Better safe

The line has finally made its local debut. I’ve seen the figures in Jusco and Toys ‘R’ Us stores for a very agreeable RM39.90 each.

I hope to put together a review but in the meantime, I’d like to share the warnings I found on the packaging:

Warning: Choking Hazard. – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Caution: Batteries are to be charged by an adult. Do not leave batteries within reach of children.

Caution: Do not leave this toy close to a source of heat or in direct sunlight.

Caution: To avoid battery leakage:
1. See the diagram to know how to remove and insert batteries.
2. Non-rechargeable batteries must never be recharged.
3. Rechargeable batteries must be removed from toy before being charged and rechargeable batteries should be charged under adult supervision.
4. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc) or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries together.
5. Only batteries of the recommended type or of a similar type should be used.
6. Batteries must be inserted according to the correct polarity (see diagram).
7. Remove batteries from toy when storing for an extended period of time or if batteries are exhausted.
8. The supply terminals must not be short-circuited.

Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and children.

After reading all those warnings, one gets the impression this is less a fun plaything and more of an Instant Death Kit.
