Are these toys or can they work practically?

They ARE toys, but they work. We use them to communicate directions while backing up our RV.

I use them at work. I modified them by attaching a good set of earphones to it and removing the one which is part of the set. These are the usual earphones you would plug into your cellphone. This was done buy disassembling each one to do the headset change. With this change it works well. The spy gear you buy is sized for up to maybe 12 year old's so I have to wear it so the one mic picks up for speech.

They work but I would definitely classify these as toys. We had a lot of fun with them!

We used them on a 15 mile bike ride. With a 5 year old and an adult they worked great

They are toys but operate like the real a lot easier then getting my son to remember when to push the button to talk on a walkie. The only thing that is a little odd is it goes around the back of your neck can be a little uncomfortable.

They would probably need some help as the magnets are a little hard to pull apart of the blocks are on top of each other. But if you play too, they probably would like them, especially knocking them down. And if you make a box, they can put a little toy inside and they can see it.

I got them for my son as toys and you can play with them. However IMO they are more collectibles than toys. The joints move and hold their weapons ok, but if I compare them to other action figures my kids have they are more towards the collectible side. (The stand them up with weapons on display (Aqua Man most of all). I hope this answers your Q.

That's an interesting question. I got them for my grandsons and they are really still too young to learn the jist of the toy. And my son played with it for a while but quickly hit the end of his 32-year-old attention span. I'll be watching to see if you get a good answer to this question though. Best of luck.

I would say yes. Keep in mind it won't keep them riveted for hours, they are only simple wind up cars... but they will probably be entertained for a few minutes at a time. If I start the game by firing them across the kitchen floor my 3 and 6 yr olds will play every time

They don't "work". The cats just bat them around like any other very small toy. Some of the cats like them, others don't. Sorry not to be more helpful.

Yes, I would say so. We gave these to our grandsons who are interested in constructing and figuring out how things work. This is an excellent toy to learn about electricity and there are a lot of projects to experiment with. Hope this helps.

Not real ones, but they have a molded handle in the correct spot, so you can pretend pull. Despite the comment below regarding breaking on the first day, our grandson has enjoyed these toys EVERY DAY since February, and has great fun cutting twigs (I break them) for the firepit and trimming all the lawns in the neighborhood. All toys still going strong.

No. They are not that strong and that's for a reason. This is for small kids to play. If it were that strong, they would have a tough time getting them apart and putting them together.

I would say yes. I bought them for my son as his four year birthday present. Once you show them how to maneuver the buttons they are a hit!

Yes. They are not a choking hazard (at least I cannot imagine it being but 1 year olds are very creative), plus they are great for fine motor skill development. My 3 year old really enjoys them. I don't know if a 1 year old would appreciate the suction abilities but I think its a good toy that will be around for at least another 2 or 3 years in the child's life. They are durable and washable. Its a great toy.

Depends on the child. If they still put things in their mouth I would say no. Our grandson, if I remember correctly, started really playing with them around 4 1/2.
1405916
Yes. Most still work easily ; however, the particularly large/thick ones are a little bit of a squeeze.
1089929
Yes, They should work. They are my favorite, but I haven't used it that way in a while.

I haven't tested Squigz wet, but I would imagine they would work. I don't think your son is too old. Even as an adult, I find them enjoyable to fidget with. My son, who is almost 5, likes to make them into shapes he pretends are spaceships or whatever. But we use ours as a car toy for long trips, so they are a novelty whenever I bring them out. They don't get play on a regular basis.

I do think so. The toys are not soft, I mean, you can´t squeeze them, but you can use them in the tub, yes.

YES!! I think it depends on the child both my 18 month old and 4 year old play with these.. I think its a toy that grows with the child. Even if he didnt enjoy it now you can bring it out a few months later and im sure he'll LOVE IT
