Dreamworks Dragons How to Train Your Dragon, Tame & Train Interactive Toothless

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family received the Tame and Train Toothless for free from Spinmaster and my son was so excited! He helped me write this review. Firstly, opening the box is a breeze because all you have to do is pull the cardboard tab and tear around to remove the top of the box. Next, you twist tabs on the bottom to remove Toothless from the last part of the box. There are no sharp plastic edges, twisties, or scissors required. It came ready to play which is a bonus. Don't forget to switch it from Trial Mode to On/Play mode! My son is 12 and still loves to collect figures from his favourite movies and shows, especially if they are interactive as he likes to make his own movies by filming and editing. Toothless is PERFECT for that as he has so many interactive features like glowing eyes, noises just like in the movies, and moving wings. There is a great element of imaginative play as well. My son said he thinks this toy would be best for 5 and up, and I agree. It isn't too complicated to learn to use, but it does require some patience and dexterity. When you first meet Toothless, he is angry and wild. You need to earn his trust by letting him sniff the fish, then quickly putting it in his mouth (this was a bit tricky at first, but he figured it out!). Next Toothless will let you pet him. He begins to trust you and has sensors that allow him to follow your movements with his head (he does not walk). Once you start to bond, he shows he is ready to fly by extending his wings and you can fly him through the air for more special sound effects and reactions! There are several sensors for touch, light, and movement, so Toothless will react to you which is so cool. There are so many different sounds and ways he expresses his emotions (you can tell by his eye colour). You can also turn him off if you just want to display him, make your own sounds, or take him along as a quiet buddy. We would both recommend him for any fans of dragons, How to Train Your Dragon, or animatronic toys. You don't have to know the movies, but it makes it extra special as you can act out scenes or write your own and feel like you have your own Toothless dragon friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun interactive toy. Trying to train Toothless so he would open his wings and be friendly took patience and care. Feeding him when he was hungry resulted in a lot of fun sound effects. When you think you have him fully trained he surprises you by doing something new. We were able to get him to change most of his eye colors but are still working on getting him to go to sleep. His wings were finicky and sometimes only one would open. Overall such a fun and unique toy to play with. We had fun taking him on road trip adventures, flying him through the air and feeding him fishies.
