Review: Imperial Toys

March 27, 2012 by Karen

Share

Imperial Toy LLC was founded in1969,  It is the worldwide leader in sales and manufacturing of bubbles and novelty toys.  There brands include: Super Miracle Bubbles, Miracle Bubbles, Buddy-L, Legends of the Wild West, Cap Cars, Googly, Optrix, and Runway Pink.  Imperial distributes products in over 50 countries worldwide.  


Recently, I had the opportunity to review Super Miracle Bubbles Bubble Turbine, Kaos Tie-Not, Kaos Cyclops, and Super Miracle Hi-Beam Illuminator with Glow Bubble Solution.


Super Miracle Bubbles Bubble Turbine

Item# 21185
MSRP: $12.99
Ages Over 3
Wow! Look at those humongous bubbles! The new Super Miracle Bubbles Bubble Turbine is guaranteed to provide kids and adults with the seamless ability to create humongous bubbles and a variety of spectacular bubble tricks. Includes Instructional Booklet and Super Miracle Bubbles Premium Plus Solution in 100% recyclable bottle.



 The Bubble Turbine comes with two interchangeable bubble wands.  You can create large bubbles or many small bubbles.  It is a battery operated bubble machine (takes 2 AA batteries that are not included), but does come with a bottle of solution.

Simply place some of the solution into the tray that is provided and dip to coat the entire wand.

Point upwards and press the button on the handle.  The fan will blow and create bubbles.

The Bubble Turbine was a lot of fun.  We preferred the small bubbles versus the stream just because it created many bubbles for the younger siblings to chase after in the yard.  The wands were simple to change out.






Kaos Tie-Not

Item# 23134
MSRP: $3.99
Ages Over 8
Tying Made Easy! The KAOS Tie-Not™ is an essential bonus tool that makes tying and filling water balloons easy! Simply assemble the Tie-Not filler and the Tie Not tool together as one convenient mechanism. Attach the Tie-Not to a garden hose and slide on the balloon. Fill with water and detach balloon by sliding the end through the slot. Quickly pull bottom off the Tie-Not tool and you are ready to rock your water balloon fight! KAOS Tie Not includes 50 biodegradable water balloons.
Unfortunately, Minnesota has been back to normal temps for March and has put us in the 40’s outside.  With these temps, I did not launch a water balloon fight with my family.  My spouse and I tried the knot tying ability of the Kaos Tie-Not while inside the house.  We were surprised how it did indeed work to easily create a knot and tie water balloons.





We tried air in the balloons since we were indoors and did not have access then to a water hose.  The balloon is placed on Tie-Not filler.


















Wrap balloon around Tie-Not tool once and slide end through the slot.  

 Gently pull balloon off Tie-Not tool and…

A quick and easy knot!


Kaos Cyclops


Item# 23132

MSRP: $9.99
Ages Over 8

KAOS Cyclops is a dynamic one-handed water balloon launcher that reinvents the traditional water balloon fight by taking it to a whole new dynamic level of “getting soaked”! Kids and adults can kick-up the level of insanity with an extreme water balloon fight! Each KAOS Cyclops launcher is designed to comfortably launch water balloons up to 100 ft with a simple flick of the wrist. KAOS Cyclops has a large scoop top for quick reloads and comes with 50 biodegradable KAOS water Balloons. Perfect for birthday parties, summer family gatherings and serious wet Summer Fun for all ages!


Unfortunately, another toy we could not play with outside due to the weather.  The Cyclops does a great job hugging the water balloon so I am expecting with a good throw, quite a great distance can be achieved.  I can’t wait to try the Cyclops outside when temps climb again.




Super Miracle Bubbles Glow Fusion Hi-Beam Illumniator with Glow Fusion Bubble Solution (1 extra Glow Fusion Bubble Solution included with review products) 
Item# 21115
MSRP: $14.99
Ages Over 8
Kids and adults will have hours of awesome outdoor night time fun with the Hi-Beam Illuminator bubble blaster. The Hi-Beam Illuminator is powered by the new Glow Fusion Bubble Solution coupled with special formulated Infusion Activators (A & B) that are carefully constructed to outrageously light up your outdoor play with a fantastic orange glow! Simply mix the solution and activators for 30 seconds but do not shake. Attach and secure bubble solution into the opening underneath the Hi-Beam Illuminator. Compress and hold trigger as glow fusion bubble solution glides through the Hi-Beam Illuminator and creates tons of continuous bubbles! Great for livening up any nighttime outdoor activity! Domestic Only.


My children started off with some daytime fun by just pulling the trigger on the Hi-Beam Illuminator.  The Illuminator requires 4 AAA batteries that are not included.  It does come with two packs of glow in the dark solution.

 Now onto the glow in the dark fun.  The kit comes with two sets of Glow Fusion Bubble Solution and an Activator A and an Activator B.

 You add all of Activator A to the bubble solution and then add all of Activator B to the same bottle.  There is a plastic wand that is included to gently stir the solution, which is recommended to do for one minute.  Do Not Shake!  The solution does thicken.


We then took our solution out on the deck to try out in the Hi-Beam Illuminator.  You want to use in a completely dark outdoor area.  You can also use the plastic wand to blow glowing bubbles.  I tried this and didn’t notice much of a glow to the bubbles.

 Here is the glowing solution before being screwed into the Hi-Beam Illuminator.

 The Hi-Beam Illuminator took a while to become primed and to then produce bubbles, but the blue light did a great job creating bubbles that were unique and fun to watch.  The children had fun playing with them.

 Here is my oldest trying to catch bubbles.

She is five and really enjoyed the night scene from the glowing bubbles.

This picture doesn’t do it justice, but when the solution lands on your skin or clothing, it reminds me of how Giselle was portrayed in the movie “Enchanted”.  This would be near the beginning when she goes from being a cartoon character and becomes human with these little magical dots that appear on her skin and clothing.  


I will be washing the clothes tomorrow and check to make sure the solution comes out.  We wore old pajamas tonight, just in case the solution does not come out of everything.  The Glow Fusion Bubble Solution is labeled as safe and non-toxic.  It did come off the skin easily with soap and warm water.  


The bubbles will only glow for the first 20 minutes after they have been mixed together with the Glow Fusion.  The instructions do warn that Glow Fusion Solution may damage plastic surfaces and plastic objects.  Immediately remove Glow Fusion Solution with a damp towel if exposed to any type of plastic.  


I think the Hi-Beam Illuminator and Glow Fusion Solution create a fun, unique experience.  I could see this being great for sleepovers or for camping.

3/28/12 update:  The Glow Fusion is still able to create a glow when stirred now 24 hours after it was mixed and the orange spots that were visible in the clothing yet this morning came out perfectly.  🙂
