Ben 10 Backpacks

The incredible success of the Cartoon Networks' Ben 10 translates into the growing popularity of the Ben 10 backpacks.

The animated television series, Ben 10, debuted on December 27, 2005 and has been growing in popularity ever since. During the pilot episode, Ben Tennyson is on a camping trip with his cousin Gwen and their grandfather, Maxwell. It is during this camping trip that Ben finds himself embroiled in yet another feud with Gwen. Furious, Ben stomps off into the woods to cool off, and it is there that he finds something that radically transforms his life - the Omnitrix.

A hybrid watch and bracelet attaches itself to Ben's wrist, effectively giving him the ability to transform into different types of alien life-forms. The real drama, however, comes with the fact that each of these "life-forms" comes equipped with unique superpowers. Armed with these new powers, Ben, Gwen and grandfather Max head out to fight crime both here on earth, and in outer space.

You can find Ben 10 backpacks at the following online shopping sites:

• The Cartoon Network: Arguably, the best place to purchase this backpack is at the place that started the phenomenon, the Cartoon Network. One of the key factors that separates this site from some of the others is the fact that the customer reviews are extensive and seemingly honest.

Most parents give high marks to this bag (their children love it), but they do state that the bag seems to be constructed poorly. One reviewer claims that it's really "not that durable". With this in mind, it may be best to buy two of these bags and have one as a backup. At this site, you can expect to pay $19.95 for this backpack.

• Target: Target features a look that unlike the bag featured at the Cartoon Network, actually says "Ben 10" on it, so that's an added detail that some children may really appreciate. This $15.99 bag also features adjustable straps for added comfort.

• Wal-Mart: Wal-Mart's backpack features a close-up of Ben himself, as well as a close-up of his watch. "Ben 10 Alien Force" is spelled out on the bag in a bright, lime green. Along with its adjustable shoulder straps, you'll also find a Velcro strap option. This allows the wearer to carry the backpack "skate" style. Available for $15.00.

• Ty's Toy Box: This backpack really stands out because it's a blue bag with black trim, and it has many more side compartments than some of the bags on the other sites. For example, there is one large main zippered compartment for the child's large notebooks, a small zippered compartment for smaller items, and two side mesh compartments that are ideal for holding a juice drink, or other school supplies. You can purchase this bag for $14.95.

• Attamii.com: Attamii's $14.95 bag, thanks in large part to the very detailed Ben picture on the front of the pack, may be best suited for younger children (first graders and/or second graders).

While there are no customer reviews on this site, similar to Cartoon Network's site, the description of the bag is written in a comical way. For example, a "warning" is listed that states, "This will be one highly coveted piece of fighting gear. Do not let this bag out of your sight for a minute!"

Additionally, some of these tips may help you choose the best backpack:

• Shop Around: Try not to purchase the first bag you see; there are many different styles, so you might want to take your time before choosing one.

• Ask the Kids: Additionally, show all of the different styles to the child (children) for whom you are purchasing. There are many different images on these bags, so the kids will definitely want to voice their opinion!

• Shop Early: Due to the extreme popularity of these bags, it may be best to shop early. If you wait until "back to school" time, you may find that the style you wanted is sold out.

This is a very popular carton, so it makes sense that children everywhere are clamoring for this particular style of backpack. The good news is that it's widely available, so finding just the right one shouldn't be too much of a problem.
