MarvelSuper Hero Mashers Groot Figure

When I first saw "Mashers" I thought...'Wow, someone just came up with an idea to make a whole lot of money!' Because essentially the idea of these "Mashers" is you buy several different figures, your child pulls them apart and then attaches them back together mixing up their parts and making new figures. This can get expensive! It was a trap I was not about to fall into....until....Santa decided a few Superhero Mashers couldn't be all that bad! Well let me tell you, several months later, my 5 year old son not having any previous knowledge of the Masher series has decided these are his favorite toys. I must admit, although it can be a financial trap it is amazing for me to watch my son play and create. I love these action figures now because I can see how much they stimulate his mind and his imagination. He will sit for a long time and he recreates different super heroes and villians, mixing up their powers and strengths and weaknesses. Even if my child doesn't know 'who' the masher is to begin with, like this "Groot" figure, he calls "Branch Man" because he looks so realistically like a tree, he creates new 'species' and figures! It's also good for fine motor skills because when you pull apart the figures you have to reattach them to sometimes hinged or movable parts and it's a little tricky for little hands, but builds skill in that area. We now have about ten different Mashers in our collection and I'm sure there are many more to come! I have to admit, I've been drawn in by these mashers too and have many times sat on the floor with my son recreating new heroes and villains and fighting the most fearsome foes to save the world!A few side notes: the joints are really tight when they are new, which is good because they stay together. But the down side is my five year old has a difficult time pulling them apart when they are brand new. Then once the action figure is worn in and played with a lot, the joints become loose and for example, a leg doesn't stay on and falls off easily. That's not cool. Also, the D.C. Comics are not represented as Mashers. That's really too bad because what fun it would be to mash-up Super Man with Bat Man and Robin and so on!!!

Excellent purchase completely satisfied

My nephew loved it

Bought this as a gift for my Son, however when it arrived his right leg (branch) was missing, looks like it was left out when packaged as there was a space for it in the plastic insert?One quick call to Hasbro and the missing part was received within 10 days

I bought it as a gift for my nephew.

Fantastic toy.. 4 year old son loves them.

Little nephew loves it

What I needed, but pricy!

A Christmas present for one of my grandchildren I'm sure he will be very pleased with it.

fan du film, j'adore cette figurine qui habite ma bibliothèque SF; et mon petit fils est content de retrouver les figurines mashers et jouer avec à chaque visite.

Mon fils est ravi ! Il agrandi régulièrement sa collection et "je s'appelle Grot" était cerise sur le gâteau ! La livraison ultra rapide, comme toujours.
