Comment: Our grandson absolutely loved the mask. He played with it all day. It was simple to assemble & adjusts to different head sizes.
Summary: Very neat, but... 2010-07-12
Comment: My 6 year old grandson received this for his birthday. The sound and light up features are very cool and it seemed to be well made. His dad did have to do a lot of tweaking and adjusting to get the helmet to fit his son's head correctly. It was also a little awkward for him to see out of the mask without leaning his head downward....
Summary: a really cool toy 2010-07-07
Comment: my son has been playing with this from the second he opened this on his birthday. the construction is great - nice and sturdy. cool sound effects. just a really cool boy's toy.
Summary: Exactly what he wanted 2010-07-06
Comment: My 3 year old has coveted the Iron Man helmet ever since he first spied it in a certain ubiquitous discount store months ago. He was told he could get it when and only when he performed a big-boy duty involving the potty.
Yesterday the event occurred.
This has been my life since:
LAST NIGHT (an hour after bedtime):
HIM: I don't wanna go to bed, I want to wear my Iron Man helmet!!!
ME: You can play with it all day tomorrow.
HIM: I leave it right here on the couch. DON'T TAKE IT! Don't put it away!!
ME: Ok, I promise.
(10 minutes later from his bed)
HIM: (yelling out) Don't put Iron Man helmet away!!
ME: I won't.
6:22am THIS MORNING:
HIM: Uh, Mommy, I wait until the sun is awake... can I wear my Iron Man helmet now?
Everyone in the house has been instructed to try it on, work all the buttons, and talk about it over and over and over and over and over... (you get the idea).
He is beyond thrilled with it and (so far) hardly ever wants to take it off. He can see well enough out of it to be able to walk around without crashing (much).
From my point of view:
I don't see some of the fit problems that others mention.
I mean, it is a toy, after all, you don't expect it to fit perfectly. And it does have adjustments holes in many locations so it seems the size possibilities are very large -- not just standard "small medium or large" adjustment spots.
He is a small 3-year-old and we can make it fit him or his 14 year old brother (who is also a tad small for his age). And, if I wanted to go all out in adjustments, I feel pretty sure I could make it fit me. That is a pretty big fit range, I think.
It does come apart a bit too easily (if dropped too hard), and then has to be put back together. But you could probably solve the problem by duct-taping it from the inside if the clips get broken or weak. But it is ok if not abused.
If there is educational value to this toy, I don't know where it is. But it is certainly good for creative role play. He can BE Iron Man (and now wants the whole suit ... and the similar Star Wars Stormtropper helmet).
Summary: Birthday Gift 2010-06-13
Comment: This was the best thing I bought. It was a gift for my 6yr old nephew and he was thrilled and plays with it all the time.
