Fireman Sam Heroes of the Storm DVD Review

Back in the Summer Holiday's Leo and I were invited to London to a rather exciting premier. The premier of Fireman Sam's latest feature film: Fireman Sam Heroes of the Storm. Unfortunately we were busy that day and couldn't make the rather splendid event. The fantastic team over at Mattel very kindly sent us the DVD and a Fireman Sam Helmet with sounds so that we could still get involved. 

It made a lovely treat for Leo when he arrived home from school last week, as last week was the start of his first full day in the school setting, so when he arrived home to such a lovely surprise he really was over the moon. It is safe to say that school is tiring that little man of mine right out, so we are opting to spend afternoons following the school day, quietly and usually with a film. Of course the movie of choice last week was Heroes of the Storm!

What's it all about?

The Pontypandy Fire Station has been closed down following the construction of a much newer modern station, and with that two new recruits have arrived. While the new station is being constructed the crew are having to work from a mobile command unit. Of course if something can go wrong...It wil go wrong and in this instance, it's the approaching hurricane that is about to hit Pontypandy!

The crew jump in to action to prepare the town, with Sam rushing to the old mines to warn Penny and Elvis left in charge at the station. As the wind whips up and the rain lashes down, it's a race against time to save the residents of Pontypandy. 

The film has so many different emergencies going on that it definitely helped keep Leo entertained and the entire duration of the film saw Leo sat on the very edge of his seat. He asked questions about what was going on, why was Sam doing that? And the entire time saw him sitting with his very special Fireman Sam Helmet on his head.

The film retails at: £5.99 and you can get your very own Fireman Sam Sound Helmet from Amazon for £14.97.

The Fireman Sam Titan Boat Review

In the last few weeks Leo has been enjoying a new addition to his toy box, the Fireman Sam Titan Boat from Character. Leo is currently going through a boat phase, so it arrived at the completely right time. 

The boat itself is basic and is designed for children 3 and up, what I like about it was that it was a straight up toy, there are no lights or sounds and it is completely up to Leo to see where his imagination takes him. I love nothing more than watching Leo enjoy his games of make believe these days and he really does get into the games he dreams up.

The Titan Boat is designed for play on the floor, and features wheels to roll it around as you would a toy car. We received two fireman figures with our set, but when purchasing the boat you actually have to buy the figures separately and the price of £9.99 includes the boat only. 

Leo has been enjoying playing with his Titan Boat and moving the characters around the boat as they go on their adventures to fight fires.

The boat is the perfect size for little hands and easy to maneuver around. A great little gift for the younger Fireman Sam fans in the house.
