Rainbow loom 494 R0003 Official Monster Tail

Was excited when I received this as I have wanted it since it came out. I am happy to report that I received a genuine loom with an anti-counterfeit code which allowed me access to the members area of the official website. It's a great shame that some folks have received the fake versions. The Monster Tail is a great product, and comes with instructions, mixed coloured bands, c clips and a hook. The hook is a plastic one, but has the new style mini loom included which I hadn't had before now, and I am sure will come in handy. The loom has the usual quality of all the official products, well put together, sturdy, and nice smooth pins. At 33, I am older doing this wonderful hobby and like with my other hobbies, I like to have the best tools I can. There are a lot of generic make looms on the market, but I have only ever used the Rainbow Loom, as it is far superior. It may be tempting to buy cheaper or fake ones, but really, the official products are worth every penny. Using the Monster Tail is nice and simple. You can still make some of the bracelets on the normal loom, but the spacing between the pins on this make it easier for your bracelets to pass down through the middle as you work (the main reason I wanted it), and its size is nice to handle and obviously more portable. The side of the pins you hook from are on the outside, so it's nice and easy to see what you are doing. It's perfect and quick for getting out whilst on the sofa, and if you have not got alternate storage for your bands, the box has a little compartment to keep your loose bands in, that has a plastic 'lid', so you can easily have it by your side whilst working on your creations with it not taking up much space. I've already created lots of new bracelets on this using the included bands, it's especially good for chunkier styles. It also includes some of the new bigger C clips which you will definitely need for some of the bracelet styles you can create. Personally, I use metal jump rings to close them off more permanently. I would certainly recommend this to loomers of any age, young or old, and to those who have not previously used loom bands, it would be a nice one to get started with. I have two of the full-sized looms as well, and this is a great addition to my collection.

This is the best little loom (and easiest I know of) that kids can start to use to make bracelets with although be aware that it is designed specifically to make variations of Tail bracelets i.e. fishtails, quad tails etc of which there are stacks of variations on design - just look on YouTube for some awesome patterns to make. Unlike the large standard Rainbow loom, this one is highly portable and easy to take wherever kids go so good for journeys: car, plane, train and for getting out in a cafe or even restaurant when children get understandably bored in waiting for adults to hurry up! A lot of children learn how to make these bracelets by making them on their fingers - this board mimics that process which makes it easier for kids to understand and it enhances that since it provides 8 pegs to work on instead of 5 digits on a hand. That allows for a lot more design options. My 7 year old did not get the standard loom at all - but she understood how to use this monster tail one straightaway and made quite a tricky bracelet on her first attempt just by looking at the photo instructions. I think it gives a great deal with the board, official bands and the special hook that you use to latch on to the bands and pull them over the pegs. It has given hours of fun and despite being a cheap present for my daughter's birthday, it was actually her favorite one. Fab craft toy.

A great little present. All you need and instructions!

This is perfect for any loomer, new and old alike. I bought with Fun Collectables and despite it being more expensive being sold by them (by 29p), I have trust in them and was sent a genuine product one day before estimated delivery! This comes with the new & improved mini loom but also comes with the plastic hook. Due to the hook being plastic, I would recommend to people that they either: buy a rainbow loom brand metal hook OR don't make designs that put a lot of strain on the hook (this could break the hook). I was interested to see the large "C" clips as monster tail designs are generally very bulky and require more space in a clip and/or another clip for one bracelet. Well, I'll tell you that the large "C" clips are probably approx. twice the size or regular "C" clips and work marvellously. The loom is very strong and has the red dot, and the anti - counterfeit code in the manual works AS LONG AS you enter it into the website THE EXACT SAME WAY as it is on the manual! :) My only complaint is that the loom its self is half the price in America, but even if you did buy it from the rainbow loom webstore (and believe me - I've looked) the shipping & handling costs are horrendous. On the whole, the quality is fantastic, it's genuine and the delivery is quick!

I love making loom band bracelets and so far my best technique is the fishtail pattern. I tried making a triple fishtail loom bracelet on my existing loom board by following a tutorial on YouTube but to no avail. Eventually I found another video tutorial on YouTube that featured the Rainbow Loom Monster Tail, which made it look like the easiest way to make a triple fishtail bracelet. After having watched the video, I searched the web to see if I could buy it on Amazon and I could for a reasonable £6.99. I ordered it and it was delivered to my local Amazon Locker the following day. Soon I started making a triple fishtail loom bracelet on the monster tail loom and although it took me four attempts to get it right I was pleased with the result. The kit is a good compact size that may come in useful for travelling and the plastic hook that came with it was better than those that came with the several loom band packs I had purchased although I soon switched to a metal Rainbow Loom hook. I also liked the generously sized C-clips as well as the mini loom that comes in handy for making single fishtail loom bracelets. I haven't used the bands that came with the kit yet because I still have several to go through. Overall excellent product so far, reasonably priced and quick delivery too. 5/5

The product is cool as you make slightly different styled bands but its roughly the same as the original bands designs/ styles and isn't that much of a big deal. As well as that it is a bit pricey too for what you get. But over all a decent product.

I am 68, and NOT a grandmother, so I don't have that as an excuse for playing with loom bands. I make bracelets for sale at a local craft fair, so am always on the lookout for something that might sell. I recently discovered loom bands, and am having a great time with them. I bought an official Rainbow Loom loom, which is great, but a little cumbersome for making 2-pin or 4-pin designs. This Monster Tail loom is perfect for these, as it is small enough to sit in the palm of my hand. It also leaves my large loom free for when I get fed up with the design I am doing and want to switch to something else! My one gripe (also with the big loom) is the anticounterfeit code, I am going to have to buy a magnifying glass to read it! All in all, a great little piece of kit. Recommended.

as described.. very good value, hours of fun.. but beware its an anvanced toy .. took me ages to learn befor show my niece how to do a simple band and she found it too complicated using the plastic kit provided instead she just made them using her fingers.. but hopefully in time she will learn.. but i found it a great toy... I say 9 - 12 is the age range but i enjoyed making the different designs and im 27 .. so who knows but all i found it was too advanced for my 7 year old niece although she still enjoys the product and me making them for her

Il prodotto arriva in una piccola scatola sigillata, e corrisponde perfettamente a quanto indicato nella descrizione; contiene una bustina con tanti elastici di diversi colori, un'altra più piccola con dei gancetti in plastica trasparente per chiudere i braccialetti, un piccolo telaio, un uncinetto in plastica e un altro telaio a Y (è la parte che copre l'uncinetto), un piccolo libretto di istruzioni. Gli elastici sembrano di buona qualità, mia figlia ha fatto e disfatto braccialetti diverse volte e non si sono rotti; il libretto contiene solo 2 modelli (un po' complessi) da realizzare con il telaio trasparente, con istruzioni in inglese e francese. Mia figlia però conosceva già, attraverso tutorial in rete, il metodo con le dita (o le matite) e ha continuato a usare quello, sostituendo le dita con il telaio a Y (le dita ringraziano!). Il fratello ha mostrato interesse pure lui e utilizza lo stesso metodo col telaio piccolo. Fanno tanti braccialetti e si divertono, anche perché è un passatempo non troppo impegnativo, e lo si può fare chiacchierando o guardando la TV. In rete ci sono tanti tutorial anche per cose diverse dai braccialetti, basta cercare e scegliere cose non troppo complicate. Insomma, il gioco è piaciuto: soddisfa la voglia di creare qualcosa da sé, senza delusioni, e fa trascorrere del tempo in maniera spensierata. Consegna Amazon come sempre precisa e puntuale.

Inte fått mina varor samt inga pengar åter och ingen återkoppling på mail. 🥺

Porque lo ví en Internet y me interesó y me gusta las manualidades y lo estoy usando y me salen pulseras bastante bien.

C'est un petit atelier ultra pratique ,de bonne qualité et compacte,de forme ovale à 8 crochets,3 en face à face et 1 de chaque côté,c'est fourni avec un crochet en deux partis dont une qui sert à faire des "fishtails"( sorte de bracelet en forme de queue de poisson ">>>>") et un sachet d’élastiques sans latex aux couleurs mélangés assez vives,et des crochets en forme de C,plus grands,plus pratiques et plus solides. La boite sert de rangement car il y a un couvercle intérieur, j'ai adoré ce petit plus bien pensé. Il est destiné à faire des bracelets plus élaborés et si on veux plus épais.la notice est bien faite avec deux types,à la fin il y a un code secret à fournir lors de l'inscription sur le site internet officiel pour accéder à d'autres modèles,c'est gratuit. J'ai 35 ans et j'adore,mes filles 5 et 12 ans aussi!!! c'est un bon investissement et vraiment le prix pour la qualité c'est parfait. Je vais en reprendre un prochainement parce que cela occupe et dans le bon sens créatif. A tester.

Super!Dank u wel !
