Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber
The Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber set lets kids create thousands of unique alien figures with the twist of a knob. The set includes four figures with interchangeable alien parts. Using the chamber, kids can mix and match parts to create a different custom Ben 10 alien creature every time. The Alien Chamber unit also works as a storage unit for your aliens. It has a special alien key to unlock figures and is recommended for kids above 4 years.
* Set include four alien figures
* Six alien special recipes for challenging game play
* Special alien key to unlock figures
* Attached storage box for extra alien parts
Bought this for my son’s 6th birthday. He has asked for it for months. I paid $30 for it and he was super excited. Got it home to find out that you have to tweak the unit every time you go to make an alien, and if everything isn’t lined up just right the parts won’t go together. I can get it to work 95% of the time and my son can get it to work 5% of the time. He loves it, but it causes him a lot of frustration. It might be great for an older child who is ok with bumping the parts into place when they don’t line up, but for a 6 yo who expects it to work the way its shows on TV it is a big letdown.
Our item came with a spare clip for the torso, but we have had it one day and have had to replace the original clip already. Not a well made toy at all.

I bought this for my 5-year-old Grandson’s birthday and he really loves it. He and I usually play it together when he comes to visit on weekends. I say he and I because some of the controls are too stiff for him to work. Specifically, there’s thumb-wheels that you spin to select arms, leg unit, and head after you manually insert the body part. One of the thumb-wheels is difficult for even me to work and, after finally getting it to turn, jerks the whole unit so hard some/all of the parts come loose and fly out of the unit.
Also, to make the whole thing work, there’s a dial/button you first turn until the parts are together and the lights lite up then push down to pop the assembled Ben10 character off. About 3/4 of the time, my grandson can’t turn this or push it down and, when I do it, the aforementioned disaster happens. Not that I mind playing with my grandson but he plays with it by himself between weekends but ends up just assembling/disassembling the characters without the machine. After several weeks, we’ve had no breakage. He’s now become bored with the toy but additional 2-packs of Ben10 characters ($15.00–yikes!) rekindle (no pun intended) his interest.
