KND is an animated show about five extraordinary 10-year-olds,
dedicated to freeing all children from the tyrannical rule
of adults and have formed a covert team called the Kids Next
Door. To mask their identities, they have taken numbers instead
of names. Led by Numbuh One from the fortress of their treehouse
headquarters, the KND team has vowed to knock down
anyone who gets in the way of their stated mission. KND
invites kids to join a secret club empowering them to solve
missions using technology and teamwork, while fighting for
kids' rights...
The
R.O.A.D.S.T.A.R. (Really Old Auto Dislodges Surfboards To
Aerially Rock) is the ultimate spy gadget: a car that converts
into a plane. It includes a 2.5" figure (Numbuh One with samurai
gear) and some awesome accessories, cool sound effects and
concealed wings.
I
might not be the best person to review this toy as I've never
actually seen an episode of KND. In fact, I was totally
unaware of its existence until this toy was hurled at me by
our strict reviews editor. However, once I'd checked this
toy over professionally [Pushed it up and down his desk making
"Brum! Brum!" noises - Reviews Ed] I quickly made
sure that I watched the show.
Not
only is this toy manufactured to an exceptionally high standard
(well, this is F.E.V.A, what did you expect?), but it's also
incredibly clever in it's construction. All of the weapons
and vehicles in this range are made to look as though they
have been created by kids from common household objects -
a bit like a junior
A-Team, if you like.
The
R.O.A.D.S.T.A.R. comes complete with a heap of weapons (including
projectiles that can be launched from the spring loaded cannon,
and a selection of handheld guns which can also be fitted
onto the car), retractable wings, engine and jet sound effects,
a light up jet, and a hidden mystery projectile.
The
detail is amazing, even down to the car's steering wheel -
which simply turns over to produce a yoke flight stick. And
any of the other 2.5" action figures in this range can
also be used with this car (there is even a spare seat for
a gunner).
Whether
you've seen KND or not, you can't argue with the fact
that this is a beautifully produced quality toy.
