2.0 out of 5 stars Not for rough handling! , January 9, 2007

By	R. M. Baker (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 11 yr old thought this was amazing but the maneuver wheels on the bottom will only run over hard surfaces and not carpet which was OK with us. He did, however, run it over carpet and the traction wheel rubber pully snapped. The legs are also quite fragile and after only 2 days of play, one of the legs broke. Because of that, the spider cannot "walk" now! Too bad because its looks great. We are going to send it back.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too bad it doesn't work on carpet, May 13, 2007

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I got it purely for the shock effect. Unfortunately the computer lab floor is carpeted so I can't make it attack everyone who walks in the door. But it looks really cool.

I've had my tarantula for a year and half now and it still works great. I keep it in the computer lab at school for kids to play with while their parents work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun!!, February 7, 2007

By	Brenda Sorensen (Utah) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not only will this be a fun gift for our 5 year old grandson, it will be a fun gift for our 65 year old brother-in-law! Quite realistic looking! It works great on smooth surfaces, but doesn't do well on carpet. Our dogs got a big kick out of it!
