Which Mighty Pups toy is best?

The Mighty Pups are a team of superhero dogs from the TV show “Paw Patrol.” The Paw Patrol was on the scene when a meteor came crashing down to earth. The glowing meteor’s powerful energy blasted the Harold and the Pups, giving them super powers.

Most Mighty Pup toys involve a transforming vehicle with the character who drives it. Marshall's Transforming Fire Truck is a top choice.

What to know before you buy Mighty Pups toys

The Paw Patrol team members

• Ryder: Ryder is the 10-year-old boy who is the leader of the Paw Patrol. When emergencies arise, Ryder summons the Mighty Pups and leads them on their missions to help the citizens of Adventure Bay. Ryder taught each of the pups to do one particular task and invented all the gadgets they use. He wears a high tech red, white and blue jacket and vest with the Paw Patrol logo. Ryder is kind, caring and always willing to help others while asking for nothing in return.
• Chase: Chase takes over when Ryder is busy. He has super speed and is so fast he needs a special gadget that deploys a parachute to help him slow down and stop, much like the superhero Flash. When charged up, Chase gains a super powered bark.
• Rubble: After the meteor, Rubble is now able to lift heavy objects with his super strength, like the Hulk and Mr. Incredible. When charged up, Rubble can roll into a ball to protect himself or knock things down.
• Marshall: Marshall can create heat from his paws. When a fire needs to be put out, he uses his bubble pack to save the day. When charged up, he gains the ability to leap super high, like Superman.
• Rocky: The meteor gave Rocky the power to make green energy tools of all kinds with his paws. When he’s charged up, he gains x-ray vision, just like Superman and Supergirl. 
• Zuma: This Mighty Pup can shoot water from his paws and when he’s out on the ocean with his surfboard, he can control the ocean waves, like Aquaman. When he’s charged up, Zuma creates energy bubbles to trap people and things, just like Bubble Boy.
• Skye: Since being blasted by the meteor, Skye has the ability to fly on the wind, controlling herself in mid-air with her wind rider wings, like Wonder Woman and Red Tornado. When charged up, Skye can control the weather, just like Weather Woman and Storm.

The villains

• Harold Humdinger wants to gain enough power to rule over Adventure Bay, the Mighty Pups’ hometown. Harold was also on the scene when the meteor crashed and he gained the power to create any gadget, machine or tool he wanted with his newly energized hands.
• Ladybird uses a device with a bird’s head to grab anything shiny she sees. She came upon a fragment of the meteor that gave her the super strength and the ability to fly. Ladybird wears a bird suit and lives in a giant metal nest that is equipped with a laser security system.
• Copycat is a cat originally named Mr. Nibbles and was a pet of an Adventure Bay reporter. Copycat sneaked into the Mighty Meteor Containment Area, where he got a piece of the meteor stuck in his teeth. That piece of meteor also gave him the very same powers as the Mighty Pups.
