At the risk of being investigated by NAPCAN, I'm afraid to say we have a strict “No Toys That Make Noise” policy in our house. It has meant that on occasion we have had to hand back toys to well-meaning grandparents (with the buttons super-glued down, and a sign attached saying “WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING!!!”); in a household with six kids under eleven you have to make some tough choices to try to keep your sanity – they make enough noise as it is without noisy toys!
That, and the battery demands!
So, sorry, all our action figures are mute!
Great comments on Iron Man's sayings, still quite incredible how much can be said about a toy.
I never had many toys which actually said something..I just have the JP Tyrant which stomps and growls I think and a car which had a grenade launch sound which even started to irritate me in the end.
Oh wait..I just remembered a thing where you had to drive a car (police car, ambulance, firetruck) over a certain spot and it would get an assignment.
thanks a lot for the information
I completely understand that! Actually growing up I didn't really have any noisy toys either, so who's buying these things apart from the odd man-child (growing the moustache is going to make me ALL man and no doubt I will put away childish things…NAH)
I was just kind of shocked when I took the toy out of the box and that's ALL he said – at least Hulk has old faithful Hulk SMASH to fall back on.
The mo-less man-child here hasn't put away childish things – if the government suddenly decided to tax a household by how much lego is in that household, we would have to declare bankruptcy! Ahhh, simple pleasures!
