Max Steel Toys (Giveaway)
Disclosure: I was provided with a sample of this Max Steel toy to facilitate this review. Any opinions are my own.
Our lifetime for generations has been filled with all sorts of “masked” superheroes like Spiderman, Batman and Superman who help law enforcement “catch the bad guys,” then fly off before returning to their human selves.
Max Steel is one of the latest television superheroes that’s aired on the Disney XD channel. Max McMcGrath is a teenage high school student who joins forces with Steel, an alien life-form. Max generates power and when they “Go TURBO!” their powerful forces are joined together to defeat evil forces with skill and humor.
Max Steel can be viewed on Disney XD and is recommended for children ages 7 and up. The episodes have a lot of boy humor but they do include some serious looking bad guys. As Gavin’s older I’m learning to preview what he’s watching prior, but that being said, my husband and I grew up in the ages of Star Wars, GI Joe, Voltron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man and Transformers. When the time is right, I can totally envision my husband watching these types of shows together with my son.
Mattel has created an entire line of toys, books and gaming experiences for children who want to embody Max and Steel’s superpowers in their pretend play. On it’s own, the Max Steel Interactive Steel with Turbo Sword has cool blue lights and it makes a various sounds. When Steel is attached to the sword with a simple twist motion, Max and Steel “get turbofied,” and this unlocks different phrases and sounds when used during action play.
Even at 4, Gavin knew exactly what to do with the sword. For kid’s who also aren’t into Max Steel per se, I also think that this particular toy would make a really cool accessory for a fun Halloween costume. Though he’s too young to view any of the Max Steel episodes and I’ll wait to expose him to some of the more interactive shows with bad guys and weapons, little boys have an innate sense that drives them toward this type of action play. Having been in daycare for his entire existence, he’s exposed to the interests of other children who have older siblings. Even before he used this sword, our extra vacuum cleaner attachments served the same purpose.
