Target HBA Christmas gift sets for girls and boys

While shopping for shampoo the other day (and prompted by a post on another site), I found two HBA (Health and Beauty Aids, for those not in the know ) gift sets, probably meant for kids, at Target. The items are faced in a plastic tray, inside a box with a cellopane or plastic 'window' for display. The box is the typical RotS packaging of flames and Darth Vader's mask and helmet.

The boys' set includes the following:

1) A toy "electric razor" that squirts water (not sure of function)
2) Yoda shampoo
3) Yoda "shaving cream"

(I didn't purchase this set, so am not sure of details. Please post them if you have more info! )

The girls' set (Star Wars Bubbling Bath Set) includes the following:

1) three bath fizzies with pictures of R2 and 3PO
2) Yoda bubble bath (6.8 fl. oz.)
3) green bath pouf with attached Yoda figure as a handle
4) blue hanger with hook for pouf with picture of Anakin
5) blue puffy keychain with drawing of Anakin
6) lip gloss with drawing of a scene from the Duel and the word JEDI as a banner

(Guess which set I purchased? Couldn't resist all the Anakin products.)

These retail for $5.99, and I found them on an endcap on the shampoo and bath products aisle.

 

I have been seeing these sets for a few weeks now out here in MA. Since I don't have any kids to buy for I really didn't pay much attention to them. Plus if I would come home with something like this the ol' lady would give me grief. lol

Sounds like some cool sets though especially for the younglings or the youngling at heart shall I say.

 

I haven't seen those here. However we have Darth Vader Shower Gel (at least I think it is shower gel). The Vader figure is actually pretty good. I also have the Jango version that came out for AOTC.

 

Yoda shampoo? He's bald for Pete's sake! If I'm a kid, no way am I using that! What's next, the Darth Vader skin care collection?


Happy Thanksgiving! ( I know it's a chicken. It's the best I could do)

 

Here's more info for the boys' set:

Star Wars Groom n' Go:

1. shampoo, 4 oz., berry-scented no less (LOL!), with Yoda on the bottle

2. foaming body soap (the so-called "shaving cream" as mentioned in my first post), 3.5 oz, and the can has a picture of Obi-Wan and Anakin, with light sabers at the ready

3. the blue 'play electric' razor, with, I kid you not, "squirting play action"

HTH!

 

I bought both of these a few weeks ago. And I did not realize that one was for boys, and another was for girls. I just saw that both of them had cool Yoda things inside.

 

Finally, I found a new bubble bath in the baby section at Target. (Saw it once, and passed it by, only to take weeks of looking for it again.)

It's in the same round bottle as the one with the Yoda topper, but this one has an R2 topper, and it's made rather well. The bubble bath formula is a mild one, not the berry scent of the other one.

 

I think I picked up an R2 bubble bath at the same time when the Yoda one started to appear at Wal-Mart, but I think the one I have is berry scented too.

I also saw more SW kids sets of health and beauty things at Wal-Mart, but none of the items had Yoda, so I didn't buy any of them. I seem to remember one coming with a Death Star ball and a basketball hoop or something.

 

This really shows how little thought was given to a girl's set.. a little girl is not going to be attracted to those characters.. she is going to want Leia or Padme... Again.. total incomprehension to what is desired by the girl fans of star wars.
