AD – SuperThings Rivals of Kaboom gifted for review
My girls absolutely love blind bags, unboxing and surprise reveal toys. There is something so inherently appealing to them about the anticipation and excitement of discovering what’s hiding inside the bags. They love ticking off collectors’ sheets, searching for rare or ultra rare editions and of course, trading them with their friends.
Previously known as SuperZings, we were recently lucky enough to test out some of the NEW SuperThings – Rescue Force collectables, the latest series of fun collectable toys with sustainable packaging. If you haven’t heard of them yet – read on to learn more and for your chance to win!
What are SuperThings Rivals of Kaboom?
SuperThings are super cute collectible characters made from rubber that measure approximately 1 inch tall.
Every SuperThings Hero has an opposite SuperThings villain and they live in Kaboom City. There are over 80+ characters to collect in each series, so children will love ripping open blind bags to see who they have hidden inside and trying to collect them all.
We were sent a massive bundle of new SuperThings Rescue Force Series 10 collectables to review including a Starter Pack, 10-pack including the gold leader, six pack including a silver captain, a Rescue Jet and Jump Wing, three individual SuperJets, one Kazoom Kid figure and some of the pocket money friendly single blind bags. You can see a full unboxing and the contents of what we had inside over on Insta with our reel below.
REEL
What can you find in SuperThings Rescue Force Series 10?
The Rescue Force collection is out now at The Entertainer, Amazon and local Tescos, ASDAs and Coop
Series 10 of SuperThings Rescue Force has over 80 new superheroes and villains to collect including two rare gold Superleaders figures, rare silver Captains, and for the first time ever, two ULTRA RARE SuperThings; hero Emperorder and villain Moonarchaos. The villains have yellow coloured eyes, whereas the heroes have a slightly less sinister white.
In Series 10, there are also 6 NEW Kazoom Kids (larger-sized characters) and 12 NEW Rescue Jets (move along vehciles) to collect.
SuperThings Rivals of Kaboom Starter Pack
If you’re buying SuperThings Rescue Force for the very first tmie, the SuperThings Starter Pack is a great place to start. The girls loved ripping open the bag to reveal the magazine and 24 page comic guide – featuring loads of information about the SuperThings heros and villains. In the starter pack you also get 2 SuperThing chracters (one of them with chrome effect) and 1 metallic Rescue Jet (the design of which is exclusive to the Starter Pack!)
SuperThings 10 pack
If your kids become SuperThings packs and want to grow their collection quickly, the 10 pack of SuperThings contains ten different SuperThings, one of which is guaranteed to be a gold-coloured figure. Each 10 pack is numbered (there is a choice of two) so you can get both gold characters whilst avoiding too many duplicates.
RescueForce Jets
These mini vehicles have two pieces that slot together with wings that ‘pop out’ when pressed. The larger Kazoom kids can clip on to stand on the rescue jets, whilst the smaller SuperThings can be pressed on using the hole to the rear.
Kazoom Kids
Whilst the girls loved the cute size of the SuperThings, we also loved the larger play characters – Kazoom Kids, the gurdians for the SuperThings. There are 6 to collect and each one comes with an accessory and compatable SuperThing. They clip on to the RescueJets, so can easily be pushed around and played with too. We got Star Lock the police officer.
What we loved about SuperThings Rivals of Kaboom
Unlike some collectable toys where the novelty is all about the unboxing, Neve has genuinely enjoyed playing with the SuperThings long after the packaging has been packed away, acting out little scenes and clipping on and off the vehicles.
As a parent, I love the more sustainable packaging – unlike single-use plastic which is obviously a huge concern and puts me off purchasing, the SuperThings range is made with cardboard and paper bags and boxes which are recyclable and as such a bit more guilt-free! The bags were also far easier for Neve to open without assistance too.
With single blind bags costing just 80p, they’re affordable and pocket money friendly, as well as making a great option for party bag fillers and pass the parcels too.
