If you have any Star Wars fans in your home, this toy review is for you. A brand new toy is available, taking the retro fun of stretch toys and combining it with the legacy of George Lucas’ greatest creation. All your favourite characters come to life in stretch form and they are perfect gifts for this Christmas. I’ve joined the DadSquad and this is my Stretch Star Wars review.
What Is Stretch Star Wars?
Remember the feeling you had as a youngster when you got to play with stretch toys? It made me laugh when the flexible little action hero was featured in the Ben Stiller film The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. Now, our modern kids have got a range of characters they know and love from the world of Star Wars, all with stretchy powers.
What Characters Are Available?
You and your kids will be able to find a bunch of those Star Wars characters that you watch in the films and on TV shows. You’ll meet Darth Vadar, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt, C-3PO and plenty of Stormtroopers! This is the first time that these iconic Star Wars characters have made their way into Stretch forms, so it’s really exciting! Whether you stretch the good guys or the bad guys, you’ll have plenty of fun!
Key Features
All the characters look absolutely how you expect them to. The details are fantastic and your favourites come off the screens, straight into your living room. You can take out those years of pumped-up frustration with Darth Vader, tying him in knots and stretching him every which way possible. Team up with a friend to stretch Jabba The Hutt or form your own Resistance with your siblings to tie those Stormtroopers together. When playtime has finished, the Star Wars figures will slowly return to their normal size and shape. These are also fantastic for your work-at-home desk. When things get a little bit chaotic on the work email thread, give your Boba Fett a quick stretch to relieve some stress before you reply.
Where Can You Buy Stretch Star Wars?
You can buy the Stretch Star Wars range from Smyths Toys. Order online or shop in-store. Visiting one of the toy superstores could be risky as your kids will see all the bright and colourful toys stacked high throughout the aisles. However, it will also allow them to see the stretchable figures for themselves and pick the one they really want. If you shop online, free delivery is available when you spend over £20. Be sure to click through a cashback site when you shop online too.
If you loved the original films, have sat through a marathon including the modern movies or have started watching the likes of The Mandalorian and Andor with your kids, you’re going to love the Stretch Star Wars range. Whether you buy them to collect, or as a gift for your children, the whole family will love these characters. My favourite has got to be C-3PO. Which one is yours?
