Rubble and Hammerhead vehicle to the rescue!

I received the PAW Patrol Aqua Pups Rubble Transforming Hammerhead Shark Vehicle with Collectible Action Figure from @thisisbutterly @chickadvisor @familyrated and @spinmaster for free in exchange for our honest review.

It comes with Rubble in its yellow Aqua Pups wetsuit and helmet and the Hammerhead Shark Vehicle. Rubble looks really cute and the vehicle color is so vibrant. My baby girl is obsessed with PAW Patrol, so she was excited to receive it. This is her first toy from the Aqua Pups series, she only has some interactive PAW Patrol action figures.

In order to transform the vehicle to rescue mode, we’ve to place Rubble in the vehicle cockpit and slide the canopy shut, popping out the wings and dorsal fin. The plastic that the canopy is made of is not that great, can easily crack, and get scratched, had some when we first received it which made it kinda look like an old toy rather than a new one. It was really hard to shut the canopy, even for me and the dorsal fin got jammed the first time we tried it. She was disappointed when we learned that it’s not recommended to play with it in the water. She asked me why it's named Aqua Pups when it cannot go underwater. Rubble was well made and she had a lot of fun with the action figure and not much with the vehicle.



I don’t think I’ll recommend it or purchase the other vehicle toys from this line. I’ll get the other aqua pups action figures as she seems to enjoy playing with them.

Limited Functionality Toy

My daughter had the opportunity to try out the new PAW Patrol Aqua Pups Rubble Transforming Hammerhead Shark Vehicle with Collectible Action Figure. To be honest it didn’t hold her attention for long. We both struggled to close the cockpit which brings out the underwater fins of the vehicle. It was unclear what the function of the pusher payload was and if it effected other functions of the toy. I think it is also misleading that this is not a water toy and is not suitable on or in water (after reading the fine print). She mostly enjoyed putting Rubble in and out of the cockpit but wouldn’t play with the toy any other way. Although my daughter likes Paw Patrol I feel this toy was a bust in our home; sorry to report.

Don't lose it, reuse it?

We were lucky enough to be selected to try out a new toy from spin master. The paw patrol Rubble aqua pups toy and action figure. My kids ages 2, 4, & 7 have lived paw patrol for quite some time and were super eager for the new packaged toy to arrive. While waiting for it, my 7 year old surfed the computer looking for what we were getting in the mail. It was not exactly what he was expecting but was super excited either way. My 4 year old, the big pup fan, didn't care as long as he could play with it. Out of the box it came with easy plastic ties to pop it out and off they went. However it didn't last long until there was a first complication. Not arguing or bickering over turns either. The fin on the top of the "shark" was stuck leaving the window compartment hard to close and open. The other fins, which are moving parts, also wouldn't open or close properly. It took mom some maneuvering of the top tail and we were clicked back in place. The kids played some more and then told me their reviews. Both agreed that the tail with the drill was cool but wished it moved, the fins getting stuck (happened a few more times) was annoying, and that it wasn't water proof like the name Aqua Pups suggests. The kids still play with it from time to time, but much like a lot of their plastic toys with malfunctioning pieces, it sits in the sea of other toys waiting for another chance to be picked up. We were able to catch some elf action with it recently which proved some good fun. Otherwise, it's a 3 stars from us. Kids liked it, would play with it on a store shelf if they saw it, but overall, it likely wouldn't be a toy that would make the trip home from a store.

Keeps the lil one entertained for hrs :)

I received this 2 days ago and my lil baby boy already loves his paw patrol!!! He’s absolutely fascinated by the cute figure and obsessed with carrying it around the house. He finds it very fun to open and close the area where the paw patrol figure can sit around and play pretend drive! He enjoys how it can move back and fourth on a smooth surface, only wished the wheels could go slightly faster being able to be pushed off in a straight direction as that would be more exciting for him but overall the design is very safe for a 4 year old! Overall cute toy with vibrant colours and seems fairly sturdy so I’m not concerned about the plastic cracking.
