Product Description
The Remote Control Air Swimmer Flying Clownfish comes complete with everything you need to fly it except batteries and Helium. You will need to fill the Air Swimmer with Helium before it will fly. There are 2 options for obtaining this Helium either buy a helium canister and fill up the Air Swimmer in your own home or take the Air Swimmer to a Helium supplier (party shops, florists). In the box there is a tether that can be used to take the Air Swimmer foil back after it is filled up with Helium. Do this before adding the electronics and fins.Air Swimmers Extreme is exclusive to Toys R Us. This model is Radio Control and not to be confused with the IR version of Air Swimmers. Radio Control allows for approximately 50% longer range flying and unlike the basic IR version will still operate even without line of site!The Air Swimmer Clownfish features * Giant blowup fish (57inches long and 36 inches tall) * Fish uses 1 x AAA battery (included) * Radio Control Transmitter uses 1 x 9 volt battery(included) * Full instructions for useThe most amazing radiocontrolled product ever made! Fly the Giant Sized Clownfish around your house or work place and see peoples reactions! Simple to fly the RC controller enables you to make the Clownfish move left, right, and forward with ease. Incredibly manoeuvrable the fish is able to turn in very small spaces, so can easily swim around your house or office. A crash is no problem. Unlike other flying RC products the Clownfish just bounces off walls and other objects without damage.

I don't know what the problem is with the people who only gave this toy one star. It's not the easiest thing to put together, but once you do it and do it properly, its a total blast. For the woman who says she's not sure it doesn't work because she lives above 6,000 feet...the directions tell explicitly you how to accomodate for high altitude. They also say you need to fill it with pure helium, not diluted helium, so I made sure the party store where I got it filled had pure helium. As I'm writing this I'm watching my son navigate this thing around the room, it's hilarious to have a huge shark (like over three and a half feet long) swimming around my house. the tail goes back and forth via remote control to make it "swim," and there is a battery-operated counterweight that goes back and forth under the shark's belly to dip the shark's nose up or down to make it change direction. There is a compartment within the motor device in which you put pieces of clay (weird, but it works), or remove them, this will either weigh the shark down so it doesn't float too high, or remove a piece or two so it doesn't sink too low. It's just a matter of fine-tuning it, reading the directions and putting it together properly. I always read the reviews of the people who only give one star to an item in which I'm interested; if they can't spell, have lousy grammar and/or whine about the fact that something is too difficult to put together or make stupid comments over obvious necessities about the product (like the fact that you stick the fins on with double-sided tape...hello, why is that a problem? How else do you suggest you get the fin to stick to a balloon...)Comments like that let me know that their one-star rating is more about their inability to put something together rather than the actual item itself.

We have purchased your Air Swimmers Shark and Clown fish for our kids for Christmas.. I must tell you that this was the worst present I have ever bought in my life! One of the motors did not work. I tried to pair them, but no luck at all.. This was after I already filled it up with helium and struggled to get all the fins and fasteners on. So I started on the other one, the motor worked on that one, but on the plug for the tail fin, the wires came out of the connector. The instructions are a joke. They tell you to put a fastener on the "X", but there is no "X" on the fish! The tape does not hold at all! Didn't last for more than an hour before things started falling off. I had to use tons of scotch tape just to keep everything from falling to pieces. I've basically got two $25 balloons.. This was one of the bigger presents we bought for our kids, now they are so disappointed and was in tears because these didn't work!! I can't believe you can sell a product like this and still have a clear conscious knowing that these are going to kids all around the world. From the looks of the reviews, I am not alone in this opinion.

I will start by saying I normally love Animal Planet toys and my son has a ton of them. This toy is JUNK. All it is, is a balloon. All the fins and the tail? They stick on with TAPE tabs. Better hope your "balloon" holds air better than ours because if you need to refill the balloon all the tape tabs let go and won't restick. This could have been a great toy with only slight modifications. BIG FAIL for Animal Planet.

Not worth buying
Took 1 hour to put it all together. It swished its tail four times and nothing else happened. Nothing worked after that! Terrible and very disappointing.

Good fun for a while for me and my little boys. However, the fins are very flimsy and break off easily -- I know the manufacturer had to keep the weight down to make this toy... Read more

Not worth the money!
This product is definitely not worth the money. It got a hole in it just trying to inflate it. By the time you purchase a helium tank, too, the price is outrageous! Read more

Air swimmer
Air swimmer is a good toy with the WOW factor when kids first see it. However, it takes some skill to set it up and helium has to be sourced seperately

Terrible Product
This is a cheap product with useless instructions. It took about an hour to build the toy, using the required separately purchased helium tank (another $20). Read more
