Great toy for any age! [Posted on 2008-11-30] This is such a fun fun toy. It's educational... were amazed and kept looking for items to look at. It takes a bit to figure out how to focus the thing, and we didn't use the little plastic dishes to put things in, but it's just amazing to see your skin.. the carpet (ew!), lint, anything!!! Buy it.. we even took ours to school, and after our class of 1st graders played with it, two other teachers borrowed it to use in their classrooms!
Captivating. [Posted on 2008-12-04] This gadget has inspired me to write my first Amazon review.
I purchased the Bionic Eye for my 6 year old last May, and we have equally enjoyed finding new things to view (most recently--chocolate chip cookies!). I cannot recommend this toy more enthusiastically. Easy to set up, easy to use, and super fun. I even brought it to work one day and hooked it up to our plasma TV in the conference room... it provided serious amusement for my coworkers.
Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye [Posted on 2008-12-10] I bought 2 of these for my g.children, the only time they were played with was when they were first opened. My husband and I did not find them very interesting either. Great service by Amazon though.
It's OK, but does have flaws!!! [Posted on 2008-12-26] It's not so easy to use...
They have to work a whole lote more y focus and luminosity control...
Besides that it's a cool toy...
Very cool, but definitely for older children. [Posted on 2008-12-29] The EyeClops sounded like a fascinating toy for my curious, nearly 6-year-old future scientist. It was really interesting when we looked at our skin and hair and the carpet.
However, it is extremely "touchy." The slightest movement would cause the picture to completely vanish from the screen, and several minutes of cycling the power and re-focusing the camera were needed before we could get a picture again. My child quickly lost interest, since he couldn't even hold the thing without losing the picture.
Although my son is very interested in science and learning about the world around him, he doesn't have the fine motor control to be able to use this device without a lot of frustration. We'll be returning our Eye-Clops in favor of something he can use more easily. This toy is really more suitable for an older child -- maybe 8 or older.
