Itty Bittys - Star Wars - Review and Win!

With Star Wars: The Force Awakens out to buy on dvd this week I was pleased to be contacted by Hallmark to review their Itty Bittys Star Wars range. I will be honest and say that my little geeky heart did skip a beat!

Itty Bittys are a selection of stuffed toy characters from a range of different themes, from Disney, Star Trek, Star Wars, Scooby Doo and more. Like these Batman and Superman characters on release of the Batman verses Superman film.

They are, as their name suggests, "itty bitty" small and are only 4" in height.

They are soft and suitable for children, or, like me, adults, geeks and collectors (of which they seem really popular as Hallmark seem to retire characters making them selective)

I was given a selection of characters from the range of 21 available to buy:

 

Darth Vader

Yoda

Chewbacca

 

Stormtrooper

 

C-3PO

R2-D2

Each character has a surprising level of detail which is then an addition to being soft, small and child safe. Obviously, as a professional blogger, I had to put them to the test.

Okay, okay, who am I kidding with this "professional blogger" stuff, admittedly, I did end up playing with these myself before I gave them to the boys. Not sure who was more excited the child in my, the geek or the boys themselves!

Here's Chewbacca defeating a Stormtrooper in battle!

Chewbacca helping Yoda escape to safety from Revenge of the Sith.

I know, Darth Vader never actually met Yoda but I felt it necessary to pair them. Yoda would have won right?!

"Far from the lightside, you are Master Skywalker"

I obviously had to recreate this scene! Now, just imagine if I had Obi-wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker as well!

"These aren't the droids we're looking for"

Okay, enough of me playing with them. From a parents point of view these are great for children who are avid Star Wars fans. Both of my boys were excited, as much as I was, to play with them and put each character into different situations. Although we did have some argument over who was going to be good or evil?!

The fact they are small means that they are not only easy to handle but also great for storing and taking places; rather than taking a range of larger toys with you.

With Itty Bittys being introduced to the UK late last year I can see these, as well as the other characters from films and TV, being a massive hit in households of both big and small children ;) (especially if the introduction in the US, Austrailia and Canada follow suit where stocks where being sold out!)

With birthdays coming up I know I will be keen to add to this collection with the remaining characters and, hopefully, the boys might remember these when it comes to Fathers Day (hint)

So, if they are for a child, Dad, geeky adult or a collector then I would highly recommend that you check out the other collections available.
