Oh ZipBins, how I love thee! LOL
So, you all know of my undying love for ZipBins, yes? The uber-cool carry cases/storage for toys that also double for a play mat? (Sigh- love!) Now Manhatten Toy has teamed up with ZipBins to create a really cute toy for boys, called Boysterous Action Figures.
My Little Man loved, loved, loved them. He was so excited when they came out of the box, and called “video game boys” (because they look like character’s in his friend’s Leapster sports game.)
I love that they come in a convenient carry case, and we can bring them wherever. Since they are not based on actual sports stars, they are not going to have negative associations that they come with, either, and they are just “normal” people. I like that a lot. Just normal kids, playing normal, fun sports. LOVE it. It can be tough to find toys that are not just advertisements for celebrities or movies, and while Little Man loves to play with toys that are friends from his favorite movies and TV shows- sometimes it is really refreshing to play with toys that have no association with anything, and can let their imagination start fresh.

We brought our Boystrous toys out with us last weekend to a bruch for my grandma’s birthday party. They kept my Little Man entertained the whole 4+ hours we were there- after missing his nap, too!

It awesome that the ZipBin not only carries the toys, but also is both a skate park on one side, and a soccar field on the other. Yay for versatility! Not to mention getting more for your dollar.
These toys are magnetic, so the board sticks to their feet, as does the soccer ball. Hands are also magnetic!

We also play with them at home, of course! 🙂

The Boysterous™ action figure line is the newest, edgy, addition to Manhattan Toy. Boys all over have anticipated the arrival of this exciting new collection. Rambunctious, but not rowdy, these boys are a new twist on action figures. The Boysterous boys are here and ready to play! “It’s the perfect gift for boys ages 3-8. Action figures based on real kids – not over-hyped, over-paid sports stars, or characters filled with violence and other material inappropriate for small boys.”
There are five sports themed action figures in all: hockey, skateboarding, snowboarding, soccer and football. These exciting sports themed action figures are fun to pose as they go zipping and zooming all-around their adaptable Zip-Bin® playing field and park action sports.
Each action packed figure comes with their own sports equipment: hockey puck and stick, skateboard, snowboard, soccer ball and football. Magnetized feet and hand allow each action figure to grab their gear. Boys can collect all five for lots of exhilaration and sports fun!
