The Super Hero Squad Show Volume 1 Review
I am a comic book geek. Well, I was until I had kids and had to start buying diapers instead comics. I have tried to think for years on how to get my kids into comic characters and all of the imaginative stories that come along with these iconic beings of super-ness. I was really pleased when I got word that Marvel was going to start putting out a new show using a whole heapin’ of their super heroes! This show is really geared to younger kids but, stays true to comic likenesses that I have seen throughout my years in the realm of comics. The young-lings laugh at the silly jokes and I “marvel” at the short quips and throwbacks to yesteryear!
The most powerful object in the universe, the INFINITY SWORD, has been shattered (oops!) in a battle between IRON MAN and DR. DOOM. But Doom doesn’t give up easily; he’ll leave no stone unturned until he recovers every last shard. Iron Man snags the best heroes around to beat Doom at his own game: WOLVERINE, HULK, THOR, the SILVER SURFER and a hotshot flyer named THE FALCON. With friends like CAPTAIN AMERICA and MS. MARVEL, and with tons of other heroes helping out, Iron Man can lead the Super Hero Squad to victory!
In addition to a great look that kids won’t be afraid of or too intimidated by, there is HUGE list of celebrity voice actors and it’s really fun while watching and picking out the actors! Featuring the guest voices of Adrian Pasdar (Heroes), Robert Englund (A Nightmare On Elm Street), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Greg Grunberg (Heroes), James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) LeVar Burton, Taye Diggs and Stan Lee! The kids loved it and I totally tolerated it!
The Super Hero Squad Show: Quest For The Infinity Sword! Volume 1 DVD contains seven exciting episodes including:
- “And Lo…A Pilot Shall Come!”
- “This Silver, This Surfer!”
- “Hulk Talk Smack!”
- “To Err Is Superhuman!”
- “Enter: Dormammu!”
- “A Brat Walks Among Us!”
- “Oh Brother!”
BONUS FEATURES:
- A new interview with Stan “The Man” Lee
- Music Video
- The Super Hero Squad Show Trailer
- The Super Hero Squad Show Online Trailer
- THQ’s SHSS: The Infinity Gauntlet Game Trailer
Ryan’s Rating: 8 out of 10!!
Pros: Kids love it, very family friendly, and extremely iconic characters.
Cons: The theme song will get so stuck in your head!

The Jawbone ICON Review and Giveaway
Dad’s like to stay connected. I talk with my family throughout the workday every day. I am fortunate to have a job that I can talk with anyone at anytime but, I am constantly on the move. That’s why I am so glad to have been hooked up with a Jawbone ICON.
Users can listen to podcasts or music while running errands throughout the day. They can receive turn-by-turn driving directions whispered into their ear while navigating the streets with both eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel. Users can even discreetly listen to the live play-by-play of a big sporting event while working at a desk. The addition of streaming audio allows Jawbone ICON users to be more productive and connected, all while remaining hands-free and discreet.
Jawbone ICON is the world’s most intelligent Bluetooth headset. With the best noise elimination on the market, Jawbone ICON also provides the first and only integrated application platform. Users can go to mytalk.jawbone.com to explore the all-new Jawbone MyTALK and to download apps that allow them to use their voice to send text messages, check their email, and tweet— all from their Jawbone ICON.
One of the sweetest things that reeled me in to liking the ICON is that Jawbone is the inventor of NoiseAssassin, the world’s first and only military-grade noise-eliminating technology. My wife constantly would tell me to “get to a quieter place” or “call me back at a place where I can hear you!” NoiseAssassin has saved my marriage.
Originally developed for use in tanks and helicopters, Jawbone ICON’s NoiseAssassin is a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguish your voice from background noise. As a result, Jawbone offers better audio quality than any other headset on the market.
Ryan’s Rating: 9 out of 10!!
Pros: Sleek, small yet stays put in my ear, and I can actually hear out of it and be heard too!
Cons: More accessories like another earbud to make it true stereo or a separate small case to store on a belt clip.

I will be giving away (2) Jawbone ICON’s to 2 lucky people here on Daddy Digest!

Fantastic Sams – Fantastic for Men Line (Closed)
I’m the type of person who has always went to a place to get my hair done. Not super fancy places that charge outlandish prices to help select a style, wash, cut, blow dry, style, primp and give you advice on how to maintain your expensive look though. I also cringe at the thought of going to a traditional “barber shop” and get a haircut just like my daddy and my grandaddy. So finding a place like Fantastic Sams was an immense relief and convenience. Fantastic Sam’s was actually the first establishment I went to when I was younger and moved out on my own. Fantastic Sams Hair Salons is one of the world’s largest hair care franchises, providing the same quality services as independent salons but at a fraction of the cost.
One of the things I always think of is the hair care products that are used in a hair salons. I usually always get my hair washed and rinsed before I leave because I can’t stand to have hair bits all on my scalp after the haircut. The only problem is that I can’t keep that great smelling salon product in, on, and around my head the next day. The great news is that there is the Fantastic for Men Line. The Fantastic for Men Line includes a two-in-one shampoo & conditioner, a tea tree shampoo, tea tree conditioner, simple style matte wax, x-treme gel, and styling cement. Here is some info on all of them and who they are right for!
Two-in-One Shampoo & Conditioner
Who needs it: Active males who don’t want the hassle of using both a shampoo and conditioner separate.
What it does: Gently cleanses and conditions hair and scalp
- Use this daily shampoo to cleanse and condition in one easy step. It gently moisturizes and strengthens hair of all types, providing great combing ability. So whether you need to get ready fast or just pack it for the road, our Two in One is perfect for active men on the go.
Tea Tree Shampoo
Who needs it: Men who need a soothing scalp and hair cleanser
What it does: Gently cleanses hair an scalp while soothing minor irritations
- Gently cleanses hair and scalp while soothing minor irritations. Tea Tree oil, black tea and aloe combine to soothe irritations. Peppermint oil refreshes and creates a pleasant tingle.
Tea Tree Conditioner
Who needs it: Companion to the Tea Tree Shampoo to soothe and condition irritated scalps
What it does: Tames coarse rough hair and helps soothe irritated scalps
- Tames coarse rough hair and helps soothe irritated scalp. Tea Tree oil, black tea and aloe combine to soothe irritations. Apple Extract, Sugar Cane, Panthenol Pro-Vitamin B5, and Amodimethicone combine to provide conditioning and shine. Wheat and Soy Protein combine to strengthen hair. Menthol refreshes and creates a pleasant tingle.
Simple Style Matte Wax
Who needs it: Men who want added texture or definition to their style
What it does: A creamy styling wax used to contour and control hair’s natural texture, leaving a low-shine matte finish
- This creamy styling wax is as versatile as you are. It contours and controls the natural texture of all types of hair, wet or dry, for a messy look or a sleek, cleaned up style. Its low to medium hold allows for flexible control. Plus, added sunscreen protects your hair from harmful UV rays.
X-treme Gel
Who needs it: Men who want all-day control
What it does: Ultra-firm gel defines and controls hair all day
- Who has time for re-styling? This ultra-firm gel defines and controls hair with strong-hold staying power that lasts all day. And it contains sunscreen for added UV protection. Sculpt hair with this non-alcohol formula for a natural, no-flake shine and a look that stays put.
Styling Cement
Who needs it: Young, stylish, funky males looking to spike and twist hair into a defined style that lasts all day and night
What it does: Rock hard hold for funky, spiky and fierce styles; water resistant formula that can be washed out with shampoo.
- Rock hard hold for funky, spiky, and fierce styles. Water resistant super strong styling cement provides definition and ultra control.
I really love the products that they sent over. My favorite by far is the Two-in-One shampoo/conditioner. It is amazing to just have both on one bottle. With all of the other bottles occupying the shelves in the shower in a household of five it is good to just look for your ONE bottle. As for the products in general: When they say it tingles…it does. When they say it styles well…it does. When they say it holds…………………………………….it……sorry I had some on the tip of my finger…see it really holds! Good stuff all around.
Giveaway
I will be giving away a gift basket filled with an assortment of products from the Fantastic for Men line!
