Mighty Beanz Series 2
My mother was manipulated into buying these for the kids on a store trip with my 3yo. I rolled my eyes, and thought to myself “Great, more small pieces for them to lose.” Of course as soon as I read the pamphlet and started seeing that some beanz were worth more than others, they’re collectible/tradeable and some were just plain cute, I was addicted. Having 4 children, we ended up with 24 beanz. There were only 2 repeats in the whole bunch, which impressed me, since they were bought from the same batch. We got 2 of the rarest(but not the Mighty Moose). My mother in law says that many years ago, there were toys called Mexican Jumping Beans(not the ones with worms, actual toys) that her kids played with and these are supposedly very similiar.
These are basically little capsule shaped plastic pieces with some type of metal(?) ball inside that rolls from one end to the other allowing it to move. They have cartoonish pictures of people and animals. I’m not sure how they apply the pictures, but they can and DO scrape off with normal play. On the plus side, my youngest has used and abused the beanz, and they have yet to break.
I didn’t see how these Beanz were going to keep my childrens attention, as they don’t really do much, but it gives a list of games in the pamphlet, and they had fun trying them out. My 3yo is especially good at creating things to do with them. Unfortunately, my eye rolling b/c they are small and easily lost was justified. We are now down to 14 out of 24. Needless to say, my review is mixed. These are great for collecting, and fun for children of most ages, but I highly reccomend 6 and older(It reccomends 5 and up), and be prepared for some to be lost unless you have a very responsible child. Start collecting and have fun!

I saw these things on TV, and I thought, oh just another boy thing, but I was wrong!! These are the COOLEST toys on the market. You can practicly put them under a steam roller, and they won’t even dent! I HIGHLY recomend these toys!!!!

My 4 year old neice bought some beans with her own money and then got very upset that the slide/ramp that she saw on tv wasn’t in the package. I guess the adults with her should have checked but they probably didn’t know about it and when she opened the package she got very upset. We showed her that she can use anything to make a slide but I still feel badly that she was disappointed. I guess it’s a lesson we all have to learn sometime though…

This is a great collecters item for kids and grown ups. I really truly believe that this will become the next hot thing for toys. The best thing about these beans are the limited edition Mighty Moose beans, these beans are limited to 1000. With this hard to get item I see these being bought left and right just to get the elusive bean.

I think that there is no problem of the beans having breasts. As long as they have a shirt on, I think it’s Ok. It’s not like there nude or any thing. Women have breasts in real life to! Get over it!
