PLAYMOBIL Space Shuttle - Review and Giveaway

I received product for review from Playmobil.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services.  Your opinions and results may differ.

Earlier this month, astronaut Scott Kelly returned to earth after a year in space.  With Kelly's return to Earth, children will be more excited than ever to explore the wonders of the universe. Kids can now discover the realm of imaginative play outside earth and into space, with PLAYMOBIL's Space Mission theme set.

PLAYMOBIL, one of the top toy manufacturers in the world, remains at the forefront of creative play with a continued mission to inspire children to explore the depths of their imaginations. The highly detailed Space Mission toy set provides kids with the essential tools to explore their imaginations; they can choose to travel to another planet, fight off aliens, or fulfill a space mission from within the shuttle.

pieces for Space Shuttle set

 

The Space Mission theme set comes fully equipped with space rocket with launch site, detachable space shuttle, and satellite with asteroid laser; all you need to feel like you’re in space exploring another universe! Whether a child has been a fan of space for a while or is just starting to explore the wonders of the universe, PLAYMOBIL's Space Mission set is the perfect way to get kids excited about space and help them learn while having fun.

Of the Space Mission theme set, I received the Space Shuttle.  Some of it was already assembled, while other pieces had to be put together.  Instructions are included, but none are written in English.  There are step-by-step pictures that show what goes where.  I was able to put most of it together myself, but did require the help of my husband on some of it.

The PLAYMOBIL Space Shuttle comes with two astronauts whose helmets and arm pieces can be removed.  The astronauts have movable joints.  The space shuttle itself opens both at the top and the front.  There's seats in two areas for the astronauts to sit.  There are wheels on the underside, which can be folded down or used to wheel the shuttle around.

 

There is a space harness that attaches to the shuttle.  With it, you can either attach one of the astronauts so it looks like they are suspended from space or you can keep the laser cannon on it.  The cannon has two small, red lasers that deploy.

One of the best features about the Space Shuttle is that it lights up.  There are functioning lights on the back that operate with 3 AAA batteries.  The batteries are not included with the set. 

 

The PLAYMOBILE Space Shuttle provides lots of creative, imaginative play.   Although the Space Shuttle works with other pieces in the Space Mission theme set, it is not required to have them all in order for one or the other to work.  My nieces and nephews that come over to visit enjoy pretending and playing with this toy.
