Hasbro contacted me a little while ago to see if I wanted to try out their new line of Iron Man toys that are coming out at the same time as Iron Man 3 this weekend. I'm not going to lie. I wanted the toys for myself more than I wanted them for Duchess. I love Iron Man. So I said sure! Send me some toys for my "daughter". Then, for the next couple weeks, I hurried home from work every day to see if the UPS guy had delivered my "daughter's" Iron man toys. Guess what came yesterday!!!
na na na NA NA NA NA NA IRON MAN!
Duchess got the Arc Strike Iron Man Figure
We also received the Iron Man Helmet (Marvel Iron Man 3 ARC FX Mission Mask
). Like the action figure, the mask's eyes glow blue and it talks. It also shoots little plastic darts out the sides at an unexpectedly high speed. Stevie was not entertained when one bounced off of her forehead. She was also not entertained when I wore the mask and jumped out of a closet and yelling IRON MAN!!! On a side note, the mask does not actually provide any protection from wife punches. In fact, it makes them hurt more.
So anyway. Good times were had by all, and you can't beat free toys. Well, I agreed to write a blog post about them, so I guess I am paying them with my words. Honestly, I would have paid them with dollars too. Seeing Duchess sleep cuddle with Iron Man, and getting my wife to agree to a picture of her with the helmet while nursing Captain would of been worth the cost alone, but being able to wear an Iron Man mask to work on Monday? Priceless.
Love, Dad (John)
P.S. This is part one of a two part product review. I also got some Angry Birds Star Wars toys. They were a little out of Duchess's age range, so I am taking them to my nephew's house to play with them and will be posting soon. If you don't remember my nephew, he's the one with the sweet dance moves.
John, I had to restrain myself from laughing at the wife punching you, because I'm at work :+)
ReplyDeleteSweet picture of mom feeding the Captain, I hope the internet pervs don't copy it send it everywhere.

DeleteMeh, it doesn't really show anything. I'm not too worried about it :)
DeleteI love that you can see Duchess making the flying noises in the photos. I'm also glad you get just as much entertainment out of the toys as she does. Hopefully Stevie doesn't wake up to you wearing the mask. On second thought, that would be pretty funny...
ReplyDeleteI can just see the caption to the breast feeding photo. "Breast feeding - building a stronger super hero..."
ReplyDeleteI would not trust anyone in my household, including myself, to use this product responsibly.
ReplyDeleteWow great post!
