Disney Fairies Balloon Playset review

Ever since the first Tinker Bell movie our little one has been crazy about the Disney Fairies.  We even stood in line at Disney World for two and a half hours just so she could see Tinker Bell and her friends.  There were a few Tinker Bell toys that she liked, but most of the sets just had Tinker Bell in them.  I was lucky enough to get the chance to review a new Tinker Bell playset made by JAKKS Pacific.

It’s a Disney’s Fairies balloon playset.  The new toy will hit the stores in the spring of 2010.  This one will have a Terence Fairy in it.  Terence is new to the fairies line of toys.  I’m sorry if that is not true, but that’s straight from my little one’s mouth, and she knows more about them than me.  This toy’s suggested retail price is $19.99.  It contains 11 small pieces so it wouldn’t be any good for children under 3 years old.  You can close up your balloon, and go on a journey whereever your mind takes you.  My little one says she can fly to Neverland with Terence, and save Tinker Bell from the evil fairies.  I hope this doesn’t mean that I want to take this, and the million other toys she has to Disney with us because there’s no room in the car. 

My niece was over playing with the little one, and her new toy.  She liked it so much that she asked her daddy if she could get one.  After seeing the toy he said it was cool, and asked me how much it cost.  When I told him the suggested retail price he thought that was a little high for a toy.  He said for something like this he would pay $14.99.  I did explain to him that toys are not cheap, and that this is a suggested price if they do make it $19.99.  Toys do go on sale.  In seeing how much he liked it I asked him if he felt it’s a toy that a boy could play with.  He thought it was cool for a boy, or a girl.  My overall review of this toy is that $19.99 is a little high, but it’s a well made toy.
