My kid disappointed can't collect all
By dbml from palm desert, ca on 9/4/2009
Pros:
Engaging, Interactive
Best Uses:
Bathtime fun, Entertainment, Indoor, Young Children
Describe Yourself:
Grandparent
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My grand daughter loves her mermaid and wants to collect all of them and the pool playset. I had hoped to get all the ones she doesn't have as a Christmas gift but find I cannot rely on not getting the same one over and over again. Any suggestions?

Wild Planet Response:Characters are random and we have no control over which character is inside. It works just like collecting baseball cards.

Cons:
CHANCE OF DUPLICATES

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

i love these toys!!!!!! though there is a chance of duplicates. but i only have two for now, Adora and Calla. i've always been interested in mermaids and i always liked surprising things (like my meebas). there are different colors of wrappers on the the magic sea shells but that doesn't mean your going to get a certain mermaid. their tails change colors when you dip them in cold water. put it in warm water to change back. My point is that this toy is GREAT for any mermaid lover:)

I bought this while traveling and my daughter just loved it! I did have some trouble finding it when I got home. I am so glad to have the web site!This occupies her time in the bathtub and then all of her "girls" or mermaids play even longer than I had ever thought possible.

We recently had the privilege of playing with these fizzy & fun toys from Wild Planet. We knew that these toys would be a wee bit messy, so we took this adventure outdoors on the patio. With bowls filled with warm water... the fun began!

Gift ideas: These would make great stocking stuffers, birthday bag items, or a great little reward!
And for you teachers & physical therapists... these are GREAT for tactile senses!!!

Both my seven year old daughter and I were excited to receive or order so quickly. Seriously it was within two days! I was really happy to notice that although we purchased three refill shell memrmaids, none of them were the same. She is hoping to get the entire collection and she will if she keeps her room clean :). It is a nice reward for her to work for.

So cute, creative and fun!!!
By Susie from Mississippi on 3/2/2008
Pros:
Durable, Easy to Assemble, Educational, Interactive, Lots of Fun
Best Uses:
Entertainment, Indoor, Older Children, Outdoor, Young Children
Describe Yourself:
First Time Parent
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My daughter is 2 and she absolutely loves these adorable little mermaids. We bought the Pool playset first and she absolutely loved it. She took the shell and tossed it into the bathtub and was completely engulfed in watching it fizzly away to reveal the mermaid. We can't get her to put the mermaid down.

When we found a nice amount of them at the store we scooped them all up and found that she had a complete set after that purchase, with just one duplicate from the pool playset we had bought for her previously.

We look forward to them hopefully making another set of more mermaids for my daughter to watch fizzly in the tub!

We have 7 out of the 12 and getting the same one sucks, but that isn't the point. It's the fun and happness you see in their eyes.

My daughter got this mermaid as a special prize for going to the potty. She was so happy to see the mermaid appearing for the first time. Her favorite part is watching the tail magically change colors. She also enjoyed watching the fizzing action of the shell. Her goal now is to collect them all.
