Ben 10 is a new TV series which launched this January on Cartoon Network. Ben 10 has been a hit with the young boys aged between 6 - 11 and 9 to 14 years. The story of Ben 10 goes something like this:

Ben 10 follows the adventures of 10-year-old Ben Tennyson, an unlikely hero who discovers a strange device resembling a wristwatch inside a crashed meteorite. Once the watch, called the “Omnitrix,” permanently locks itself on his wrist, Ben discovers that he can transform into 10 different and fantastic alien beings, each with unique powers and abilities—but while retaining his 10-year-old personality. As he learns to control these newfound powers, he decides to use them to right wrongs and fight evil. But sometimes he cannot resist using the Omnitrix to satisfy his own curiosities, landing him in some major kid-style trouble. Fortunately his grandfather Max and cousin Gwen are there to keep him in check and bail him out of trouble when he needs it.

Now, Bandai America is all ready to launch a series of unique toys based on the Ben 10 line. Aliens dominate this stunning line of toys featuring action figures, alien vehicles, role-play toys and much more. Ben 10 fans can look forward to the Alien Collection, which is a line of collectible 4" figures of the 10 aliens which Ben can initially transform into, the Metamorfigures, which are 8" figures which transform from aliens to unique spy gear like a working flashlight, a water gun and a binocular, Alien Ships which are cool ships featuring a unique water pumping action and much more.

The highlights of the Ben 10 toy line from Bandai America are the Omnitrix Alien Viewer, where kids can insert the animation disks (from the 4” figures and deluxe playset) into the device’s face to see Ben transform right before their eyes, the Omnitrix F/X, which features red and green flashing lights and transformation sound effects from the show, and the Deluxe playset , an exact replica of the “Rust Bucket” RV that Ben is traveling in, transforms into an Alien Laboratory where kids can make clay molds of the aliens, dissolve their Alien Rocks as well as view the animation disks that come with the 4” figures and the Omnitrix Alien Viewer.

I was wondring if the Ben 10 toys are involved in the toy recall.

Has anyone got any idea which is the better product – Omnitrix FX or the Deluxe Omnitrix watch?
I’m unsure what my son would prefer for Christmas…
