Sunny Days Entertainment Galactic Photon Blaster – Pretend Play Toy for Kids with Lights and Sounds – Maxx Action (10615)

Grandson loved

I really, really enjoy this blaster. I have a collection of fake and or prop guns and I really like the chunky look of this model. The lights are bright, the model is colorful. It has many different noises and I could modify it any number of ways. In reality, I like to think this is the gun that would be used by a kid going out into the woods to go play martians with his friends, only to see something spooky out in the woods, something that looked like a deer, then he flashes the almost-flashlight grade blue light at it to catch 3 pale eyes, horns on its head and it buckles off into the woods with a deafening sound of guttural confusion. I like to think, in this little thought process of mine, that after he's done playing with his friends, he comes home. He finds his house completely abandoned. He finds the windows dimmed. He finds the emptiness of a house close to the woods. He's really scared. That deep kind of scared where you want to cry out for your mom so you hope to god something else doesn't hear you. He stifles a whimper, he hears a noise inside. It was dark when he got home and the reason he was never called out into by his folks is because something took them. He steps forward, frightened beyond compare. Oh god he's terrified but boy, oh boy, does he believe in that toy gun. He opens the door to the kitchen. He steps inside to the same kind of hollow empty and then- Gotcha. No. It's a surprise party. His friends were keeping him busy all day so they could get it ready. That's the happy thing about props, about toys, about fantasy. You can do whatever you want. Not every story has to be a jump-scare-filled nightmare. That is what this blaster reminds me of. Toy, tin, old fashioned blasters with the glitterspark boxes that would whine as you pulled the trigger. The only reason it isn't getting 5 stars is because the secondary, spinning lights behind the barrel crapped out not long after I used it for a bit. Science Fiction game and all that. Really good blaster, entirely recommended for projects, prop work & just plain fun.

My son bought this as his “Ghost Buster” gun. Our two year old has now taken it over and she loves it. She walks all over the house banging it on everything and it hasn’t broke. Definitely a good gun for a toddler. The colors and noise are perfect. They aren’t super loud but it’s just loud enough to keep the kids interested.

My son really loved this gun. It made sounds like a space gun and would light up. With that being said, it only worked for about a month. We tried putting new batteries in it and that didn't work. It was fun while it lasted.

This photon blaster was a great deal and a huge hit with my son! Perfect gift for the child who loves space/adventure playtime!

Product was dead on arrival, which didn't bother me much. I bought fresh batteries just for this toy. However, after this gift had been given this Christmas eve, it didn't work even after replacing the batteries... twice. I tried two separate sets of batteries in this toy but, nothing. No flashing lights. No sounds. Nothing. I returned the item, however, I'm a bit dissapointed because, this is the only toy I gave my boy for Christmas. This means, he got nothing. I'd love to see an American toymaker with solid quality control again. While Christmas truly isn't about stuff and I don't make it about stuff, it is about friends and now, he can't play with his family friends. I don't get a lot of stuff, but the toys I do get are for a good reason. I think playing with friends is a good reason. You don't have to have ten. You just have to have one... if it works. I suppose that's what we've all come to expect with even our beloved toys being made elsewhere. Disappointing, to say the least.

I bought this and gifted to my kid (Bought in USA and gifted in India) with so much anxiety he opened it, and it got fallen down accidentally... after that stopped working with lights and sounds.. he is so much disappointed. I feel like took a wrong call selecting this product. I can't even return now, as I had came to India.

I bought two of these. One for my son and one for my little brother (they are a year apart) and they wouldn't stop playing with them all through Christmas! I like that they hold up well with a 6 and 7 year old, but I also love the fact that there were no darts I had to clean up after they'd stopped playing with them.

Good toy for kids (or kids at heart). Lights, loud sounds and overall fun.
