Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber

Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber

If you have a young boy who is into either Ben 10, action figures or building (we’re pretty sure that makes up a relatively large group), then chances are that this cool Alien Creation Chamber is going to be a big hit with that little guy. The unique design and colors are immediately appealing while the opportunity for replay and reuse makes this more than fun, it’s also a great value. Action figures are created by mixing and matching different body parts in the chamber. The toy comes with 4 figures that come apart easily with the included ‘key.’ Body parts (arms, legs, head, torso) are placed in different components of the chamber and with the twisting of a dial a new figure is created and launched. The launch is really cool. Along with providing hours of entertainment and giggles, this product fosters creativity, a touch of strategic thinking (when it comes to not creating the same figure twice), and a healthy dose of fine motor skill development. The chamber proved to be quite durable, surviving two months of testing and escaping relatively unscathed after several drops. Finally, this toy has quite a few small pieces. Parents liked that the whole unit is a storage component to minimize the loss of parts, they also warned that if you have a little one creeping around the house, this could be a danger.

HOW IT WORKS

 

A Seal of Approval review involves a multi-step process conducted over an eight-week period.

Parents and children, experience and review submitted products and services either already released or coming to market.

Participants fill out questionnaires for each product or service they test. They score based on 13 levels of criteria including quality, appeal, design, price, packaging, directions, desirability, stimulation, replay factor, and more. Results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received by testers.

There are three testing periods each year:

Report Period Testing Begins Submission Deadline Testing Ends Report Issued
SPRING ’24 February 15th March 13th April 19th May 8th
FALL ’24 June 1st June 24th July 31st August 15th
HOLIDAY ’24 September 1st September 24th October 31st November 15th

Each submission must be accompanied by a $295 product testing fee (we offer multiple submission discounts). This fee covers the cost of testing, nothing more. It is non-refundable and has no bearing on the result of the testing. Additionally, we require three samples of the product or access codes for online submissions.

FYI about the Seal of Approval

* The Seal’s winners will be announced in a media release distributed to over 4,700 media outlets, including Facebook, Mommy bloggers, TV stations, newspapers, and parenting influencers.

* The report is forwarded to buyers at over 350 major retail and online stores including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Amazon features Seal winners on product pages.

* Each report is featured on TNPC’s website as well as TNPC’s Twitter & Instagram accounts and Facebook Page.

* Links to company websites and a license to utilize the trademarked Seal of Approval artwork on marketing, packaging and web design are available exclusively to Seal winners for additional fees.

* Submitting a product does not secure or guarantee being awarded a Seal of Approval
