Fisher-Price Disney's Jake and The Never Land Pirates - Jake's Musical Pirate Ship Bucky [Amazon Exclusive]

Jake and the Neverland Pirates is not a series just for Boys. Both of my girls (ages 3 and 5) love it. They run around the house pretending to be pirate princesses and all the other characters all the time. They also love all the toys.Jake's Musical Pirate Ship Bucky is a great toy all around. It is sturdy and substantial and can take a beating. It is also super fun for my girls. It comes with Jake and Scully (the parrot) and it accommodates plenty of the Jake characters that my girls have collected (or Doc McStuffins, or Strawberry Shortcake, or whoever else wants to go for a boat ride). It has great sounds and the water cannon is fun and easy to use, but not too dangerous as many projectile toys have been in the past. It is also nice that the water ball projectiles are compatible with all the other cannons on the other Jake toys. There are also plenty of little plastic pegs that go in holes on each characters foot to keep them in place in various parts of the ship. The extra water balls also store neatly right on the deck of the ship. Tick Tock Croc even pops out of a hidden door in the hull of the ship. These little features all make for a nice design.The most amazing part about Bucky is how much my girls love playing with it. It, with all the other Jake toys, keeps them entertained for long periods of time. It is the only toy that will keep our 3-year-old out of our hair so we can get a much needed break.The only negative thing I can say about Bucky is that the door that covers Tick Tock Croc comes off really easy, but isn't too hard to put back on, and keeps this delicate part of the toy from breaking.Long story short, Bucky is a lifesaver in our house by giving our girls hours of fun. We buy all the Jake toys and this one is a must have. Five Stars! Highly Recommended!Here are links to the other Jake toys that we have purchased:Hook's Jolly Roger Pirate Ship - http://www.amazon.com/review/R1T0I8UVT5GK4Z/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permHook's Adventure Rock - http://www.amazon.com/review/R2XX7XMG3EOABA/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permSkull Island - http://www.amazon.com/review/R3QZHEH4747U0M/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

This is a unique toy. With wheels that wobble the ship back and forth to make it seem like it is going on water, to many places to put characters, it has been used by my kids a lot.It has a cannon to launch projectiles, a slide for characters to go down, a crows nest to put characters in, and the Tic Tok Croc pops out at the press of a button. It also has multiple phrases for fans of the show. The ship is just a neat looking toy that my kids keep coming back to, even if it’s not to play with other Jake toys. They use it all the time just because of how it looks with characters from other toy lines. It is probably the most used toy in our house.Yes it might be expensive, but it is a huge hit that I recommend for any Jake fan because it will be played with, even long after they are not fans of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. For us it was definitely worth it and it has withstood the test of time and is very durable.

Our 4 year old daughter has been asking for this for Christmas for over a month. She is obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates, We even wrote a letter to Santa with her. We've played with one that a friend has and it's a decent little toy. We also got the Captain Hook Battle Boat because you need someone for Jake to fight with. So I ordered it up. Christmas shopping done early!My only complaint is this... the day before it arrived, our daughter saw Toy Story for the first time. When I saw the package sitting on the doorstep I asked her again what she wants for Christmas, her answer was Buzz Lightyear. No amount of reasoning would get her to change her mind. No, she doesn't want the Jake boat, just Buzz Lightyear. Stupid Pixar and their quality movie making. I guess it's time to force the kid to watch a LOT of Jake for the next month so she remembers how much she loves it

This toy is great - there are separate figures of Jake and his parrot that can "stand" on different places on the ship via a hole/peg mechanism. There are also buttons on the back of the ship that when pressed, make different Jake pirate sounds. And a button you can push that results in an alligator popping out the side of the ship (my son kept playing with this and would laugh hysterically at it). There are also some shooting water pieces that you can slip into the front of the ship and when you press a button, go flying forward which is great for imaginary play. The ship itself is very nice quality and looks like a real ship. There are wheels at the bottom to allow for easy pushing/maneuvering. I highly recommend this toy, especially if your son likes pirates or Jake the pirate.
