Summary: Best $4 toy I've purchased in a while 2010-03-09
Comment: My 4yr old loves the movie and likes using this as a puppet to amuse her 1yr old sister. pretty awesome...wouldn't pay more than $10 though.
Summary: Worth the price 2010-01-31
Comment: We bought Bob for my 6 year old son along with Ginormica for my 9 year old. Bob is incredibly durable. The abuse Bob has taken is enormous. He stretched Bob so wide I was amazed it didn't rip apart. My son enjoyed it although not as much as my 9 year old liked Ginormica. He really liked playing with the goop but it didn't last long as dirt and stuff got into it (plus it smells really toxic). I was personally happy to see the goop gone. They both enjoyed putting their hands in it and using it as a hand puppet. For the price Bob was well worth it.
Summary: fun Action Figures 2010-01-10
Comment: We got several of the Monsters vs. Aliens action figures for our son for Christmas. He plays very rough with his toys, so durability is very important to me. These toys are great. They are large and durable. The arms and legs do come off if pulled, but they snap right back on. There was a large grouping of kids gathered for the holidays, and they all enjoyed playing with these toys.
Bob the Blob does come with "slime", which doesn't serve any purpose expect making a mess. We did put it inside the figure, as instructed, but it didn't do anything fun. It was just messy. I would suggest letting the kids play with the slime by itself.
Summary: Durable and fun! 2010-01-01
Comment: I bought this for my 3 year old, so I didn't even give him the slime that came with it. I knew he liked Monsters vs. Aliens so I got this. It is one of his favorite toys now. He likes to put his hand inside of it. He also likes to bite it for some reason, but it is very durable. He has not damaged it yet! Great for any B.O.B. fan.
Summary: Fun Novelty Item 2009-12-28
Comment: Gave this to my daughter for her 10th birthday and it was a big hit. Once she opened it, none of the kids would leave it alone. They loved the slime it came with. I will say it does not "suck up" anything like the description stated. But, once they placed the slime in it, they had a lot of fun with it. Doesn't do much, but is a fun novelty item. Has not been played with since the party, so will likely just decorate our movie theater with our Monsters vs. Aliens poster.
