Hotel Transylvania toys range (review)


Hands up if you recognise these guys ! Yep, you've got it, it's the characters from the Hotel Transylvania movies. On the left, the good old Count Dracula himself, then his daughter Mavis, her totally human husband Johnny, and their son, Dennis.


They all came in this Hotel Transylvania Drac's Pack box, featuring all of the main characters from the films. They are all fully bendable and can be used for acting out all sorts of stories based on or inspired by the movies (or maybe you prefer the TV series?).


Along with this pack, we also received the Scream Cheese Cafe to play with. It features another doll of Mavis to play with, along with the backdrop of a little cafe.


The packaging gaily informs you that there are 11 pieces included and, once you start unpacking, you can see how it all fits together. There's a table with two chairs, a funky door, a little till area and a tea trolley.

 

There is also a little key for you to open the cash register and reveal a secret surprise - we got a cheeky little earwig or scorpion, with a funky, punky hairstyle on his head !


We love the set up and also the little Mavis doll, and we were particularly impressed to see how she can sit on the chairs, hold the key and really get involved with the other elements of the kit.


Pierre had great fun bringing all the characters together and making up stories for all them to get involved with. I seem to think he mentioned a mystery man who managed to create a magical Mavis clone, which explained why he had two of them !


We also got some Hotel Transylvania Monster Mayhem mystery trunks to open up. Each one comes with a monster, a trunk, a collector's guide and a key, but each key can be used to unlock all of them, so don't panic if you lose some !


Here are some of the contents of our Monster Mayhem trunks. Lots more things to be added to the playsets and help inspire more fun stories !

It's a great range for any fan of the Hotel Transylvania movies.



Disclosure : We received the products in order to write an honest review.

  2. These look like so much fun. My 6 year old loves the HT films, and especially Mavis so I think she'd love these.
