Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber

My son has always had a fascination with tearing his action figures apart and putting them back together in new ways. As a long time fan of Ben 10, I knew he would love this toy. He has spent hours playing with it, creating numerous different combinations of aliens. The fact that these toys are MEANT to be torn apart and rearranged is awesome, and it was definitely his favorite thing he received for Christmas this year.

I can't really review this, since it's a Christmas present for my Grand son. It was one of his "must haves" so I know he will like it. He has many Ben 10 items, so this is an addition to his collection. I know that this is made of plastic, I hope it holds up.

very good toy

This product not only is very expensive but made extremely cheap. Also, I believe there is a lot of false advertising, considering the ONLY this toy does it snap on pieces for plastic characters and it does not even do that very well. Bottom line is, if you are looking for a toy that will put together action figures for your children, this is NOT it. The figures that come with this device were put together by my grandchildren without the use of the 'chamber' much quicker and than with the chamber. The entire toy was used for approximately 10 minutes, before the children decided for themselves that this is worse than a piece of junk, they have not used it since. If you $[...] you want to burn, please just send it to me, rather than purchase this obvious bogus toy.

You usually have to use your hands to "help" the machine put the parts together. My 7yo likes it and has played with it pretty often.

I bought this for my 5-year-old Grandson's birthday and he really loves it. He and I usually play it together when he comes to visit on weekends. I say he and I because some of the controls are too stiff for him to work. Specifically, there's thumb-wheels that you spin to select arms, leg unit, and head after you manually insert the body part. One of the thumb-wheels is difficult for even me to work and, after finally getting it to turn, jerks the whole unit so hard some/all of the parts come loose and fly out of the unit. Also, to make the whole thing work, there's a dial/button you first turn until the parts are together and the lights lite up then push down to pop the assembled Ben10 character off. About 3/4 of the time, my grandson can't turn this or push it down and, when I do it, the aforementioned disaster happens. Not that I mind playing with my grandson but he plays with it by himself between weekends but ends up just assembling/disassembling the characters without the machine. After several weeks, we've had no breakage. He's now become bored with the toy but additional 2-packs of Ben10 characters ($15.00--yikes!) rekindle (no pun intended) his interest.

My son got this and it is pretty cool! he is 6. My 11 yo actually likes it a little better tho I think. seems a little difficult for my 6yo to grasp how he needs to set it up w/out breaking the little parts. and they ARE LITTLE PARTS. chamber comes w/ extra white clip for the torso part. nothing broke on ours yet. we will be extra careful based on its reviews from others tho.my son actually got ALL the extra kits/2-pack sets that go with this and the bottom of the chamber is not large enough to hold more than 6 or 8 guy parts unless you mix them all up together. they should have made the storage area deeper so all can be stored in it. we have a tupperware container full too. the top of the chamber doesn't lock on top for storing it so keeps falling off if he bumps it in his room, etc.he seems to enjoy playing w/ it and he and my older son like to make up what powers the mixed up aliens will have. sometimes they put them together w/out the chamber.

very good
