Using the product is super easy. First, if you want to play with the individual figures, transform the Bumblebee toy from its sportscar form to robot mode in 6 steps and the Dinobot Swoop from pterodactyl to robot in 7 steps. The tail whip accessory can be attached to the Dinobot Swoop robot for more fun. To combine them, follow the 6 - step process to create the 7 - inch Bumbleswoop figure. You can also try combining these figures with other Dino Combiners (which you'll need to buy separately) to form different battle combinations. When it comes to maintenance, keep the toys away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. If they get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them clean. Remember, this toy is suitable for kids aged 6 and up, so make sure younger kids are supervised if they want to play with it.
