Gift: Armouron
Aimed At: Boys aged 4+ (girls are a maybe!)
When I was a kid, ‘Power Rangers’ outfits made from creatively shaped cardboard boxes were very cool. Kids these days don’t have to be half as arts-and-crafty to be a super powered automaton. No, they just need some kit from Cod Steaks to become Armouron.
Armouron are basically plastic armour sets of body plate, helmet and shield. The twist is that each is fully customisable into your own unique costume through additional clip on Snapperons. These include wings, flames, spikes and visors and mean that you’re never going to have to worry that your best mate has turned up to the battle looking exactly the same as you (unless you’re going for the twin look anyway). There’re also weapons such as the Long Sword too.
Base pieces come in red or blue, with additions in gold and silver. Your kids could even be kept entertained boxing day by painting their own logos onto the lightweight plastic. As Toy of the Year in France, Armouron Action Sets look set to be a big winner this Christmas – plus Random House Children’s books have announced they will be publishing a series of tie-in novels too.
