson to move the planes and vehicles around just like they would on the real thing.

my youngest child like this since he watches the show on cartoon network.he also uses it for his other action figure men

First, I confess: I'm an adult and I love playing with Legos. Thus this ship was something of a disappointment. As other reviewers noted, it's very unstable; the hull wants to keep collapsing as you build on it. The dragon figurehead will fall off if you breathe on it. Since the set SEEMS to be designed to be played with -- i.e., fire the catapult, move the sea serpent, etc. -- I would think a child would be very disappointed in this as a toy. You can't play with it or even touch it. So it's reasonably fun to build but that's it -- it's definitely under par given Lego's usual attention to such details.

My son and I had a great time building this beautiful ship, but shame on Lego for not putting a dislaimer on the box, "Not for Play, Only for Show!" You can't breath on this thing without the hull falling apart. You expect small pieces to fall off, but the backbone structure?. I will start tomorrow on some modifications (glue anyone) to make this thing an actual toy for a 7 year old with a great imagination. By the way, whatever happened to making your own designs with generic bricks?

My 7 year old had a great time putting the ship together, but I have to agree with the other reviewer who mentioned the durability factor. Once the ship is together it needs to stay in one spot or it will fall apart. Quite frustrating for my guys who wanted to 'play' with it after it was built. Looks good up on the shelf though...

This is very good figure as he has great sculpting and a incredible likeness as its pretty movie accurate. The big knob can be taken off to take off the coat! I recommend Marvel Movie/Marvel Legends/Spider-Man figures for age 10 and up due to the fragileness nature of the figures. Bottom line this is a must have figure if you are a big Fantastic Four fan! I strongly recommend this figure!
