Mattel Disney PLANES Fire & Rescue: Oversized Blade Ranger with Baskets
A large oversized Blade Ranger for younger kids …
“With his special hook he helps his fellow smokejumpers Blackout, Avalanche and Drip escape from danger. Press the button on Blade Ranger’s side to spin his rotors and release his rescue hook down towards the ground. Then, position the hook so that it latches onto a smokejumpers capsule. Pull each vehicle up one at a time and out of harms way. You just helped save the day! Following a successful mission, boys will feel fearless and triumphant – just like their heroes from the movie!”
That last bit seems to be a bit of an overpromise but hey, it’s made from plastic polymers! 🙂
Ahem. “Following a successful mission, boys will feel fearless and triumphant – just like their heroes from the movie!”
And what about the girls who might want to play with it? “Following a successful mission, girls will feel undervalued and marginalized – just like their female heroes in real life!”
Uh, how hard would it have been to substitute the word ‘boys’ for ‘kids’? I mean, kudos to the copywriter for reaching for that gold star for grandiose overstatements regarding the joy factor on this particular toy but GET A BRAIN, Matty: Don’t be such a chauvinist.
