With the holiday season fast approaching, I really had no idea the volume of commercials aimed at getting their product on your kid’s wishlist until I was watching TV with my kids one afternoon over Thanksgiving. Knowing I had BOOMco products waiting for review, my eyebrow raised when I saw a BOOMco commercial on TV – chances are your kids may already be familiar with the products too. We opened our huge BOOMco product box last weekend while my 10 year old had his friend over, so we could investigate and review the products.
Parents, if you’re unfamiliar as I was, here’s the quick BOOMco cheat sheet:
Mattel brings new style and attitude to active play with BOOMco.™, a ground-breaking innovation in blaster technology. Only BOOMco.™ uses Smart Stick™, a cutting-edge dart and target system that’s paired with amped-up blasters to bring kids the ultimate in high-energy play.
Among our BOOMco products we received several Clip Fire Blasters (yes I’ve noted they don’t call them guns, which I appreciate) and the boys quickly set out on some target practice with the Smart Stick Target and Darts (yup, not “bullets”).
Then, it was time for all out war among the boys! We only had one BOOMCo Rapid Madness Blaster, so strategy had to come into play when determining how to out-run that!
We also employed the BOOMco sunglasses that came with the box of products for eye protection (the headbands just look good, duh.)
The boys had a ton of fun tearing around the yard with their BOOMco products. As a mom, I appreciated the darts that only stick to BOOMco targets, which is pretty cool. This way, while they can use the darts to knock over items on a deck fence, they also can’t use my living room windows as target practice. BOOMco supplied us with so much product, that we gave Elijah’s friend Theo some extra product to take home for his brothers. It turns out, Theo also does YouTube reviews and he did one for BOOMco as well! Check it out for a full BOOMco Blasters video review:
