I purchased 4 of these different slingshot toys, and they all tore and fell apart within 30 minutes of use on all of them. Even though these are low cost items, DONT waste your money!

Right out of the box this was a disappointment. The chicken would not go more than 10 feet without risk of breaking the rubberband. It only made a sound after I got fed up with it and threw it on the ground... then it wouldn't make the sound again.

We bought this along with the "flying monkey" for the kids last Christmas. They weren't very impressed with them but me and my husband have loved playing with them. They are too hard for young children to shoot off their fingers and still sort of hard for grown-ups, but you can send them flying many feet through the air! I like to stand on our back deck and shoot them out into the woods over the trees and send the kids out the fetch them back so I can do it again. The screams are hilarious! Only drawback so far is that when the battery dies I can't replace it unless I try ripping into it to see if I can do it that way. There is no access to battery replacement. The monkey's battery died and it's just not nearly as much fun without the scream.

Great for grown-ups to play with!

Product stopped working after 10 minutes....one chicken lost it's head...two others stopped making squawking noise...tried to return for a refund / credit and was told in phone conversation with HandHeldItems that they would credit my account IF I would change / edit or withdraw my negative customer comment. The charge is currently being disputed with my credit card company.

Several people wrote in to warn that it didn't work for them but I bought it anyway. Guess what? It didn't work for me either.
Stay away. The flying monkey is much better.

Recieved my order fairly quick. First try using it, the chicken went about 6 feet. Second try, the rubber tubing pulled loose from the head.
Proceeded to throw the pieces in the garbage. Very poor quality. Didn't pursue and exchange due to return shipping cost vs. cost of toy. Future buyers beware.

This was basically a waste of time. They don't make ANY noise and when I received them they had tears in the seams. I couldn't even give them to the kids I had bought them for. Don't purchase. Seller wouldn't even respond to my emails.

I ordered the slingshot chicken, received the slingshot monkey instead. Wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't already have a monkey... Tried to contact the seller, never got a response. If you want one of these popular office toys, get it through ThinkGeek or Woot instead. This seller has HORRIBLE service.

i bought this as a stocking stuffer for my son and it broke almost as soon as it came out of the stocking. to sling it you have to pull back the head (which came off) and it did not go anyhwere. more than a $7.00 shipping fee is what i paid and it was not at all worth it. it wasnt worth the 3.00 cost!

This is a fun toy, although not very durable after a few uses the big rubber band in the chickens neck was stretched out. It still works but I feel the workmanship on this item is poor.
