We have Transformer fans of various ages in our home. As most know, Transformers are NOT known to be the most durable toys/collectibles, which makes them best suited for older kiddos.
In a family with lots of kids that span the years, it is not always practical for a younger child to wait until they are old enough for specific toys, especially when older siblings have such tempting toys (like Transformers). For Christmas I wanted to find some toddler safe Transformers that would be a good distraction for my younger kiddo, from my older kids' ones.
I had purchased one of these 2 years ago & it is still like new, despite being played with often by rambunctious kiddos.
After searching Amazon, I found this set of 5 (better price than buying them individually, plus we knew which ones we were getting, rather than a random single Transformer being sent) & decided to try it. Not only does the toddler LOVE these, but so do the older kiddos.
Our 1st set had 2 Transformers that would NOT transform, so I had to exchange them. The replacement set worked perfectly right out of the box. The kids have played with these for HOURS, & they look good as new.. in spite of them being boy-handled, tossed across the room (they were "FLYING" :(... ), etc.
We are very happy with this set, & it gets HOURS of play from my kids. I have told the toddler that these are his SPECIAL Transformers & that has kept him from constantly trying to play with the more fragile ones, meant for older kiddos.
These do NOT do all kinds of transforming. They are sturdy BECAUSE they do NOT have a bunch of moving pieces, so if you want something that does some amazing transformation, look elsewhere. These are BASIC Transformers meant for toddlers & up, so they too can have fun with Transformers, withOUT breaking them after 30 seconds of play.
These are easy for a 1-2 year old to Transform once you show them how to, & they are the PERFECT size for their little hands. You simply push the head up or down to transform them. There is nothing extravagant about them, BUT they are STURDY & are thrilling for the little kiddos, no matter if they don't transform a bunch or not. They have been a great distraction for my toddler, & he enjoys having his OWN Transformers.
I WOULD purchase these Transformers again!

Customer reviews
The size doesn’t bother me as much as the lack of transforming. It doesn’t change much.The arms open like flaps, and that’s it.
