Matchbox not only takes us up in the air but also out to sea with their Sky Busters Aircaft Carrier. It comes with one Matchbox airplane, which is called a Sky Buster. These planes are really cool. The body is metal and the wings are hard plastic. I bought one of them to use as decoration on an island-themed cake. When I tried to break the plane to create a plane-crash on the cake, I only succeeded in tearing off the wings after a couple of minutes. The carrier holds up to eight planes and is portable. These toys don’t float on water, so don’t take them into the bath with you. Available on Amazon.com for $17.
Matchbox also takes us to the road with Real Talking Rocky. Rocky is a dump truck that stands up and talks when you press a button. The button launches him into the standing position, and he is easily reset by pressing him down to look like dump truck. He sells on Amazon.com for $10.
For those who like to fall asleep listening to the soothing sounds of the rails, Fisher-Price has come out with Good Night Thomas. This is a plush toy that says “good night” phrases to your child as he drifts down the tracks to Dreamville. It requires 2 AA batteries that are stored in the back of the toy in a case. The case is a bit hard but is mostly enclosed in padding. The other part that’s not completely soft is the face where the speaker is encased. However, both these places are just small parts of the toy, and the padding is large enough that you really have to squeeze in the certain areas to feel the hard plastic. Good Night Thomas sells on Amazon.com for $20.
