Inspired by the upcoming Black Panther movie, this Black Panther Electronic Helmet from the Marvel Legends Series features premium design and styling, as well as intricate detailing on mask. Features Vibranium light effects and lenses that flip up and down.  Includes: helmet and instructions.

My Thoughts

This helmet is simply amazing.  Inspired by the Black Panther movie, this electronic helmet will bring joy to anyone who is a fan of the Marvel character or anything related to Black Panther.   It can also be use for cosplay or for a costume event if you have an amazing costume of Black Panther.    It is definitively a premium roleplay electronic helmet for sure!

  

The attention to details put for creating this helmet is absolutely stunning.   You will find padding inside the helmet to make it more comfortable to wear for extended period of time and the eye area is protected with rubber so there is not pressure around that area.  This electronic helmet is packed with vibranium light effects that can be access by a simple touch of the side of the helmet.  This functionality helps to demonstrate the suit’s ability to absorb and redistribute the kinetic energy as we have seen in the movie.  The blue colors will spread on the side of the helmet.  Imagine seeing this in a dark environment…  

This helmet also possess flip-up and flip-down lenses which can be activated by the press of a button on the side of the helmet.   Also be aware that this helmet is not a protective device so do not wear it while doing extreme sports or riding a motorcycle.  This helmet is only for collectors and/or cosplay purposes.

Note that the helmet requires 3 AA batteries which are not included in the box.  And this helmet has been designed with an adult head in mind.  This is not suitable for a child’s head.

If you know someone who is a fan of Black Panther and collects items based on this character, this helmet would be a great addition to the collection.  It would also be a great gift for someone who is planning to become Black Panther in a cosplay event like ComicCon for example.    Or it could be a great décor element for the comic book fan in your life.   This electronic helmet is definitively an amazing item for anyone who enjoy the comic books universe.

The Marvel Legends Black Panther Electronic Helmet is available for purchase at your favorite toy store, even on amazon.ca and amazon.com.

Star Wars Ultimate Co-Pilot Chewie FurReal

Oh my word!   I recently received the new FurReal product that is based on a huge Star Wars character – Chewbacca himself.   This toy will definitively make numerous fans happy no matter what their age is.   This adorable plush is interactive in a wide variety of ways.   Over 100 sound and motion combinations can be activated including the arm raising roars. 

Chewie will reacts whenever he is in motion and will responds in the Wookie language when he is spoken to.   He also makes numerous facial expressions which will bring joy to whoever is playing with it.  

• The fur of this toy is simply amazing as well.  I have never touched fur as soft as on this plush before.    And to make sure that his fur withstand hyperspace travel, it has been gelled into place.   Gently brush to remove or let it wear off naturally with play. 

Chewie will definitively become a great co-pilot for your child’s adventure no matter where his/her imagination will take them.  But this amazing interactive plush can also be a great companion to the older fans of Star Wars.   It could be use as a display in your collection of Star Wars items or to entertain your family and friend who come to visit you.  After discovering different FurReal items over the years, I can honestly say that I am very impressed with the quality and design of Chewie.   The toy is very responsive and is realistic in many ways.   I find this is an absolute must have for the big fan of Star Wars in your life.

Note that demo batteries are included with the toy but you will need 4 x 1.5v AA alkaline batteries for longer play time.  

Star Wars Ultimate Co-Pilot Chewie FurReal is available at your favorite toy store even on amazon.ca and amazon.com.
