Little boys like action figures-anyone with a son know this--but many of the action figures available are violence/war based. My 7 year old son does have a tub of army guys, I must confess, but in general I'm not a huge fan of toys that promote violence. I was so excited to stumble upon Kaskey Kids, a company that takes the idea of the action figure, and combines it with another boyhood love--sports!
Such an ingenious idea--Kaskey Kids sells tubs of sports guys that kids can set up on the included felt playing field (or plastic ice rink). You can choose from buckets of Football Guys, College Football Guys, Baseball Guys, Hockey Guys, Soccer Guys and Soccer Girls, and Mini-packs.
Since we live in Columbus, Ohio, home of the OSU Buckeyes (Go Bucks!), my son was thrilled to be able to review the OSU Buckeyes College Football Guys. He was SOOO excited to set them all up in various positions and formations, making up his own "game". When he had a friend over, they happily sat on his floor playing Football Guys. And my husband, still a boy at heart, was caught playing with them, too. :)
I was impressed with the size and quality of the figures-they are 2" high, very sturdy, and nicely detailed with the team colors and jersey numbers. I expected a small little playing field and was very surprised to find a 4 foot by 2 foot WASHABLE field! And of course, the set is complete with a referee and 2 goalposts.
These make such great gifts for any boy or girl (or husband!) who loves sports. The toys are unique, well-crafted and foster imaginative play. You can purchase the College Football Guys, or any of the other sports sets here.
