Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy: (The Original) (RP Minis)

Pretty funny. Had to modify it to get it to work right.

Every time we pass one of these at a car dealer when driving my husband gets so excited. So when I saw this I had to buy it for his birthday. He is like a child and loves it. It sits on his desk. It is just like the big ones you see on the road. It is well made, durable, and a perfect size. It lasts a long time. We've had it for months now turning it on frequently and it still works. We even dropped it on the floor and it was not damaged or broken. It just keeps going. It does make a sound when it's on but it's not annoying or anything. This is a fun, unique, interesting gift to give to someone, child or adult.

BUY AN ADAPTER!!!! this does not work well with batteries. I was really disappointed with the power of the air and it did not make the guy stand up. Got an adapter and now it works as it should. Just like a big one. The folks who make this should just sell it with the adapter, it is a piece of junk to look at without it. 9V 1A AC DC 100V-240V Power Supply Adapter Cord for Arduino UNO MEGA, US Plug 5.5mm x 2.1mm & 2.5mm Brand: FlickerStar, this is 9.98 and works great with it!!

Cool concept however it barely worked for us but we still love it

Cute little toy but eats batteries, lol

I received this as a stocking stuffer from my wife... a small gag because of my love of a family guy gag. I open it - it needs a battery - common enough. But can I open the battery compartment with my hands? No! It is sealed with a tiny phillips head screw - too small to get a regular screwdriver into, requiring me to go to my tools to fish out a sufficiently small headed screw driver. I get it opened and go to where I have batteries, careful to hang onto the tiny screwdriver to close it. But does it need a common battery? No - it needs a 9V - the kind that I used to keep around for smoke detectors but now not even smoke detectors use them. So I have to scour the house for a 9V battery, still looking for this to but a smile on my face. I find one and put it in only to discover that in my battery search, I've set down the tiny screw driver which I have to find. Now to close it up. Lo and behold the battery compartment is not the type that unlocks but holds the screw... the tiny screw is completely gone. Lastly - my item completely didn't work. It was getting power because the fan would turn for little bit but there was no waving. This actually wouldn't get a 1 star review from me though because I understand that sometimes items are just defective or break in transit. What makes me write this is the experience of using this. This is an item that needs to just work with limited user setup - it's a gag after all. You can't have users for this chasing down special tools and relatively rarely used batteries. You may say, aren't these your own problems - I'd argue that these are the results of unforgivable design negligence. There is no way the makers of this product actually walked through the total user experience of using this item (which I remind you is a novelty product with no practical application - not a life saving device) from unboxing to end and decided this was acceptable. Instead of getting a chuckle (the intent of the item), I was absolutely enraged by the time I was ready to flip the power switch - and on Christmas morning.

Great for a gag gift for my cousin 🤣

very small, not good idea

9Ｖの四角い電池1つで動きます。 ちなみに電池は付いてないので別で用意する必要があります。 DCアダプターでも動かせますがこれも付いていないので別で用意する必要があります。 はじめは電池で試してみました。 問題なく動いてくれました。 次にDCアダプターで試してみましたが電池の時より元気に動いた気がしました。 アダプターだと電池の時みたいにパワーがなくなる心配がないのでその方が良いかもです。 あまり良くない評価の方もいるみたいなので当たりハズレがあるのかもですね。 猫に見せたら不思議そうにみてました。 買って良かったです。 商品はイギリスからB postで届きました。 商品を梱包してある封筒はボロボロでしたが(笑) 中身は無事でした。

This was such a fun gift that i got for my sister. It works well and i would definitely buy it again.

Very good

The product doesn’t work properly!!!! Waste of money
