Everyone can enjoy these over-the-top, vividly colored heroes and villains, with many new animated programs cropping up all over Netflix (some for kids, some for adults, and others for both). This new line of figures has a classic look but has been completely updated in terms of quality. As a parent, you can’t help but love character names like Man-E-Faces, Stinkor, and Evil-Lyn, which are all puns. These figurines are perfect for your 5-year-old toddlers.

I grew up with He-man. It is wonderful to see these new origins figures. This particular He-man has the retro style head so it looks just like the one I had back in the 80's only with more joints and more durable. Perfect for anyone be it an old-time fan or someone who wants to pass the love of Masters of the Universe onto the next generation

This buildable Hot Wheels Bone Shaker building kit, based on the famous hot rod vehicle, will let you hit the road in style. This fan-favorite vehicle features authentic details such as the iconic skull hood ornament, a chrome-colored chassis, and an exposed engine. Collect the whole series and mix and match pieces to create unique bespoke models. Place the supplied mini action figure in the driver’s seat and let Bone Shaker rip up the course. This is a great toy for kids aged 5 and above!

My 8 y/o grandson really likes this set. It's a lego-style build of a hot rod racecar and looks really neat when finished. Despite being Hot Wheels, it isn't really meant to fit a track or match anything other than other similar model build sets. I definitely recommend getting more than one set so there is more play value once the model is built. The instructions are clear and understandable even for an 8 year old, and the vehicle is fun to play with. Definitely a fun set.

Grogu’s head, ears, and limbs move, and his eyes open and shut as he interacts with (and largely tries to eat) a dish with tentacles, a multicolored cookie, a shifting knob, and a spoon, or make it move as if it’s channeling the Force. Reenact all of the most memorable sequences from The Mandalorian! This adorable baby Yoda is a great match for your adorable baby!

My 6 year old grandson fell in love with this interactive toy instantly. His giggles were contagious & he shared his joy with all our family. When he left for school, he made sure Dad would care for Grogu while he was gone & after “feeding” the toy, wanted to be sure it was placed in his bed for a nap until he returned home. The toy is endearing & enchanting.

Two figurines, a T-rex, a robot machine, armor, working cannons, a catapult, a barrel, and other detachable components are included in this set. Dinosaurs vs. robots is a timeless theme and classic pairing that you may share with your children. And, of course, it’s a Playmobil toy, so you know it’s well-made in Germany! So many components, so much activity, so many visits to the Natural History Museum to explain that,

What to say about a Playmobil? This is ideal for children who likes dinosaurs. The assembly is super easy because they indicate you step by step with the numbered bags. The dinosaurs are in one piece, you just have to assemble the armor. My 5 and 9 year olds loved it!

Bought this for a 3 year old's birthday party and it was a huge success! The kids were younger than the recommended age of 6, but with help from parents, they were engaged the whole time and it wasn't as messy as you might have thought. We soaked the eggs for a little over 5 min because it took a while to get the plates together and the activity area cleared out, and the eggs still held together and were easy to carve open! The kids thought it was a lot of fun.

A NASA-inspired research shuttle and rover toy set will delight young space explorers. The LEGO City 60226 Mars Research Shuttle playset includes a space shuttle toy with opening cockpit, 2 opening cargo doors, and space inside for the storage drone, rover with new articulated grappling arm, laser, and tilting solar panels, storage drone with opening compartment, and helidrone with spinning rotor blade and scanner, as well as a Mars scenery build with secret symbol.

My son wanted a lego spaceship for his birthday. I thought this would make him happy. I was worried, though, that at 5 years old he wouldn't do well with following the instructions and putting it together. I was wrong. With minimal supervision, he was able to put it together. He did most of the work. I mostly just kept him on track and checked his work as he went. He was super-excited the entire time. It was a fun experience for both of us. He likes to show it off to his friends and our other visitors.

The most popular toy of the year is also one of the most intelligent. Luvabella, like other baby dolls, will laugh, drink from a bottle, and speak in baby babble. The intelligent component, on the other hand, is the Spin Master A.I. chip, which can learn up to 100 new words by interacting with your youngster. Luvabella comes with a variety of accessories, including a bottle, pacifier, spoon, and blanket.

I was hesitant at first with this toy. My daughter loved it but to me it looked...interesting. But after taking this out of the box, I can tell why this will be one of THE hardest toys to find this Holiday season. It's very interactive and has many different functions. Unlike other toys, my daughter was able to stay engaged and play with this for hours at a time. This toy actually learned from us and changed its interactions (language expression). While this may be the beginning of Sky-net, this toy is worth your time and investment. The packaging is really well done and aesthetically pleasing. Both boys and girls will enjoy aspects of this toy. Play on!

Bumblebee’s body serves as the framework for four other Autobots to come together in order to construct a bigger, more powerful robot from the ground up. Children will enjoy playing with them individually as well as assembling and disassembling them, as each Autobot is a wonderful toy in its own right. They will be delighted after they have had a chance to play with this item.

Despute the age recommendations on toys, this particular toy became my son's (5) favorite. Other Transformers are too intricate and easily broken for his age. Others that are made for his age group are too basic and don't transform much, if at all. But this one is just simple enough that it doesn't frustrate it and it's five pieces keep him interested in it. He takes it everywhere! I wouldn't advise getting it wet because the Autobot seal will fall off (nothing glue couldn't repair). In the end, we ordered two other combiner packs but this model is the best one.
