TOMY Popping Penguin Island Review

Bath time is always fun time for my children. They love having playing with their rubber duckies, plastic cups, Disney princess make up set and mermaid to play with. This Autumn/Winter, TOMY will launch a new range of bath toys for endless fun in the bath for the children. Do look out for them.

Presently, TOMY have just last month launched the Popping Penguin Island which is suitable for 18 months and onwards. It is a colourful and fun floating island featuring four different coloured penguins with matching colour pads.  It required 3 AAA batteries which are not included in the box.  Once the batteries are installed, it is ready to go as there is no on/off button on the island.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Shell Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are fictional turtles who were trained in the art of ninjutsu to be heroes by their rat sensei.  It started off with comic books which were followed by cartoon series, films, toys and many more.  TMNT is one of my childhood favourite cartoon series and over 20 years on, they are still going strong.  Both of my children love them too.

We had recently reviewed the Turtles Flinger Donatello and Mutagen Ooze Leo which you can read and watch our video here.

Now we have received the battle shell series which are small figurines.  We have Michelangelo and Shredder.  They are suitable from 4 year and above.

Michelangelo carries his ninja arsenals in his indestructible Battle Shell.  If he meets any monsters, he is ready to pop open his protective shell for a weaponized surprize.
