Santiago of the Seas Light-Up Talking Santiago Figure & More Review

New Santiago of the Seas toys let preschoolers set sail with Santiago and his friends.

Adventure awaits with the Light-Up Talking Santiago figure. Press the compass on the figure’s chest to watch it light up and hear more than 20 sounds and phrases in both English and Spanish. This nine-inch figure also includes a sword and is poseable for all sorts of adventures. The toy includes three button cell batteries.

Dive into more adventures with the Sea the Surprise Lorelai Doll. The Lorelai mermaid doll comes with figures of Cecilia the octopus and a sea turtle pal. When you dip Lorelai’s tail, Cecilia, and the sea turtle into icy cold water, you’ll activate a color-change feature. Lorelai’s glittery hair can also be decorated with the eight hair accessories that easily pop into her head. Or kids can use the hair accessories as charms on the wearable bracelet. It’s styled to look just like the one that Lorelai wears. Store the accessories inside the seashell when playtime is over. Or use the seashell and the star-shaped sponge to give Cecilia and the sea turtle a bath.

And there’s a lot of high-seas adventure on the Lights & Sounds El Bravo Pirate Ship playset. When kids spin and press the compass or push the Santiago button, they’ll hear character phrases, sound effects, and pirate adventure story prompts. The ship’s sail also lights up in different colors. The ship comes with a poseable Santiago figure with sword, a removable surfboard, Kiko, a treasure chest, a spyglass, and a “heart of El Bravo” play piece. There’s also a pretend coin that “magically” disappears and reappears in the hidden treasure chamber. Roll the ship along for a wave-like motion. This comes with three AA batteries and has two volume levels.
