The Ben 10 cartoon started in 2005 and now has two series with a third in the pipeline. The second series is called Alien Force and catches up with the boy who can turn into aliens when he is 15 years old. As well as getting to see an older Ben, children also get to see a new Ben 10 Omnitrix watch, which is what Ben uses to turn into his alien friends, as well as whole set of new aliens. The toy range has kept up to date with the new Omnitrix which is now green. There are two toys to choose between called the Ultimate Omnitrix and the Omnitrix Illuminator. The Ultimate version has flashing lights and sounds that children would hear on the cartoon. It also comes with a mini translucent alien figure that unlocks alien voices when attached to the watch face. The Illuminator is also great for role play as it is a detailed replica but it uses animation disks and an internal light source to project alien images onto any wall or flat surface. Fifteen images come with the toy via three disks.
