SuperThings (formerly known as Superzings) are cute little 1 inch rubber colourful pocket-money friendly collectible characters. For every SuperThings superhero, there is an opposite super villain, and you can collect the whole set by buying little blind bags, as well as larger sets which promise you’ll get the rarer characters.
By now, we’re very familiar with them having collected many of the series already, however years later they’re still going strong and coming out with new ideas for SuperThings collectible characters all the time.
We were sent a huge bundle of new SuperThings Rescue Force Series 10 collectibles to unbox and review including a Starter Pack, 10-pack including gold leader, six pack including a silver captain and three other SuperThings, a Rescue Jet and Jump Wing, three individual SuperJets, one Kazoom Kid figure and a bunch of single blind bags.
What’s New in SuperThings Rescue Force Series 10?
This series has more than 80 new superheroes and villains to collect including two rare gold Superleaders figures, rare silver Captains, and also two ULTRA RARE SuperThings; hero Emperorder and villain Moonarchaos.
We were lucky to get Wagony, the gold rare villain (in fact we got two!) and Desventure, a silver captain, in our collection- but we’re still hunting for the ultra-rares!
SuperThings Rescue Force has a super team of larger three-inch chrome effect Kaboom Kid characters: Starlock, Toolie Kit and Watermax who are the heroes, and Cahillion, Breakmania and Funfire who are the villains. These are available to buy separately (RRP £5) in labelled boxes (not blind bagged); we had Cashillion to unbox, the evil villain and nemesis of Starlock.
In each box you get a Kaboom Kid, a SuperThing and accessory.
Cashillion is a bank robbing villain who comes with his own claw weapon for stealing cash! He leads the Money Masters, a team of three baddies; Doctor Shunt, Crime Dime and Moneymore.
We got all four collectibles in our haul!
By the way, you can tell easily who’s a goodie and who’s a baddie because the villains have yellow eyes, whereas the heroes have white eyes!

SuperThings Rescue Force Starter Pack
We probably should have started here; the starter pack!
Inside the SuperThings Rescue Force Starter Pack you get a comic book guide to the new characters, one special chrome effect* SuperThing, a SuperThing and a special metal jet.
The comic book guide has a story and some games for children to solve.
At the back of the comic book guide is a list of all the collectibles, which my son has handily annotated.
*When it says ‘chrome effect’ it’s really more like a shiny jelly sheen, and not hard or metallic. Here is our collection of chrome effect SuperThings.
SuperThings Multipacks
The best value way to buy SuperThings, and the easiest way to ensure you snag yourself rare characters, is in the multipacks of 10 SuperThings or 6 items including 4 SuperThings, a Rescue Jet and a Jump Wing which you can use to propel your SuperThing across the room!
The ten pack guarantees you a special rare gold leader, while the six pack contains at least one silver captain, although who knows who you will get!
SuperThings Rescue Force Rescue Jets
The SuperThings Rescue Force Rescue Jets come in two pieces which you can slot together, which means if you have more than one colour you can mix and match.
They have wings which tuck in, then are deployed by a button on the back of the jet.
Each pack contains one jet and one SuperThings. The Rescue Jets have space for either a SuperThings character or a Kazoom Kid to slot into them, ready for battle.
SuperThings Series 10: Rescue Force review
My kids have loved collecting SuperThings since the first series and unlike many collectibles which are collected and displayed, there is a huge element of play with playsets and vehicles available which mean they get brought out again and again.
What’s great about this series of SuperThings unlike the older SuperZings series is that the packaging for the blind bags is now made from cardboard rather than plastic, which means it can be recycled. The boxes are also cardboard, and there isn’t as much waste in terms of collector’s lists etc which can all be found online or in the Comic Book Guide.
The prices haven’t increased since the first series with the single blister packs still priced at 80p.
How much and where to buy SuperThings
The SuperThings Rescue Force collection is out now at The Entertainer, Amazon and local supermarkets.
You can pick up single blind bags for 80p, and you can find them at the tills at Co-Op and other supermarkets. The starter pack is priced at £5.99, a pack of ten including a gold leader is priced at £9.99. The Kazoom Kids, which come with a SuperThing figure and an accessory, cost £5 each.
