Duncan Toys Mega Bounce XL Inflatable Ball, 100 in Circumference, Blue/Red

This amazing piece of circular rubber is the most versatile toy that I have EVER purchased for my children. After them nagging me for weeks to get a Megabounce inflatable ball, I finally caved into the pressure, collecting my nickels together and purchased one. First of all, Megabounce is an incredible to way to give your kids some cardio on a hot summer day. With the vastly undersized and underpowered hand/foot pump that comes with the Megabounce, your children will be wheezing and sweaty in no time as they spend roughly an hour inflating Megabounce with tiny puffs from the pump. If you’re like me and have lazy children, this is a great way to get their blood moving. Second, if grandma’s heart hasn’t recovered from the drone you purchased last Christmas and flew at her, then Megabounce will certainly stop or restart it again for you! But be prepared as launching the Megabounce into your yard is a lot liking throwing a grenade out of a foxhole in World War II – both go BOOM just moments after you huck them – the difference is that a WW II grenade is designed to explode on a timer, while the Megabounce is designed to explode as soon as it touches virtually anything!!!! – in our case it was the first time that it touched the grass in our yard. But if you don’t have grass, don’t worry as based upon the other reviews of highly satisfied customers, I am pretty certain that Megabounce will explode when it touches other things in your house, such as furniture, a child’s fingernail, or even a shag rug! If having an expensive toy explode within seconds of playing with it isn’t enough for you, don’t avail as there are still tons of residual uses for your Megabounce detritus. We’ve had countless hours of entertainment using our Megabounce leftovers in such creative ways as (see attached photos or Megabounce in action!): - A rain hat - A Halloween costume - A name tag for any friends named “Meg”, “Mega” or "Ounce" - A flag - Tug-o-war - Capture-the-Flag - Hide-and-Seek (must be creative) - Emergency water carrier (as long as you don’t need much) - Dog chew toy (but don’t let Rover spend too much time on it though) - Slingshot (inaccurate so stay away from windows) - Trash can liner - A whip - Emergency shelter Honestly, with so many uses of the Megabounce ball, I don’t know why the company even puts the word “Bounce” into the name. It could just as easily be marketed as the Megatoy; MegaMindPutty; MegaMorph; MegaMega; and MegaTrash

I truly don’t like writing negative reviews, however, after two Duncan balls, I feel obligated to share my truth about this product. I returned the first ball due to it popping out of nowhere. (Yes I followed instructions and blew it up accordingly.) second ball arrived, and there was a micro sized hole in it. I purchased patches (which Duncan does not provide; wish they did) and I attempted to fix the hole. But after about an hour, the ball was just sitting outside, and I see it pop all by itself. So, I am returning the second ball, and I will try another brand. My son really likes the idea of the ball, so I will try and find a better quality ball. Very disappointed with Duncan’s product.

I originally got this awesome bouncy ball for my 5 year old, and while she likes it, she prefers one that’s a bit smaller. I’d say this ball is (roughly) almost twice as big as a ball you would see in a gym. Only because of its size, I’ve been using it more than my child, ha. I use it as a computer chair pretty much daily at home. I’m a 5’9” lady, and I can sit on it (both feet on the ground) without issue. It’s very bouncy too, if you bounce your butt on it, you kinda feel like you’re on a trampoline, so much fun. On that note, I’ve bounced on it pretty hard, full weight and all, working up a sweat in the process, and it has yet to pop. If I remember, the booklet inside the box says to “not sit on it”. This has to be for liability reasons only, because I’ve bounced my 140 pound adult bum on it without holding anything back, and it handles me just fine. Not sure how they can expect anyone to NOT sit on it, it’s extremely bouncy and “springy” and just too much fun not to. Definitely recommended for kids and adults alike. —Ashley

Grandkids are really enjoying this big ball. 3 yo boy likes to chase after it, throw himself up on it and flip over. :O Seems to be quite sturdy; we were playing with it outside. Tiny 2 yo girl likes to bounce on top if it (with help).

Beware! This is the second Duncan ball we've bought. Tons of fun, so when the first one blew, we ordered it again. We didn't blow it up to 100 cm as recommended, thinking that caused the blowout. It took 30 minutes to inflate with the foot pump provided and then only lasted about 5 minutes of play. Eight year old granddaughter was devastated.

Excellent fun

This ball is a lot of fun, but it did pop by flying into a bush.

I read other reviews warning buyers that this ball would pop. Thought I was going to be different. It took us longer to pump up the ball with the included foot pump than the time my son had to play with it. Once you get the ball inflated to the right size, you are too scared to play with it thinking anything will pop it. Had this ball inflated about 15 mins. My son went inside the house and returned to the broken ball. Terrible product. If your thinking of buying this, find something more durable. This was a total waste of time and money.

Excellent quality and texture!
