My daughter likes them a lot!, October 21, 2005

This review is from: Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus: Magical Musical Wings (Toy)
My 4 year old loves to run around the house in little nylon fairy wings and tutus, etc. She got this set of wings for her birthday. When you first take them out of the box, you must insert the wings into the base and set the switch on the back of the base to the "on" position. Then, adjust the straps to fit your child and fasten the straps in a criss cross fashion. Then press the star button to activate. To get the wings to flap, the child bends over 45%. The wings will flap (in 1 of 4 speeds) and play some "fairy wand/magical" sound effects for approximately 10 seconds. The child does not have to stay at the 45% angel after the wings have started moving. They can stand straight and run around. The tipping motion simply triggers them to start. To activate them again, just bend over again. The wings will flap at a slightly different speed with a slightly different sound effect. (It just rotates through all 4 speeds/sound effects.) It will, if not activated for a while, turn itself off. You just have to hit the star button again to "wake it up". Turn the switch on the back to the "off" position to conserve battery life. I gave this 4 stars for education for its encouragement of imagination. We haven't had it very long, but it's been durable thusfar. My daughter certainly thinks they are fun!

lots of bending, August 19, 2005

This review is from: Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus: Magical Musical Wings (Toy)
To make the wings flap/play the sounds, the child has to bend way over (the directions say 30-degree angle, but we find it's more like 90-degrees) then stand back up. We had to try this several times to get the wings to work. They play for a few seconds, then stop, and you have to bend over again to get them going. Finally, my child crawled around on the floor and found that crawling kept the wings flapping/playing sounds for the most part, but they sometimes shut off and won't come back on for several seconds, or until we reset it by shutting them off and on. We bought these for $21.99. When they work, my daughter loves them. The box says they play music, but that's a stretch of the imagination. They play sound effects you would expect to hear when a fairy waves a wand, etc.

My daughter got these for her 7th birthday in October. At first I couldn't figure out how to make them work, but after I read the instructions (duh) they worked just great. I let her wear them to a birthday party (not her own) and to school for Halloween and they're still in great shape. The batteries are still going strong. With care, these wings will last a long time.
