I'm 19 and when I saw it on TV it was very interesting. I understand it's a toy for younger children, but it is kind of fragile (dropping it once can really screw with the face mechinisms)[..]. Personaly I woulden't buy this toy online because I had to go to several stores to find a model that didn't look broken or poorly made. If you get a good one though, it's extremely cute and interesting to watch. Besides the robot noises it has the facial expressions of a real lion, right down to the bottom eyelid closing before the top. My friends and I occasionaly find ourselves talking to it as if it were a real cat. So overall it's a really cool toy. But don't bother buying it unless your kid is really into lions or robots in general, or you have a lot of money to throw around.

I ordered this toy as a birthday present for my 3 year old son. He had seen it on tv, and thought it was "so cute". When I received the package, I wanted to test it out to make sure all was working well. This toy comes with 4 double A batteries already installed because you are supposed to be able to test it in the box. Well, the one I received had dead batteries, so I was not able to test it without taking it out of the box to replace the batteries. I tried to be as careful as possible when removing the toy from the packaging, in case I needed to send it back, but there is absolutely no way to get the toy out without essentially ripping the box apart. Once I had the toy out, I replaced the batteries and it began to work. The first thing I noticed was how loud the mechanical noise is. It most definitely overpowers the lion cub noises that it makes. It's hard to find the animal noises very cute and appealing with the toy whiring and grinding like that. Also, the cub that I received does not close one of its eyes all the way, and on the same eye, the fabric is not glued close enough to the eyeball, so the black mechanical part that opens and closes is visible. This thing is also not anywhere near as cute as it is on the commercial. I don't really see my son playing with this thing very much, and I think I just wasted my money. Which, by the way, I think was too much, considering the quality of the toy.

My daughter loved this toy as soon as she saw it at the store. It was great, she treated it like a real animal. 18 hours later the eyes and month stopped working and I could smell like a electrical burning smell at the top of its head. I felt so bad for my daughter, she loved this toy with a smile ear to ear when she got it. She feel asleep with it in arms and cried her eyes out the next day when it stopped working. Trusted me, she was not even close to being rough with it, it just stopped working right.
