Ben 10 Omnitrix F/X Reviews

• Great for Role Play -- Disappointing Customer Service

  
  By A35I0CSODIJH7 on 2006-12-26
  Santa brought these watches for our sons, ages 3 and 4, who love acting like they are changing into aliens and chasing "bad" guys. They were thrilled when they opened them, however, their glee turned to disappointment less than eight hours later when one of the watches stopped working. We replaced the battery this morning after the stores reopened, but that didn't help. The manufacturer, Bandai, was of no help. I've been asked to return the watch to their facility, and then in 4-6 weeks we will receive either a repaired watch, a replacement watch, or even the broken watch (if they don't have any in stock). How do you explain that to a four-year old who waited months to receive this watch?! And to make it worse, his brother's watch still works. The customer service rep was unfriendly and failed to try to help at all. Buyer beware!

  this is so cool. The watch is very accurate to the series except for the fact that it does not stay in a form for 10 minutes. Besides the minor setback this is a great. I highly recommend it.
  
  

• I had to get two!

  
  By A3LEFSGTP9RJW5 on 2007-08-16
  This is the best Ben 10 toy you could get for your little fan. We got one for my 4 year old for his birthday, and he wears it all the time. His 2 year old brother liked it so much we had to buy a second for him. It works just like the Omnitrix on the show, just be sure to flip the switch from "try me" to "on". I must admit it took me a week or so to figure that out. It is a little tricky, to get on tight, but I think that's because of how big the watch is, and we manage. It even stays on my 2 year old's wrist just fine. This watch gets worn all day and night and is great for pretend play.
  
  

• My Kid Loves It

  
  By A1E2S8WO1RKSSW on 2006-12-30
  Got this for my son for the holidays. He wears it all the time, even in his sleep. It beeps and makes other noises, but the wrist band is very large, doesn't close easily on a small wrist. That being said, it's a big winner. Whatever you do, don't pay a fortune for it. You can get it at Target for under $15.00.
  
  

• BECOME THE HERO WITH THE OMNITRIX F/X

  
  By A2JP0URFHXP6DO on 2007-02-25
  Without a doubt, one of the coolest toys in Bandai's Ben 10 line is the Omnitrix F/X wristband, an exact replica of the one that Ben wears on the hit Cartoon Network animated TV show. This wristband is adjustable and should fit all but the tiniest wrists without a problem. The toys is filled with various lights and sound effects that are taken direct from the TV show.
  
  On the dial is all 10 of the heroes that Ben can transform into. A green light inside illuminates the dial so you can see each of the figures. Turning it makes one sound effect. Keep turning the dial until you find the figure of your choice. Now press the dial all the way down to lock it into place and watch out...several green lights blink all over the wristband as the sounds blare and Ben, or your littler one, become Heatblast, Ghostfreak, Fourarms, or any of the other seven characters, and you're ready to battle the evil Vilgax.
  
  Once your ready to switch characters, just press the button, a red light will blink, and the dial will popup with yet another sound effect and you can now choose a different character on the dial. The lights will remain lit for a short time and eventually turn off by themselves, again with its own unique sound.
  
  The Ominitrx F/X was a very fun toy and fans of the show will love it.

• Not worth $40+
  By AWD0THMDOJED6 on 2006-12-13
  Retail price for this is around $16. This toy is worth that, not $40+.
  
  Please realize ths before purchasing for your kid.
  
  
• WAL-MART SELLS THIS FOR $14.88
  By A1SF39U5G1WQF1 on 2006-12-14
  I just purchased this exact same item for my grandson at Wal-Mart for $14.88. I had already ordered one for my other grandson on-line from ToyWiz. I wish I hadn't ordered it from ToyWiz. Shipping was fast, but to return it I will have to pay return shipping ($5.95) plus a 10% "restocking" fee($4.50). What a bummer.
  
  
• disgusted with product for the money spent
  By A2380SKO3IE9XE on 2007-01-31
  This toy should not be priced over $5 for what it does! And it is already broken...it makes one sound and now it doesnot even do that
  
  
• Great toy for a Ben 10 fan
  By A3EOA1M0QZLK72 on 2007-02-14
  My boy is a big Ben 10 fan, and absolutely loves this toy. It looks like the "real" Ben 10 Omnitrix watch. You can turn the dial to choose an alien, then push the button to activate the lights and sounds. He wears the watch all the time and always wants to play Ben 10.
  
  If your child likes Ben 10 and pretend that he can turn into the Ben 10 aliens, then I highly recommend this toy.
  
  
• Very disappointed!!!
  By A15916FX04JHE0 on 2006-12-18
  I was expecting a lot more than this. I had never heard of Ben 10 until my four year old son asked for the watch for Christmas. I couldn't find the watch in stores and it was sold out on line, that made me want it for him even more. I finally found one on line. It cost $16 in stores but I bought it for 24.95 plus with shipping and taxes I paid a total of $31.45. When I got the watch I was so excited. After playing with it for a minute, it reminded me of a toy a child would get in a happy meal but a lot bigger. The size of it is another thing, my son is a twin and he is small four year old. The watch is too big for a four year old. I've never watched an entire show so I don't know if I'm missing the point of the show. I hope this is helpful.
  
  
• Fine toy but WAY overpriced
  By A2S1DHBT3CM2UT on 2006-12-21
  This is only 14 dollars and some change at Wal-mart. I'm glad I read the reviews. I almost bought it on Amazon because my son wants it so bad for Christmas. Thanks for all the previous warnings. There's a lot of deals on Amazon, but this isn't one of them.
  
  
• Ben 10
  By A3HYVPES48U32A on 2007-01-09
  I bought this for my 6 Year olds birthday. He still plays with it daily making up all kinds of stories and adventures. He and my 4 year old actually play together with this! It may not be "technical" but it has been great for using the imagination. Well worth the money!!!

• Overpriced, Kids expect the`watch to do more
  By A3MIQXBS2X8HJG on 2007-05-15
  My 8 year old son was starting a new school and was nervous about the first day. He asked for this watch to wear it to school. It took two days for me to find one locally. My son was hoping for it to do more. He wanted it to be more like the real thing. My son said this isn't much better then a happy meal toy. I was thinking I just paid 10 times more then a happy meal for the watch! He did wear it for aboyt 2 weeks but since he said it didn't have ANY cool functions , he stopped wearing it.
  
  
• Not much to watch
  By A3Q4MR2J2KQBGS on 2007-01-01
  I bought this for my toddler. I found it pricey for what he got. It makes a bunch of different sounds, has a dial that shows tiny silouttes of various aliens. That's it. I think my son was more impressed by the fact that it looked like Ben 10's watch, instead of being impressed by its functions.
  
  
• Watch out aliens!
  By A17DE9FD4C9K7K on 2007-01-06
  This toy is so cool. My son's enjoy pretending they are Ben 10 and they love the realistic sounds this omnitrix makes. I had to buy two so that they wouldn't fight over who would be Ben 10 and which alien. We love it.
  But becareful there are two styles and a cheaper version with no sounds and this one is more money but worth every penny.
  
  
• Ben 10 Watch is HORRIBLE
  By AZP94A49XSACY on 2007-01-15
  This is the worst "toy" I have ever purchased for the money. It is worse than the quality of a Happy Meal toy at McDonalds. I do not recommend it at all. The wrist band is stiff and much too big for a 6 year old arm; my son could not put it on himself. After 30 seconds he asked if we could give it back to Santa and get something else. Do not buy this item.
  
  
• SON LOVES IT!
  By A2STH8ZZJW7TLX on 2007-01-17
  My son received this toy for his great report card about 9 wks ago. He sleeps with it and wears it everywhere. The only thing that I don't like is the strap. It's hard for me to get a good grip to insert the pegs/ fastners. I wish it's redesigned with a regular watch band buckle/fastners. Oh, I can't believe how the price has gone up. I got it online for $30 because I needed it rushed. Base price was about $22.
  
  
• Perfect gift for your favorite Ben 10 fan
  By A1JG4B0S0U8XNL on 2007-02-08
  My son is a HUGE fan of the show and has barely taken this watch off in the 4 weeks he's owned it. The stiff band wears in very quickly - so don't worry about that. The sounds and lights are perfect - I wish I had a toy this cool when I was 6 :)
  
  
• Be Like Ben (sort of)
  By A2V0OJY5BIDNZC on 2007-02-28
  This toy is really awesome.
  
  It's an actual replica of Ben Tennyson's Omnitrix device he wears in the TV series. The F/X watch lights up on a dial showing the alien choices Ben goes through in every episode. Also, it pops up and makes authentic sounds just like in the show ! That's too cool. Even though it won't turn YOU into an alien hero, this is something for anyone who's really into the Ben 10 series. At least you can pretend you're the alien you're being transformed into. You know, like cosplay or something.
  
  Keep watching Cartoon Network for brand new episodes of Ben 10 on TV.
  
  
• My son LOVES this!
  By A2BJLS2F2QG8C8 on 2006-12-19
  My 3 year old son got one of these a few months ago since he absolutely loves Ben 10. I only paid $15 for it a Toys R Us then another $15 at Walmart after he dropped the first one in a creek. I wouldnt pay anymore than that. Certainly not the $40 + that it is going for right now. Anyway he never took it off and even slept with it on. It makes the exact sound effects as the cartoon so he thinks he is Ben 10. It great for any kid who is a Ben 10 fan!
  
  
• For my grandson
  By A1KEIK5FYIEGV1 on 2007-01-12
  This was "the" gift that was on my grandson's Christmas list. I was delighted to find it on-line, priced at a very reasonable price. It was delivered in less than a week. I was very pleased with the purchase.

• Tons of fun for an imaginative child
  By AZQ2BTJTPSXV1 on 2007-03-11
  My 10 year old son loves this toy. He almost always has it with him. The toy has the option to choose the alien you want to pretend to be, then all the sound effects from the show to go along with it. I highly recommend this toy to any Ben 10 fan.
  
  
• Stunning and Spectacular

• Ben 10 Omnitrix F/X
  By A2U515PY00HL6F on 2007-06-27
  I purchased this for my 8 year old son who is really into Ben 10. This toy lights up and has sound effects. He has gotten alot of playtime from this toy. Lots of his friends also liked it, even if they werent into Ben 10 because of the lights and sound. Great toy!!
  
  
• Overpriced
  By A3EOGTUQI8DI9V on 2007-12-26
  I bought this item for my son for Christmas and paid close to $40.00 on Amazon. The day before Christmas when strolling through the local walmart I found they had about 4 dozen of these on sale for $14.99. I felt like I really got taken to the cleaners by Amazon. Before you buy on line check your local stores.
  
  As for the actual toy, one of the previous reviewers described it as an over priced Happy Meal item. That acurately describes it. It lights up, beeps and doesn't do very much else. Also the cheap plastic will break in no time.
  
  
• Ben Ten Omnitrix
  By A39BRVW2D8E2W on 2007-05-13
  Great toy for kids who have great imaginations. If they have seen the show
  and know what each alien that Ben can change into does, set watch to that alien and away they go. My son loves it plays with it for hours, wears it when he watched Ben Ten, not unlike myself when I wached the LOne Ranger or The Cisco Kid.

• Ben 10 watch
  By A3AIWBQ5FXNUVE on 2007-09-19
  This watch was bought for my 6 year old nephew who is in hospital and asked especially for this. When he woke from his operation it was the first thing he asked for and it is almost permanently strapped to his little wrist. It gave him much pleasure when he was unable to move. I have since sent him the Ben 10 video and the Ben 10 laboratory. (Who is Ben 10 ????)
