Review: KRE-O Transformers Beast Hunters Ripclaw Strike Building Set

Since my son is currently obsessed with all things Transformers, I was so pleased to receive the KRE-O Transformers Beast Hunters Ripclaw Strike Building Set from Hasbro for review.  Ollie was thrilled when it arrived and he and Ray could start assembling it.  Hasbro’s new line of toys is based on the Beasthunters story from the third season of Transformers Prime, an animated series on The Hub network.  This is one of Ollie’s favorite shows!

The Ripclaw Strike Building Set is a 2-in-1 toy, with 199 pieces that you can turn into a robot or a dragon.  While this set is meant for ages 6-12, it was a bit too involved for Ollie to build on his own at the age of 6.  Ray put it together in no time for him.  The set comes with two Kreon figures for even more fun!

I can tell you that Ollie enjoyed dragon mode the most.  One of the coolest features is the flapping wings.  The wings are activated easily with the push of a button.  He and Ray enjoyed playing around with Ripclaw.

Overall, we were impressed with the KRE-O Transformers Beast Hunters Ripclaw Strike Building Set from Hasbro.  It is a large 2-in-1 toy with cool features and Ollie has been enjoying it very much.  He loves to bring out Ripclaw when Tranformers Prime is on The Hub so he can play along!  This set retails for around $16.99 in stores and online.  Be sure to follow all the fun on the Transformers Facebook page and on Twitter @HasbroNews.
