"Lights camera action! I took so many photos of my kids with this toy. They all love it. It has lights that have different settings blinking sold blink fast ect! Great fun for all."

— Brenna

"My cat loves the toy, however she was able to rip it within just a day of having it. She’s not rough on her toys but this one is ripped in two spots. Not usable now because the wiring for the lights is now exposed. Would not recommend buying"

Bottom Line

If durability is not a significant concern, this toy can provide hours of fun. However, frequent breakages make it a less reliable long-term purchase. Consider it for occasional use or as a novelty item, but be prepared to replace it soon.
