Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat Review

Yvonne Cote
The Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat is a part of National Geographic's Animal Planet channel's Deep Sea collection of play sets that one would arguably perceive as the network's efforts at cross-marketing and interactivity. Animal Planet channel has long appealed to adults and young alike and this play set stays true to that appeal.

The Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat is a play set that includes a diver action figure, an exploration boat, three small accessories (which probably makes it unsuitable for kids 3 years and younger) all adequately designed for a toy all things considered. The Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat comes with a fun fact card, which is an excellent way to trigger a child's yearning for more knowledge while playing. The highlight in my opinion of the Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat play set is a tremendously ferocious looking anglerfish action figure! Well, ferocious looking in a good kind of way. Though strangely disproportionate to the size of the other figures included in this pack (it's as big as the boat), I think that the exaggeration alone will help trigger a child's imagination of adventures in the deep sea while playing with the Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat in a rather benign bath tub. Some people might say that the angler fish of the Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat might give their kids nightmares but as is always the case with toys, parents should initially supervise their kids when playing with a new toy. What better way to help a child confront fears of the strangeness of the animal kingdom than by getting a child to be comfortable with these strange creatures through the environment of play.

I had said earlier that the Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat stays true to Animal Planet's appeal to both the young and the not-so-young (love for animals encompasses age) because of the fact that one of the unexpected surprises of the Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat play set was that, though deemed to be a toy, the aforementioned ferocious looking angler fish actually appealed to me too. Maybe it triggered a long buried fascination for Monty Python skits in me. For one thing, it can be quite a shocking conversational piece if you strategically situate it on top of an office desk. Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat can be prove quite useful for little pranks too. Just make sure to use it responsibly.

It's always important for me as a parent to buy toys that can help trigger my child's imagination and thirst for knowledge. The Animal Planet Deep Sea Playset: Angler Fish with Boat more than measures up to my standards and even enhances the parent-child relationship for it can transform a very ordinary routine chore like taking a bath into a fantastic adventure that I and my child can embark on.
