Air Swimmers Shark

I guess this is the right section for this, feel free to move it is not.

I want one of these: Air Swimmers - Awesome RC Flying Shark and Clownfish! - YouTube
Toysrus.com, The Official Toys”R”Us Site - Toys, Games, & More

Does anyone here have one? If so, what do you think of it?

We have to get one for Scylla. :smiley:

I got the Clown Fish version for my nephew’s 12th birthday in September. It’s fun!

Thanks. I needed to get my brother something for his birthday.

I got the shark for my nephew’s birthday in September. It is ridiculously cool. It’s surprisingly huge and the tail motion is awfully realistic.

I feel very smug that I was able to catch it in stock in such a narrow window of opportunity that I never did get an email about it.

Wow, beautiful.

I dunno, this one might kill him. :eek:

Heh. Now I gotta go Dope surfing and find that thread.

Nearly laughed myself into a coma while reading **Scylla’s ** tale.

Is there a model with Xmas lights and a Santa cap? I’d definitely go for one of those.

Here you go Scubaqueen This is one of my favorite Dope threads.

I would add a voice box with a recording saying “Candy gram!”

Encinitas and shantih, do they seem sturdy? I read in some reviews that some people had problems with the find falling off. Any problem with that?

A friend has one. His girlfriend is scared of sharks, so he surprised her with it at their Halloween party a couple weeks ago. It’s really cool, if a little hard to steer based on the difficulty the people playing with it seemed to be having. That could have been due to the alcohol, though.

It seemed pretty sturdy to me.

Sturdy enough, but I wouldn’t treat it as a pinata. My dad taped the fins on securely and they’ve stayed in place so far.

I had no reports of failures, but it definitely takes an adult to put it together as the fins are rather delicate.

How does it change um… altitude and attitude. In one of those vids, I saw the clown fish coming down stairs.

Well worth bookmarking, it’s a minor classic.

The San Jose Sharks will occasionally break out a couple shark-shaped blimps for home games. I’d love to try to sneak one of these into the Tank. Think I can hide a mini helium tank under my shirt?

There’s a … thing … on a track on the underside of the shark, which is weighted. The remote control can make that thing, which doubtless has a name, move forwards or backwards, and that plus the movement of the tail controls the level of the blimp.

The cats are gonna love this…:smiley:
