Sea Animals Toy

UPDATE: About 2 years after purchase we still have half the fish “alive” and kicking. Perhaps a bit battered...okay, extremely battered, but they’re still playing with them! **Independent, non-compensated, verified.** I've got to admit, I'm pretty ticked off here. Not for the reason you think, though. If it's not free items in exchange for their "honest" (99% of the time glowingly positive) review, it's low ratings to products due to consumer oversight. PLEASE read in the description that this is an assortment of sea animals. You may not get exactly what is shown, so let them know if you got half a pack of one fish. AND it shows right on the display photos that there is filling in some of them so don’t expect them all to be solid - that would kind of defeat the purpose for a puffer. I hope the following is helpful in your decision to purchase, as I was very satisfied and will buy again...and am glad I didn’t listen to the one-stars. SUMMARY OF PROS/CONS: + Fun, SAFE toys + 7/10 durability +/- They DO stain (at first). After some use they stop, but a Magic Eraser will take it off. + Color-changers DO change color. + Educational, encourages imaginative play. + Anatomically pretty accurate. + Nice coloration and variety of color. + Stretchy beyond what is reasonable. + FABULOUS customer service. + Materials are as stated, and after cutting the puffer open (see short video) the padding really is tiny pieces of what seems to be paper. I tried to submerge them in water to see if they'd absorb and swell, and all they did was float for 24 hours. This was after my son ate some. (TMI TIME! He was fine and pooped them out.) ++GREAT REPLACEMENT FIDGET! I have two Autistic boys and they love them. - Octopus and those with tails are subject to amputation via toddler teeth. Any of the thinner areas are especially susceptible. Again, see the puffer fish video. If you have a very young one who likes to chew I would wait, as the fins could pose a choking risk if they can manage to get them off. The damage shown in the pictures (missing ray tail, etc.) was cause by a 3-year-old who knows to spit things out! Tips: IF you happen to get a set with little variety, don’t hesitate to contact them about the issue! The first shipment we received was pretty much 50% piranhas. I contacted customer service and received a new shipment with much more variety, AND an "apology fish" from their other product line of larger sea animals. It's the huge eel in the pics. Please see photos for examples, but please note, there were many more which were lost during our "testing" phase. Keep a Magic Eraser on-hand when you first get them out onto any surface. I recommend a good washing with soap and not to use them while wet on any valuable fabric until they’re “broken in”. Please let me know if this was helpful or if there’s any info I missed. I’ve missed out on a lot of good products and wasted money on bad ones due to oversight or inaccuracies in reviews.

I bought these for my 3 year old son who is animal obsessed! I was looking for some ocean animals that would work to play with in the bath and for normal play too. These are great! The rubber texture is so cool kids like the fact they are softer and stretchy, Big points for being solid and not filling with water they dry after bath time so quickly,. a great plus.. and no moldy toys! They float, perfect size, and a great mix of different creatures. In our 18 random selection we received a great variety. Ours included as pictured- octopus, 4 different sharks, a piranha, puffer fish, dolphin, 2 eels, sword fish, to name a few. We got 3 glow in the dark animals including a octopus. A sun light changing fish ( changes from white to pinky/ purple) a heat changing shark- it goes from blue to grey in warm water. The only negative point I can say is- they do leave marks on a white bath- this doesn't bother me personally as a quick rub with the magic eraser and they are gone but I can't take off a star for that as I think these are the best bath toys we have ever had. I'm actually going to order another pack as we like them that much! I just want to add I don't understand how anyone can give these a negative review, the price for the amount and the quality is amazing and also the paint finish, People should read the product description carefully and know this is a random selection, you get 18 ocean animals and the size are between 3.5-5 inches long. ***My review is my own review on the product I bought these with my own money and this review is not an "honest" positive review in exchange for a free product.

Ordered these for my 5 and 2 year old and they were a HUGE hit! I saved them for a road trip and gave them to the kids once we ran out of other options for entertaining them on the ride, and they were entertained for days with these toys! They played with them in their car seats, but also brought them into the hotel at night and played with them in the tub and on the bed, etc. Once we arrived at our destination, the toys continued to be a favorite of theirs. They've had them for weeks now, and still play with them every day. I will be ordering another set, since each pack is a random assortment, so they can add to their current one. I think they'll be excited to see what comes in the next pack. They have been perfect for summer play... We have taken them to the pool, on car rides, into the bath, on the porch, and the kids play with them around the house all the time. Such a perfect toy... Interesting to look at, insprires learning (because my son wants to know more about each sea creature, we research them) online and in books), and my children use quite a bit of creativity with these toys as well. Our set even came with a beta fish, which was really exciting for my children because we own a beta, and they thought it was so cool to get to hold and play with such a life-like replica of their fish. Totally a 5 star product. I intend on ordering some of the other animal sets as well, for birthdays and things throughout the year. For some reason "squishy" and rubbery toys have always been a big hit with my kids, and these well-made and detailed toys are great! *Took a photo of a few of them by my hand in order to give you a good idea of how big they are.

I ordered one of these 2 weeks ago, and one of the pieces came without a tail is there a way to contact the seller or return the broken piece for another piece? I really like the quality of this toy but I don't want to refund it

The price seemed a bit high for these sea creatures but other reviewers said there were great so I got them. Decorated a birthday cake with them and then they became bath toys which I gave the grandkids to take home. They LOVE them. They are squishy and good quality. Recommended for bath time or cake time FUN!

We have these in the bath and my daughter plays with them every night. It's been a great way for her to learn the names of sea animals. Since buying these she can now name every single creature! Highly recommend.

Some look better then others but looks good and will be great bath toys

These are great for the bath. But my girl has been carrying them around everywhere all day. She loves ocean creatures and these are perfect. Love that they are squishy. Update** we didn't know they were color changing!! She is sooo happy. And one glows in the dark
