This must be a "Throw back Thursday" type of day because guess what I got in to check out for review? Pac-Man and Ghost Plush from Goldie International! I grew up with Pac-Man and I know it was around long before I was even thought of to be born so this is an "old school" toy and just seeing it brings back those good old childhood memories.

Ages: 8 & up.
MSRP: $12.99 each, available at Toys "R" Us and Walgreens.

My Thoughts
As I said, I was sent the Pac-Man and Ghost plush and our family loves them! I love them because of the memories of childhood; none in particular, just childhood memories in general. My husband and daughter on the other hand LOVE playing the game. My daughter is 5 and when she saw the plushies she said "I know how to play that! Emily showed me!!" Emily is a family cousin on my husband's side so it really excited her to see something familiar. Of course, what do these end up being used for in our house? War weapons! My husband and daughter like to rough house (never listen to the mom when I tell them not to - figures) and they like play fight including toy swords and even using stuffed animals as whatever weapon they claim them to be. Well since these pac-man toys have sounds, what better use for them then to make them a bomb or bullet of some sort in their fighting war?! Lovely. Seeing these being tossed around violently and of course the sound button pressed over and over again - I deem these high quality! They`re still holding up well without being split apart and the sound surprisingly still works. While my family plays roughly with these, I`m happy to see they are having fun and enjoying themselves. The plush animals are safe so they won`t hurt each other with them or any object in the house for that matter. I also found that these are made well and because they don`t have buttons or anything of that nature on them - all material, they`re safer to be around babies than other plush products I`ve seen. Of course I don`t recommend them around babies, but since we have baby on the mind with Jace being due in about a month I had to make mention of it. Overall we had a great experience with these and I definitely recommend them for all the Pac-man fans out there. They`re cute and from what I`ve seen pretty fun when you use your imagination! Talk about a great add on for Christmas gifts this year!
