It's Business as Usual For the Toy Guyz

It seems another Summer has come and gone. We hope that everyone had a great time while the weather was warm because it looks like it could be cooling down a little very soon.

This is one of the Toy Guyz favorite times of the year . We are excited to order lots of new toys and re-stock on all of our past favorites as we gear up for the holiday season. September can be very busy for us behind-the-scenes here at Pure Imagination. Last week we had numerous meetings with toy reps in anticipation of a busy Fall season. We saw great new toys, games, puzzles and books we just had to have. Shipments have been coming in every single day of the week. It's really quite exciting to see Pure Imagination transform itself into something spectacular. This year we are hoping for the best holiday season ever! Despite the "doom and gloom" you hear about on the television, the Toy Guyz believe things will be fine this year. We are just going to treat each day as "Business As Usual". It's worked well for us so far...so wish us luck!

Don't forget to check out our website frequently. The Toy Guyz are also on Facebook, Twitter and the Toy Guyz Blog here. We will be posting lots of new toy reviews each week so you don't want to miss out!

Expect the unexpected from the Toy Guyz this season!

The Toy Guyz Review the Superhero Starter Kit by KLUTZ

The Superhero Starter Kit is not only one of our best sellers at Pure Imagination Toy Store but one of the best received products we carry. Parents and kids love this one! It's a pretty simple concept. The Superhero Starter Kit has all the basics needed to encourage active children to be their very own superheroes. It's a book that comes with a velcro-strapped, shiny Red Cape. It also provide masks, wrist shields and three pages of snazzy stickers so kids can accessorize their newly super selves. Plus you’ll be able to read up on many tips and tricks on how to be the best superhero ever. The Superhero Starter Kit sells for $14.95 and really packs a punch for the price!

The Toy Guyz give The Superhero Starter Kit 10 out of 10 star rating.

The Toy Guyz Review the 3-D Mirascope

The Toy Guyz are finally going to sit down and review one of our best-selling science toys. It's the 3-D Mirascope by the DaMert/Toysmith company and boy is it fun. Create holograms that seem to be completely real and solid. It's a simple little toy but very cool! Most customers, after discovering this one, will buy not one but two.

How does it work? The 3-D Mirascope consists of two parabolic mirrors that are facing each other. The top mirror has a hole in the center where the hologram effect takes place. By setting an object in the bottom parabolic mirror it suddenly is projected as a solid object in the opening of the top mirror. You won't believe your eyes. It looks like you can touch it but it's not there. The 3-D Mirascope set comes with mirascope and frog. The fun starts when you try to find other objects to place in the parabolic mirrors. The Toy Guyz like to put a penny in there so when the kids try to grab the penny their fingers go right through it. The 3-D Mirascope appeals to the kids as well as grown-ups and it's at great price! Only $5.95!

The Toy Guyz give the 3-D Mirascope a 10 out of 10 star rating.
