Pull the creature's tongue and it will vibrate and make noises as his glowing eyes flash. A motion sensor reacts when the creature is turned upside down or knocked over making it respond to being played with. Arms flap when you pull the tail and there are roars of delight when you shake them.You can record your voice and the creature will play back your message in his own monstrous voice. Each creature also comes with its own tasty snack and will chow down on it noisily.
Freddy received Blizz, a white and blue yeti with a ring through his nose, who has his own ice lolly snack. To unbox him, you use the crowbar to pop the padlock, then release the lid of the crate. Then Blizz pops out to play! He has big feet, yellow horns, a long, red tongue and flashing green eyes. To fully activate the Crate Creature, you have to switch him fully on, accessing the switch under his fur using the velcro section on his back. This activates a whole host of interactions, funny noises and gross sounds such as chomping, snoring, roaring and farting!
The voice recording feature is a huge hit. Freddy made him repeat lots of funny things as I'm sure you can imagine! The creature can record and replay 10 seconds of audio, simply by pressing his belly to activate the recorder. Hearing your words repeating in a funny monster voice is a lot of fun.
When you've finished playing, you can secure Blizz back into his crate for safe keeping. The crow bar fits onto the side of the crate and the chains and padlock can be re-secured easily. The re-usable packaging is a really good feature of this toy and the boxed Crate Creature will look good on a shelf with his eyes peeping through the bars and tongue lolling out.
The Crate Creatures Surprise toys add a gruesome element of monstrous fun to playtime. The crate, crowbar, padlock and chain are a novel feature and add to the play value as you break out your very own creature. The toy pops up when the lid is opened, which is a nice touch. The designs of the creatures are very appealing to kids with their fuzzy fur, glowing eyes and waggling, sticky-out tongues. Children will thoroughly enjoy interacting with the creature and the funny noises are guaranteed to make them giggle. Freddy particularly enjoyed Blizz's snoring! Blizz can hold his ice lolly in his gripping hand and sticking the lolly in Blizz's mouth elicits lots of noisy and gross eating sounds, which is very amusing. Blizz is a cute, furry little ice monster who will definitely melt any child's heart.
Each Crate Creature takes 3 x AA batteries, which are included. Each of the four creatures comes in a padlocked crate with its own favourite food item. They are recommended for children aged 4 and up and retail for £39.99 RRP at stores such as Amazon, Argos and Smyth's Toys.
