Customer Review: Favorite Christmas Toy!
I kind of stumbled across the Fisher Price Line of Planet Heroes accidentally. Over the holidays I was looking for christmas gifts for my 3yo and found this rocket ship through Amazon’s “Todays Deals”. I had never heard of Planet Heroes but my son loves rockets, so I gave it a shot. Then we received a few of the planet heroes action figures from santa. He loves them; and this rocket ship was by far the favorite christmas gift. 6 months later, it is still one of his favorite toys.

The rocket ship is really durable and easy to manipulate for young children. It has a handle on the bottom with a “trigger” that works the sounds and the “flames” that come out of the back. There are a couple of buttons/levers that also activate the rocket sounds.

There are 2 pods that detach from the main ship. One has a pincher like tool on the front that works to grab things. The other pod has an arrow that you can “launch” by pressing a button on the steering column. I do agree with a previous reviewer that the arrow tends to get lost. Other than that, this is a great toy for young kids!

I noticed some reviewers mentioned the possible safety hazard of the plastic “flame” that pokes out the back of the rocket when the trigger is pulled. We haven’t had any issue with it. it is made of pretty flimsy plastic, overlayed with fabric. My son thinks it’s funny to poke himself with it, and hasn’t been hurt. Although I don’t doubt that if a child were running with the toy and fell on it, an accident could occur. I wouldn’t call it a safety issue, but it’s worth mentioning.

We also purchased Mars Digger and Earth Ace to go along with this toy. The figures are chunky and sturdy and easy to stand and manipulate the limbs and fit well into the rocket. I won’t say they are impossible to break, but my son is really hard on toys and these have now lasted us 6 months with lots of use and no casualties. They do not really have any tiny pieces to lose or break off.

I like that this toy line is educational - each figure teaches about his/her home planet and comes with a trading card that has great facts about the solar system. One of my favorite details is that each figure has a number on his/her chest that represents it’s position from the son. My son just thinks they are cool and tough and take all the abuse he can muster and keep coming back for more.

Figures are just slightly smaller than Fisher Price’s line of “Rescue Heroes”. We have a few of those figures as well, but unfortunately the Rescue Hero characters do not fit into the rocket ship (their feet are too big). Not a big deal, but as we play with them all together, it would have been great if they could all pile into the rocket for a ride.

I would absolutely recommend these figures for a toddler or young child.

Also, if you check out the planet heroes website, they have games, information about planets and the solar system, and even a couple of free dvds that you can sign up for to receive through the mail.
Customer Review: Stellar Product Delights!
The Planet Heroes line is fantastic for play, for story-telling, and for light-hearted education / planet recognition. My three year old nephew loves the characters, but his all time favorite product from the series is this ship. He absolutely loves it, and it is well designed, appropriate for little hands and minds. He literally will spend an hour dreaming up games and adventures with this toy. With lights, sounds, and spinning “rocket” flame, he is carried away into the land of imagination and often independent play. He enjoys the fact that the bigger ship has two smaller ships with it, and each of these little ships have special features. (This ship makes a rainy day more exciting.)

I like the product’s sturdy landing gear, big buttons and levers, and handle because I believe these features help a little child play easier with such a large toy.

The family enjoyed the DVD story that came with this product, and I’ve noticed that my nephew, while playing, will uses phrases and plot points from that story to enhance his own adventures.

NOTE: The character Sun Commander is quite larger than the other heroes, so he doesn’t fit in this space ship accessory. But hey, he is the sun, so maybe he doesn’t need a ship to fly….at least that is our story, and we are sticking to it! Digger fits quite well, even with his rocky toes!
