Is this action figure suitable for a young boy (2 years and half)?

I wouldn't describe it as a toy and besides, it's pretty expensive. I hesitated a lot before buying it, and only gave in because my youngest (4 years old) copies his big brother in everything and I didn't want him feeling left out. It was a pleasant surprise for me that, after several months of play, Superman is still in one piece.So I'm inclined to say that probably a 2.5-year-old could play with it too, but not if the child still puts things in his mouth. In that case i'd suggest putting it off for a little while or writing to the company to inquire about the chemical composition of the model and its paint. Hope this helped.

For all those people asking if these figures are suited for children. Have you noticed the section in which these figures are sold here in amazon? It says: "grown-up toys".

These are figures for adult collectors. Not toys. If you want to give similar figures get the Mattel ones. Those are meant to both audiences: adults and kids. But these DC Collectibles are not. That´s why they´re collectibles. And you´re lucky this figure can be found at this price (that´s not cheap either). However, the original price was $26.00. That should tell you it´s an adult collector´s figure; in fact, I believe it says so in the box. Plus, if that´s not enough for you check other ones that are sold for over $30 or even $40. That should make you decision.

Sure, pretty durable. As long as he : she doesn't rip it off apart, it's a great toy!

It is not. But I'm sure he will be ok until he is tall enought. I got it for my 2 year old and she was little but used it no problem.

Not at all. I'd recommend the fisher price style for the 2yr old though. I bought this style for 6 yr old

As an adult collector or a young fellow from 4 and up it would be great. I may be ok for a 3 yr old if he doesnt chew off the head or hands. He should be alright but be aware that the head is on a ball joint. Main concern is that he would break or damage the toys. My son, before he was 4 and 5 years old, went through many figures before he stopped snapping legs and arms. I suggest buying them up before they are gone and keeping them tucked away untilyou young one is 4 or 5. Then they will be enjoyed much more. Hope this helps.

Yes my son is two and a half years old and operated it just fine. The only bad thing is the toy only worked for five minutes and then it just stopped working.

It's not a toy. But my 4 year old daughter enjoy singing with it. But no, it's not a toy. I think for a 2 year old is better to look up for something themed with some cartoon character, but that's my opinion :)

in my opinion, he may be a little big for it. I usually give it as a 1st bday gift, although 1 1/2-2 appears to be the best age for it. I am not sure of the height from the ground b/c I give it as gifts. That being said, I have seen it used up to the age of 4, just depends how tall and flexible the kids are

Probably 8-9 years and up: there are some small parts that a young child might get in trouble with. My son is autistic and functions as a ten year old. It was fine for him and he loves and collects these figures. Hope this helps!

The action figure from this particular set was definitely larger than 2 inches. He was at least 4 inches tall. Hope that helps.

Hi this is a great toy and for sure son will love this toy. No your son is not too young to play this toy its just right for him i think. Hope this help.

Like almost any toy for a 2 year old, he will need your help. We started with this at 2, and at 2-1/2 he is doing it himself with no problems. He loves it!

Yes! It's great for a girl or a boy. Unfortunately the figure is a boy -- it would have been nicer if there was a boy and a girl figure.

I would not consider it a toy and think that it would not be appropriate for a 2 year old. I would recommend an age range of at least 5 and up. I actually bought one for myself.

I have bought it for my son's 2nd birthday and he had - and still has at almost 3 years of age - a blast. I think it is safe and a good toy for even 18-month old.

I would think so. We bought it for a 2 year old's birthday and he loved it. Still does!

This figure is worth the money. Keep in mind that S H Monster Arts toys are adult toys therefore if he is young understand that he will probably loose parts. A teenager should be fine.

I think it will be too easy for him. The suggested age is 8-12. How about try some searches from amazon Toys & Games by age "14 & up" and also your preferred brand.
