Kid Galaxy Morphibians Shark

Comment: This toy was a waste of money. It advertises that it can go in water, which my boy was very excited about. It broke in 5 minutes.

Comment: After reading some reviews on amazon...I decided to buy one of the Morphibians. I orginally bought the red, buggy-stlyed car. The description Amazon publishes says "working headlights" for all models...However, after realizing the headlights were painted and did not light up on that model, I sent it back. It's been almost two weeks and no refund yet. I did; however, read the Return Policy for Amazon.com today. It says not to get worried until after 4 weeks!

Anyway, back to the review of the toy -- I immediately ordered the Shark model as all the customer reviews I read also said the headlights worked on this model. Well, to my surprise as I took it out to put batteries in it, I realized the headlights on this one were painted too -- they DO NOT LIGHT UP!

At this point, I just continued what I was doing because my 2 1/2-year-old didn't know they were supposed to light up. Plus, he had seen it at this point. He was excited because it replaced a Tonka RC toy that sadly, died. So I opened the battery compartment and put in some batteries. I gave what was intended to be a brief demonstration that turned into a few minutes of goofing off.

My son thought it was cool. After allowing him a chance to use it -- I realized his confusion with the controls. I read about the controller and was somewhat prepared for my initial test runs. He, despite my explanations, was a bit confused. He'd just began to master the way "normal" controls work and this "tank drive" threw him for a loop. I will say, the next time he played with it, he was a bit more adjusted to steering it properly.

All in all, it does what it says -- besides having working headlights!! We drove it up a ramp I made and in into his kiddie pool. It moved around in it well enough -- not great, but not bad. It doesn't do so well in grass but handles most other surfaces impressively. This not a fast car. It is entertaining...and most importantly -- my son likes it. Though, I am a bit pissed at the false description on Amazon...it is a fun toy that seems durable.

Comment: I bought two Morphibians and they both works great. I bought my son the Shark and my daughter the Killer whale. They both enjoy their cars and it is fun to run them together, they have not tried to run them in the water because we only have a pool to try this and I would not try to risk damaging them because of waves in the pool.

The other problem I have with the RC car was it stated " WORKING HEADLIGHTS" on the Amazon site, but it does not have ANY working headlights just painted on headlights. MISLEADING !

Comment: These little guys blast around, the batteries seem to last for hours and hours and are the best thing that I could find before stepping up to close to $100 for much higher-end toys. My 4 year-old son hasn't really mastered the steering yet but the toys are great.

Comment: We bought this for his second birthday. It does stop sometimes, then you have to turn it off and on again. Tell your kid(s) right away not to lift it by the antenna, but by the wheels.
