Toy Story Basic Buzz Wing Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Two issues you should know about before purchasing:

1. The straps are not as simple as they appear in the pictures. First, there are too many of them for younger kids to make sense of--one over each shoulder, one under each arm, one around each side of the waist. To get into/out of the outfit, the "belt" strap and one of the over-the-shoulder straps come apart. Problem is: the unit is then a tangled mass of straps going in every direction--impossible for a little guys to unravel when they want to put the outfit on. We tried leaving it "assembled" (leaving the belt and shoulder straps connected, even when he's not wearing it) so he could see where each strap is supposed to go, but that didn't work. If it's tight enough to wear, it's too tight to wriggle into; if it's loose enough to wriggle into, it's too loose to wear. He just got struck trying to wriggle into the outfit.

2. Also, the slack from the over-the-shoulder straps hangs down in FRONT of the "breast plate." On the model, they've solved this problem by tucking the slack neatly away behind the other straps--in real life, that doesn't work for long. You can pin one of the straps down, but the other strap has to come apart where it joins the breast plate so your child can get into/out of the outfit, as noted above. Consequently, it can't really be pinned out of the way--at least, not permanently. You just have to keep tucking it behind the breast plate and the other strap. It doesn't look nearly as tidy as the picture suggests, and doesn't stay tucked away for long.

That said, my four year-old LOVES his Buzz Wings and wears them all the time! These minor issues are much more of an annoyance to me than they are to him.

Bottom line: younger kids will need a grown-up's help for putting on and taking off the outfit, and the straps are a more unwieldy than the pictures imply. Otherwise, a GREAT toy for your little Power Ranger.
