Imaginext launchers and projectiles

Launchers are the part kids show off first. Here is what fires, how far, and how to keep the play friendly.

Pad launchers

Our newest launcher sets put a vehicle on a pad: slap it and the vehicle shoots forward with the figure aboard. There is nothing to load and nothing that flies loose.

Disc and projectile launchers

Many vehicles and robots fire soft plastic discs or capped projectiles from a button or lever. They travel a few feet — enough to knock down a villain, not to cross the house.

Playing it safe

Aim launchers at targets, never at faces or pets, and keep spare projectiles in the set's storage spot or a small zip bag. Projectiles are small parts, so the youngest crew plays with a grown-up nearby.
