Despite all the negative reviews we decided to buy Bunchems and actually like it! Yes, they do catch hair easily (and carpets...and plush toys...), but I just keep on reminding the girls (both 3yo) to keep it away from their hair.
In other reviews there were comments about Bunchems being a choking hazard. In all fairness to the product, it states it on the box together with the age recommendation. I do not think they are any riskier than for example LEGO.
Just stay cautious and supervise your kids when they play with Bunchems. I agree - this is not a toy I would leave my toddlers alone with (with my daughters' multicultural hair it would take eternity to remove the little catchy balls from their afros), but I would not classify it as a 'toy from hell'.
Overall it t enhances creativity and out of the box thinking. The package comes with guidelines on how to build some of the creations, but there is just no end to the kids imagination and they keep on coming up with new ideas.
Bunchems could be improved. The parts don't stick together perfectly, so when whatever the kids built with them is done, it falls apart when lifted from the floor.

Will get entrenched in children's hair
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015
Kids love playing with these. But kids will get carried away and set their new creation on their head and it's all over. The panic sets in quick when they realize it doesn't come off. They try to pull it off and all the burrs grab hold and entrench deeper into their hair. It is truly the worst toy ever.If this happens to you 1) stop the kids from pulling and get them to sit still. 2) remove the easy balls that are not yet entrenched. 3) spray each ball and surrounding hair with good detangler 4) use the end of a fine comb as a hook and pull out individual hairs from the ball. Do it one ball at a time with the ball that is farthest out. Use the comb like a trenching tool and work out a few hairs at a time. This group of balls was over three hours to get out. I came very close to cutting all her hair. Every other attempt to get them out only made it worse and wrapped the hair in deeper.Good luck....
