Egg Bods are quirky little wind up characters with mix and match heads and arms. There are eight collectable characters, each with their own individual background stories on eggbods.com. The Egg Bods are well made plastic egg shaped characters that can be wound up to walk and swing their arms. Children can swap the heads, arms and accessories of each Egg Bod to make their own creation.
Sandy (aged four) was lucky enough to be given four Egg Bods to review: Captain Hardboiled (the pirate egg); Crack Commando (the soldier egg); Eggalina Ballerina (the dancer egg) and Nurse Eggwhite (the medical egg). The cute colourful design definitely appealed to Sandy and his baby sister, Betty (aged one). They were both excited to get them out of the box. And they both loved watching the Egg Bods race across the table. The detachable arms and accessories are small, so closely supervised play only for little Betty.Sandy’s favourite character was Captain Hardboiled the pirate. When asked what he liked about them he said, “I like to change their heads and make them look silly”.
However once his initial interest waned Sandy’s play with Egg Bods has been rather limited. They still provide a lot of temptation to Betty though and I’m sure Sandy will rediscover them soon.
At £4.99 Egg Bods do make a reasonable chocolate free alternative Easter gift.
