Kid Galaxy Morphibians Shark

Kinda cheap, but don't feel jipped on the price. It is intuitively easy for my 26 m/o son to use the compact size remote The little thing is 4wd witch 1 axis control for each side independently. Never-the-less he opened it Christmas Day. I installed new batteries 1.6v each tested before installing. He dropped the remove once from about 2 feet. Suddenly the remote LED stopped coming on indicating it was not xmitting. I disassembled the remote w/ about 7 screws and found a poor soldering work throughout from the battery compartment to the controller board. I put it back together with my soldering tool. Presto fixed!!! Then the 1st use in the bath tub the car is not water-proof around the axles(pretty much means its not good for the water like advertised) I disassembled the car and found more poor soldering work. Tested voltages throughout circuits and deduced the motor coils had become flooded. We let the toy dry out overnight and put it back together...Presto it is working. Most parents wouldn't go this far but my son has so much fun with it and is very simple circuitry. Over all good value for a 24 m/o to maybe 7 y/o!

My 5-year-old son loves this toy!It’s easy to use. It only took him a few minutes to get the hang of it. He couldn’t wait to take it outside. He ran it all the way around our house, down our driveway, on the dirt path on side of our house, across our bumpy stone patio and back again. He also takes it down to the little creek behind our house (when I’m with him). It’s only about 6 inches deep, but he has a great time driving in and out the water.I love that he can drive it almost anywhere, indoors and outside. He and his friend had a great time playing outside in light rain the other day. He’s getting more exercise playing with this toy and chasing it around then almost any other.His sister, who’s 4, always wants to try. She’s able to use it just fine. I’d like to get her her own Morphibians. I just need to pick one that can be used at the same time. This car is 27 MHz. So I need to find one that’s a different frequency.

I bought a couple things like this a few years ago for my sister's kids and they were awesome. So I got these for my own kids, and thought I had found the same toy. But this is not the same toy. They are cheap, poorly put together and break easily. They are hard for little kids to drive as it takes some coordination to use the controllers that adults would find challenging at first. Maybe if the toys worked right my kids would have got it, but early on one of the wheels did not respond to the controller's commands, and soon one whole side stopped working.I think the original toy that I bought for my sister's kids was made by Fisher Price and was solid. But they discontinued them. This is some knock off, not a recognized brand. They came in plain cardboard boxes with instructions in English and what I think may have been Chinese (not sure). If you can find these made by a recognized vendor, get them. They are awesome. But this knock off version does not last. :(

I purchased this is a Christmas present for my son, and thankfully I took it out to put batteries in and test it before Christmas morning because it barely worked and I had to send it back. I made sure that it had new batteries of the same brand as the instructions said, but the car would not move unless you got about an inch or two away from it, then it would only go for about a foot before it stopped and you'd have to get real close to it again. As you can imagine, it was pretty frustrating! For a toddler it would have been basically useless.I'm not sure if this is a design flaw (I didn't see anyone else complain of the same issue) or if I just got a defective unit. Either way, I'm not terribly impressed.

I bought two so we could play soccer in the pool, they're very slow in water but fun and rugged. My daughter panicked and submerged one multiple times.. And it still worked fine (don't do this: they're meant to go on top of the water like a boat, not meant to submerge). The controllers are not waterproof, one got water inside but I opened it, let it air dry, and it was fine. I would avoid salt water, I'm pretty sure that would kill them. I bought them used from Amazon warehouse deals for around $10 and $15, perfect condition. I'm not sure I would pay full price though, not sure they're worth that much

My five year old loves this and told me it was his favorite birthday present. I guess I didn't need to buy him those expensive Legos and playmobil sets! 😊 It does take a little practice because it isn't like a traditional joystick. You have two levers and push both to go straight, to turn left you move right one forward etc. I don't have issues because it's like the riding mower I used as a child. My son doesn't know better so he's fine. The 7 year old neighbor boy who has a different kind thought it was too hard and gave up quickly. So if it's a first remote controlled vehicle for your kids I think they'll be fine and maybe more flexible in the future as well.

My 4 year old had trouble with the controls, ie pushing both levers forward to go straight, just one to turn. Granted he is four.Unfortunately the remote isn't even waterproof a little bit, and after taking it out in the rain the first day we had it the remote konked out.I would buy this for an older kid and make sure the remote stays absolutely dry if you are thinking about purchasing it.

Giving this as a gift so i haven't actually seen if it works yet....the only thing that stinks is that in the description on amazon it says it goes in the water. So i thought great the kid im buying this for has a pool in yard - this will be perfect. It says to only use it in Fresh Water with little or no current....so the kid i got this for has a Salt Water pool in the yard....wish it would have said the whole thing about the Fresh Water in the description.
