We received this Imaginext DC Super Friends BatBot Xtreme and my 2 children absolutely love it and haven't stopped playing with it since!
The quality play time that they have both had together has been brilliant, and they have even played nicely, for a change!
The BatBot is over 2 feet tall and has some pretty amazing features!
There are 3 Power Pads on this BatBot, this is where your included Batman figure can stand on, when you twist him on the power pads each one has special features.
So on the right shoulder there is a Power Pad, you stand Batman on and twist, he then springs open his wings which spread over 3ft, and also displays two fists. These fists are controlled by the triggers at the back of each arm, you insert one of the yellow disks into the front of the fist, then by pressing the trigger out of the back it shoots across the room! Both of the fists have this action so great for single player use or 2 player. Grace and Jake loved doing this and aiming onto the sofa!
So on the left shoulder there is another Power Pad, when you twist this it allows the chest area of the large BatBot to open which is the Command Center. Inside you have like a lift, for Batman to stand in and then he can be lift up or down and into the BatBot's head.
The last Power Pad is on the right foot. Stand Batman on this Power Pad, twist and woooosh... out comes the Batcycle!
The Power Pads can be used by your hands too to work, you don't need Batman to stand on it, but it does add to the fun!
The Batbot requires 3xAA batteries once you have inserted them all the noise and lights work, which brings it so much to life, it is brilliant!
You can also press the button at the back of the BatBot's head and talk into the microphone to hear your voice change, mega fun, and a great feature to the product. Grace and Jake keep swapping turns speaking into him, and then end up laughing.
The Batbot also features Shoulder Cannons on either shoulder, insert your darts into the Shoulder Cannons, there are also 3 buttons situated above the darts, you can press each button to release a dart, and there is storage for 2 more darts under allowing you to fill up on the go whilst you battle your enemy (or in Jakes instance, his sister!)
On the back of the BatBot your child's imagination can still run wild as BatBot's feet and arms have compartments, so this would be great to add any other toys to the playtime fun. Jake has plenty of Lego DC characters, so he has brought them to play too and places them at the back.
The contents of the box are:-
BatBot
Batman character
BatCycle
4 disks (for the fists)
10 darts (for the Shoulder Cannons)
Instructions
The BatBot is very well built, and I can see it lasting us quite a few years, good value for money due to the extensive play that my 2 children have had from the BatBot
Suitable ages 3-8 years old, Jake is 7, and I don't see him growing out of this anytime soon, he has had so much fun with it!
The contents were all secured and arrived safely.
I would like to recommend this product, it has been great fun for my 2 children, and hasn't been a toy that's been left after a day of play, it is one that they keep coming back to. It is great quality, and is very sturdy with no flimsy buts that will break after a few uses. All round great product for children to enjoy with one of their best DC characters.
