McFarlane Toys Monzoo RC Shark Shark

This thing is awesome! Does what it says for sure. It uses 2 aaa batteries so when it dies we just change out the rechargeables and the fun doesn't stop. I won't let the kids change the batteries because those screws would be easy to strip on tightening. DON'T PICK UP BY THE TAIL. I'm not saying it's flimsy but the pivots aren't designed to take the stress. They could make it out of titanium but then it would be $300.00 and out of my price range. For what I paid, me and the cats think it's one of the best investments I've made of late. Is five stars too much? Yup shark shark has some be a little careful issues but all in all knowing that it's great fun.

My 5 year old son sleeps with this shark.I imagine the designers had a tough time coming up with a recommended age for this toy. My kids only are allowed to use it in the bathtub, but they love it anyway. Obviously, a younger child should not be allowed to use this unsupervised near a pool or open water. Also, the battery compartments require jewler's screwdrivers and a delicate touch. And the remote is not waterproof. All of these would lead to making this appropriate for older kids.But oh, how my son loves it. He squeals with delight as he tries to capsize a hapless Lego pirate in a rowboat and takes care to dry the shark off after use.If you have a young child who loves sea creatures and you're willing to closely supervise him/her, then this is perfect.

El juguete en sí es bueno diferente y divertido pero para un niño de 4 años no mucho porque el cuerpo del tiburón se quiebra y las piezas se pueden perder. La verdad me gusto el jugete pero mi niño es muy travieso y ya traia todas las piezas del tiburón tiradas porque es como un lego y sabia que no le iba durar nadaLo único que le cambiaría sería eso que las piezas del tiburón no se desplegarán como un lego. Si lo recomiendo para niños mayores de 6 años porque cuidaran más de este jugete

I wish I could give it a MINUS rating. This is the second one I bought for my 7 year old grandson. First one was from a large well known store. That one did not work at all. RETURNED!Second I got through this site. Worked ONE time. I thought switch had been left on and went to change the batteries (VERY DIFFICULT TO DO) and saw rust ! ???? Cleaned it up, put new batteries in and placed it in th water. NOTHING!!! Again with much difficulty opened up the battery area in the shark and rust an corrosion through out the area. All batteries were brand new. There is not a protective seal keeping water out of that compartment. AND, after all this time shark still falls apart prior to getting placed in water. Very poor quality.

The media could not be loaded. Actually controls like real shark would swim… got two different kinds for my boys on SHARKWEEK.. worked great in pool… this MODELwas a lot better than the other brand. Remote not being water proof is the only issue with kids using it by the pool… input the remotes on gallon zip locks which helped.. kids had fun “swimming with sharks” lol. It’s fun and the kids (3-6) were operating them fine.

I bought this from a recommendation from a friend. I was a bit underwhelmed. I think I invented how cool it could be in my head, so it was a bit of a let down. Putting the batteries in took 3 adults almost an hour the first time. Those screws were in impossibly tight. The tail fell off before it ever got to the pool. It snaps back easy but the shock definitely brought some tears. It doesn’t have precise steering. And it goes pretty slow, so you’re not going to chase it. And the first time the controller got wet, it stopped working. So, underwhelmed.

Very very cool toy but if there’s any hair or dirt in the pool or bath tub. It will break easily.

This product is very cheaply made for a McFarlane product. I ordered and after opening the box and putting the batteries in both the shark and remote the shark would not turn on or connect (moved the batteries from remote to shark and still wouldn’t connect but remote turned on both times). Got a replacement and worked for 2 nights and the remote stopped working this time. This was purchased for a 4 year old and they just wanted to play with the shark with or without remote otherwise id have returned completely
