Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack
Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her
favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value.
My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months
now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My
daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.

Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet
Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!! |
