TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
Transformers: Dark of the Moon doesn't hit theaters until July 1, 2011, but fans can already get involved with the new versions of these classic characters with the first wave of toys based on the film. Starting May 16, Hasbro is releasing a line of action figures, vehicles, and roleplay toys that are all, like the Transformers themselves, "more than meets the eye."
Cyberverse Starscream Orbital Assault is an action figure and battle vehicle playset. Featuring the Decepticon Starscream, kids can transform both the action figure and the battle vehicle. Starscream easily transforms from Decepticon to airplane. The battle vehicle transforms from assault craft mode to battle station mode to space cruiser mode. The packaging converts into an action play scene.
Why It’s Fun
There's a lot of transforming action happening with this playset. From the Starscream action figure to the 3-in-1 battle vehicle and even the packaging, this playset is filled with open-ended narrative play opportunities.
Who It’s For
Starscream Orbital Assault is for ages 5 and up. Fans of the Transformers movies will like this advance look into the new movie.
What to Be Aware of
This playset is level one on the difficulty scale, meaning it is easy for kids to transform the action figure and vehicle. The playset comes with instructions, but those are really more of a guide to jumpstart creative thinking, which is an integral part of the play. Kids will need to use problem-solving skills and get creative to figure out how to transform the pieces.
