Retail Interview - with The Very Group toys category manager Nicole Sweeney

AMBASSADORS SPECIAL To the rescue! Paw Patrol fan Ronnie got his little hands on Spin Master's Paw Patrol True Metal Total City Rescue Set and Marshall Transforming City Fire Truck. Mum Amy tells us how he got on...

As a parent I really loved the vibrant colours of the toys - they're very eye-catching. They were also easy to assemble and didn't come with too much cardboard waste, like some toys do.

First impressions out of the box were amazement at how well made the toys are; they are sturdy and solid, and made to last. The fact that the packaging was minimal is also important to me as I don't like much wastage of cardboard, or any type of packaging for that matter. The toys look expensive and robust - and they need to be well made to survive little hands, especially those of little boys!

Even the track is easy for my son Ronnie (aged two) to assemble, and the fact that it all comes apart makes it simple to store when playtime has finished.

I love the noises that the Firetruck makes. They really help to keep Ronnie engaged with it and add to the imaginative play experience, making it more realistic for the child. The two balls that come with it represent water, and Ronnie really enjoyed loading these into the water hose and ‘shooting’ them (to put out the fire).

Ronnie said he “loves” the products and they are "so much fun". He liked the bright colours and the noises too. It's great that he can set the toys up himself - it saves me a job! The toys really have enhanced his imaginative play and he plays with them for hours on end.

Ronnie also likes the fact that the Fire Truck comes with a big Marshall toy, which he can use when playing with the track version of the Paw Patrol toy. He can also use this toy with other sets that he has too, which is a bonus.

Ronnie absolutely loves these toys. Paw Patrol is one of his favourite programmes and we cannot wait for the new film to be released soon! What’s in the box?
