Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The My Meebas™ game is a new electronics toy from Mattel® that combines compelling, quirky game play with an unbelievable plush surprise on the inside. My Meebas™ comes in four uniquely colored tubes, each representing a special My Meebas™ attribute: Intelligence, Love, Friendship, and Happiness. Each game tube has a sliding LCD screen with three game play buttons that allow a girl to see “inside” the game tube and follow the progression of My Meebas™. She helps it “grow” by playing various games and activities. The more time she spends playing with My Meebas,™ the faster it “grows”. Once My Meebas™ is fully “grown”, and not a moment before, the game tube will pop open and the soft, plush My Meebas™ can be taken out. Each My Meebas™ plush will be the same shape as the fully “grown” My Meebas™ on the screen, but the colors and material will only be revealed once the game tubes are opened. Each tube sold separately, subject to availability. Plush toys not sold individually. Colors and decorations may vary.

2.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loved it BUT not enough play value, November 15, 2008

This review is from: My Meebas Game Purple - Intelligence (Toy)

Let me start this by saying that my daughter LOVED this. She talked about it, was excited about it, really obsessed with it. She couldn't wait for the little toy to come out and spent a lot of time between when she bought it and when the toy came out thinking about which one it would be.
Unfortunately, that isn't much time, and that's my problem with this toy. We purchased it from KMart at 5 pm, she played it for approximately 45 minutes in the car on the way home. She then played it for about 20 minutes the next morning and then about 30 minutes after school. That's when the toy came out.
After the toy emerges, the packaging clearly states, the electronic game has "limited play value." So for 19.99, my daughter got less than two hours of play from it. She does have the little stuffed animal, but hasn't played with the electronic game part for more than 10 minutes since it opened. The stuffed animal is small and appears cheaply made. It has the appearance of one of the "small prizes" you might win at a fair game. I haven't seen it either since the day she got it.
Whoever came up with this is a marketing genius, however. You choose from several colors of Meeba canisters and within each canister color range, there are several possible Meebas that can emerge. So your child can't pick which animal she will get: it's random luck. My luck, my daughter didn't get any of the the Meebas she wanted so of course, she wants another one of these.
I would not recommend this to others for two reasons: limited play time for the amount of money spent and there is a chance that your child will be disappointed in the toy that comes out and start asking for another. I do not plan on buying any more of these.
I am giving it two stars based on how into it she was before it opened.

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY COOL!!!!, July 8, 2008

A Kid's Review

This review is from: My Meebas Game Purple - Intelligence (Toy)

I started to play with MyMeebas two days ago and love it, The little guy keeps growing and changing. He makes really cute sounds when he tries to talk. I can't wait to see what he will look like when he grows up and turns into a real stuffed animal. My sister has one too but hers is Happiness, it is a different color tube, and her guy and games are different too. We are racing to see who can hatch theirs first. It's really, really fun.

This review is from: My Meebas Game Purple - Intelligence (Toy)

I got this toy for my birthday and I was really happy with it! My only complaints are...

1. These are TOO much money. Period. I know A LOT of people say this, but it'd be worth it if you got to choose what pet you got and had more games to play.
2. Continuing from the games situation. Now, I didn't COUNT and see if it was 20 games, but two games NEVER changed and the two that didn't change were frustating and sort of boring.
3. It says there are seven levels. If you go up to the top of your screen, you see a heart. Your meeba kisses it, and you can see how it's doing. It only shows SIX levels, which gave me a funny little story.
I had to PRY the top open with a steak knife cause I thought that I was done and my meeba would NOT open. So to let you guys know: When your meeba is HUGE, go into the center of his face to play games and earn hearts if you want to avoid being a meeba murderer.

Overall, this game was good, but too much money and a little confusing. Also, despite what other people say, I finished the game in about three hours. People say it takes about a MONTH, when you just have to spend a lot of time with it for a few hours. A enjoyed it though. :)
