It wasn't a boomerang-x

It wasn't a boomerang-x, but other than that it is ok. I prefer the original product. The different screw is nice

The description says this toy "will fly up in the air", but you have to toss it up, it flutters for a second and falls to the ground.
I didn't expect much from a rubber band-powered toy, but it made my son happy and that's all that matters.

The jello didn't turn out to look like dinosaurs

I wanted the non-axial helicopter. I guess I wasn't ready for one since they require more skill. Worked OK inside but dive-bombed into the grass and that was the end. The copter looks great and ran up great ... but the operator wasn't great!

The sound of this toy is fun--sounds like a genuine duck. The duck as slingshot is not as fun. It is difficult to get fingers into the area that is used to help launch the duck and if you have little kids, it will be near impossible. So we used them by holding onto the head of the duck (instead of inserting our fingers into the neck of the duck) and launching it that way. It worked, but not as well as it was advertised. Maybe we got a launch of about 10 feet, from most of the kids who tried. Also, on the package directions, the legs of the duck are show to be attached to the body of the duck with elastic bands, which you pull back in order to launch. However, the legs of the duck are actually sewn onto the body and I can see that in time the stitching will loosen and the legs will fall off. Further, if the legs were on elastic bands, the duck would launch farther. Only the head is attached with elastic. Was hoping for more, but at least I got a good quack out of it.

The product I received was not a rectangle, it was not an oval, it was a hybrid of the two. I had to return it.

This was not the one that I was looking for.  The one that I view did not have ballerinas dancing in toe shoes in it.

I was looking to buy a few inexpensive kites to add to my collection and I saw this and the reviews seemed decent so I thought I'd give it a shot.

When I opened the box, I was again a little dubious.  The bag is not as pictured.  It is made of the same material as the kite, so think paper thin nylon with a thin, thread-like drawstring.  the bag was also smaller than I had pictured.

The kite is almost exactly as pictured.  Mine is a little more purple than the magenta pictured but it was close enough and I was pleased with how it looked.  There were some small water spot-like marks on it where I assume some liquid came into contact with it during manufacturing.  It's not a big deal and I suspect if I take a damp cloth to it, they will come off.  It's not enough to make me want to send it back or even make me unhappy, just mentioning it out of thoroughness.

There were no instructions with the kite.  Again I was feeling doubtful.  I've had airfoil kites before, so the number of spaghetti strings coming off it did not scare me, but they didn't give instructions on where to even attach the provided line.  I tied a big loop in the end and used a lark's head knot above the last knot in the lines of the kite, but in future I will add a paracord loop to the end of the line for this kite because some kite string can cut other strings if they rub together so it's best to attach them with something thicker like paracord.

Having attached the provided string to the lines and untying the tails and letting them go, I held it while the foils filled and let 'er go.  The wind was not really strong, maybe 8mph at most on the ground, a little higher above the trees.  I was STUNNED when this thing took off right away and flew perfectly.  On this day we had brought 4 kites to the field and had no luck with the other 3 (one was a mechanical problem).  They just didn't want to fly in those conditions.  I think the wind was too light for them.  This one flew perfect.  I am not even kidding when I say I was stunned.  After struggling with our other kites for over an hour, it was so much fun to just sit back and watch this one fly lazily just like it was meant to.  It also pulled surprisingly hard if a small gust came along - which made it even more fun.

This is a solid kite in the right conditions.  For us, it was about 8 mph winds.  This kite will be a staple of mine when I want to just fly a lazy kite, or one I can just tie off and let it do its thing.

Cheap?  I read a lot saying this kite is cheap junk.  You get what you pay for.  It's not an $80 kite.  The material IS thin, but it's meant to be thin.  If it was thicker it wouldn't perform as well.  Fly it in reasonable conditions and the thin material it's made of won't be an issue.  If you beat it up in high winds then I'm not sure how long it'll last. For me, I can see this kite lasting a long time for me because I take care of my things and know when to leave this one in the bag.

The bag is okay.  It's not great, but again this is an inexpensive kite.  It's not going to come with a super fancy bag.

The line provided is probably the weakest point.  It worked, but I would like to use better line with this.  I don't like the little handle things or cheap kite line.  But again, it was EXACLTY what I expected given the price.

Putting it away was another problem for me, the airfoil kites I have had have a loop to attach the mess of lines to so it doesn't get tangled.  This one doesn't.  just be careful not to let the many lines on the kite get tangled because that is a recipe for frustration.

If you're on the fence on this one, I'd say for the price, give it a shot.  If it doesn't fly well for you, try it in different conditions.  I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how this kite flew for me and I am 100% glad I bought it.

It doesn't have mobility in the hands or elbows or knees like it seemed from the picture. It is the basic model

Based on  Benson Leung's technical testing of the parts, this is not to Type C specifications.

I've had to spend a great deal of time "tuning" the boomerang to fly right. It was poorly molded, and came with warped wings that had to be flattened and re-bent to have the proper dihedral. After that, it flies just fine.

I don't remember the similarly-shaped Darnell boomerang that came with my old book needing that much work.

The area at the bottom of the rim didn't raise up that way, it was taking different shape, something steady would help.

Be warned this product is a "Throwing Axe" not a hatchet.
