Hog Wild Penguin Ball Popper Toy - Includes 4 Soft Foam Balls - Squeeze to Pop Air Powered Balls Up to 20 Feet - Launcher Safe for Indoor/Outdoor Play - Party Favor Gift for Kids, Girls, Boys Ages 5+

I hadn't purchased any of these popper in years. When I was still working, my nephew gave me one as a way to relieve frustration. When I was getting ready to retire, I purchased about 16 of them to give to coworkers in my department and to another with which I closely worked. They were all different critters. The balls are soft foam but not squishy at all. When you fire one, there is not enough air pressure to cause any discomfort should it hit a live target. I also don't think it can knock a knick-knack off a shelf and cause breakage. It's the perfect toy to relieve frustration and for play. Entertaining for a little one who can squeeze hard enough to release a ball and a source of pleasant devilry for the inner child of an adult. They are obviously more expensive than what I paid for them almost 13 years ago, but not exorbitantly so. I bought 2 of them, the penguin and the axolotl for my son and his wife for the purpose of playing with their fur babies. The balls are too small for play with dogs, but are perfect for cats.

I love this toy! This is the second one I have bought. I’m a speech. Therapist and I use a lot of toys in my daily use. I love this dog toy and the unicorn version of this. It’s so much fun to work on teaching new words and easy for repetition. The colors are bright the toy holds up really well. I’ve had the unicorn version for three years and I still love it. The balls are small, so be sure to not to lose them. Lol. The only negative I could give is that when the ball is pushed all the way in sometimes it’s hard for your children to squeeze the toy to pop it out. But it’s a really great toy overall!

these dinos give a big pop... fun for the 6 year old!

I purchased the dog version of this popper, originally, as a gift for my daughter after a traveling several months ago. She was 8 at the time, and my son was 7. After I looked at it, and saw exactly what it was, I thought "Wow, this is going to be an absolute BLAST" for my kids and for my husband and I. I couldn't wait to get home and have an all out pop ball war... So upon returning home, I immediately purchased several other models of these poppers, bear, moose, pig, etc.. and several additional ball sets in different colors so we could keep them separate. I even purchased one for my daughter's best friend so there wouldn't be any fighting over them, and everyone would have one and could just go at it, having a pop ball fight. I really envisioned this being a massive hoot! My husband and I had the most fun with it I think. The kids played with them initially for a couple days but now no one ever touches them! I'm actually amazed by this as the toy seems to be just so dang fun! My son somehow keeps pushing the little foam balls too deeply into the hole causing us to have to dig them out and once this happens, the balls have small pits that won't allow for the right amount of suction, where they won't pop out right, so they're basically ruined. Really, my two kids, as well as my daughter's best friend, never use them at all anymore, and never really did. They are the kind of kids that like to take all the beanie baby collection (about 100)and have huge throw wars with them with my husband which makes my house look like a beanie massacre occurred, so they are definitely into playing in this manner. So I don't actually get it... But these pop ball toys are not used, and even if I suggest having a pop ball war, they just aren't into it... So I have no idea... I guess this isn't actually a useful review, but I guess I would suggest not doing as I did, buying one of each model and ball sets in every color made, right off the bat. See if they like them first and then...

Fun toy for a kid
