When it's hero time or just time to have some fun, a Ben 10 Omnitrix toy is a great choice for young fans to imagine themselves becoming fantastical alien creatures and saving the world.
If you want the best Ben 10 Omnitrix toy, the top choice is the Ben 10 Omnitrix Creator. This is not just one Omnitrix replica toy. It can be turned into multiple different Omnitrix styles and customized by the user.
Depending on the version of Ben 10 you like best, your favorite Omnitrix toy may be more difficult to find than others. A Ben 10 toy Omnitrix inspired by more recent series, like the reboot or Omniverse, will probably be easier to find. Omnitrix styles from older series may be collector's items which are more rare and expensive.
There are lots of Ben 10 Omnitrix toys that are designed to look the part, but they do not all function the same way. If you want a Ben 10 Omnitrix toy just like the one in the cartoon—that pops up and activates by slamming the center down—your choices will be more limited. While the benefit of a pop-up Omnitrix toy is that you will probably feel more like Ben Tennyson, the problem remains that moving parts are much easier to accidentally break.
Other than being a nice addition to any fan's Ben 10 collection, most Omnitrix toys don't have a useful everyday function, like a kid's watch or clock. However, if you like the look of the Omnitrix and wish you could wear something like that every day, consider a Ben 10 Omnitrix watch. Not only is it functional, it has an alien sound alert every hour.
The best Ben 10 Omnitrix toys have light-up parts that stand out and give the Omnitrix an appearance similar to the one on the show. For costumes and playing pretend, Omnitrix lighting is a pretty important feature.
Some Omnitrix replicas produce sound effects inspired by the device on the show and ones similar to Ben Tennyson's alien forms. This is a less important feature for use in cosplay, but Omnitrix sounds can be a lot of fun for kids.
Many Ben 10 Omnitrix toys generally just look the part, but some of them offer a variety of functions. For instance, some Ben 10 Omnitrix wrist watches can project hologram-like images of Ben 10 aliens on walls or ceilings.
Expect to spend $20-$45 on a toy Omnitrix, depending on what moving components and other features the toy includes. If you are looking for an older Ben 10 Omnitrix toy no longer in production, it most likely will be more expensive.
A. Before purchasing an Omnitrix toy, always check the manufacturer's age recommendations. The recommended ages for Ben 10 Omnitrix toys are usually printed on the packaging. Omnitrix toys that have light projectors, come with discs or feature small parts are probably better suited for older kids. Since safety is always a concern, keep any toy with small parts away from young children, as they are choking hazards.
A. All Ben 10 Omnitrix toys can be collected, though some hold their value better than others. Classic Ben 10 merchandise can be hard to track down, especially toys that are still in working condition. They are also difficult to find in like-new condition, and the price tag will likely reflect that.
If buying newer Ben 10 Omnitrix toys for collection, storing them in the original, unopened packaging will help maintain or grow their value.
