1.0 out of 5 stars Love Curious George, but..., March 20, 2006

This review is from: Curious George Jack in the Box (Toy)

I would love to know what the profit margin on this toy is. The price is astronomical for a toy that is not particularly well made. Ours didn't fall apart as quickly as the other reviewer's, but don't expect this toy to last long. Kids are inevitably going to play with the door latch; a responsible manufacturer would take that fact into account and make it as sturdy as possible. If it were on sale for $5 to $7, you could probably buy the thing without feeling ripped off. The current price (over $25) is absurd. That said, for as long as the toy lasted, my daughter loved it. Appropriate for age 18 months, give or take a few either way--based on our experience, at least.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broken!, August 24, 2005

It broke the day we got it - the lid wouldn't stay down - and it had to be returned. :( The store told us they had that problem, so we had to trade it for a CG lunchbox.

This review is from: Curious George Jack in the Box (Toy)

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to buy the item, however, my child loves Curious George. It works just fine. We've had it several months and yes, she goes straight for the latch in most cases, however, it has never had a problem.
People that said the latch broke don't understand that once the lid pops up on a jack in the box, you have to keep turning the handle so the latch resets itself before you push the lid back down. This is normal for a jack in the box, not a defect of the product.
After seeing my child enjoy the toy, it was definitely worth the money.
