The Ben 10 cartoon is about 10-year old Ben Tennyson who stumbles upon the Omnitrix that allows him to become 10 different aliens. Ben uses these aliens to fight crime committed by alien enemies and other wacky villains.

Ben fights these evil villains with the help of his grandpa, Max and cousin, Gwen. They run into strange evil characters, such as Vilgax, who is after the Omnitrix, Dr. Animo the mad scientist, and vampire clown, Zombozo. Cartoon Network produces Ben 10, which originally aired December 2005.

Ben was just an ordinary boy when he spent the summer with his grandpa and cousin on a camping trip. After fighting with Gwen, Ben retreats into the woods and stumbles upon an alien pod that look like a watch. This mysterious watch-like pod contains alien DNA and allows people to live like an alien. The Omnitrix, as it is called, permanently attached itself to Ben, giving him the ability to be one of 10 different aliens. Ben can change into one of these aliens by a control dial, but Azmuth, the original creator of the Omnitrix, placed safeguards so that the Omnitrix will only work properly for the Master Control. Ben must get used to constant alien changes and other unpredictable controls from the Omnitrix.

Ben 10: Alien Force is a sequel to the original Ben 10 cartoon. It takes place five years after Ben discovers the Omnitrix. This series began airing on Cartoon Network in April 2008. Cartoon Network Upfront confirmed the new series, Ben 10: Evolutions, which will follow 16-year old Ben as a well-known hero. In this new series, Ben has a new Omnitrix that will take him to new and mysterious places.

No cartoon is successful without action figures and assorted toys. Ben 10 action figures come in several different characters and playsets. Bandai® creates the classic Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force action figures. You can buy each alien Ben morphs into, such as Heatblast, Diamondhead, Four Arms, Upgrade, Stinkfly, Wildmut, and others. The DNA Alien Heros collection action figures can ooze DNA slime bubbles or other features. Each alien has its own unique features. The Meta-Morfigures can become two different toys; each one with a different feature. Alien Creatures resemble the look of each different alien, and comes with a 4" version of the matching alien.

You can also find other Ben 10 toys, such as an Omnitrix watch that can change aliens or battle villains, an alien voice changer that allows the user to be the voice of Greymatter, Heatblast, or Four Arms. Other alien voices come with a second voice changing set. Transforming Arms sets allow the user to snap on an alien arm, which comes with sound effects and phrases. The Vilgax Battle Planet is a battle ground that allows different game play using 1" or 4" action figures.

Ben 10: Alien Force action figures include new alien creatures, new DNA aliens, an r/c car, action cruiser, and an Omnitrix Illuminator. This Omnitrix can project aliens and other scenes from the latest season of Ben 10 on a wall or any other surface.
