Named and marketed deceptively, definitely not the classic music box toy.

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

One star because it's named and marketed deceptively. It's not a record player, it's not the classic music box toy, and it shows a certain degree of contempt for customers to give it the appearance / name of the original while drastically changing the experience.

Mattel/FP: If you're trying to re-issue the original, *re-issue the original*. If you want to sell a toy built around an electronic mechanism for playing songs when plastic discs are selected, sell a Fisher-Price mock CD player.

Shoppers: If you're looking for a music box, look elsewhere. Also, you might notice there are CD players available out there that are less expensive than this. Buy one of those, pick up a few classic discs from your local thrift store or used music store and you have something a step up from this.

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

I was SO disappointed when I finally got the player out of the box! I still have the one my children used when they were little. (They are 42 and 38). All my grandkids have enjoyed playing with it when they come over. I thought it would be fun to get one for my grandson for his first birthday but what a let down. the "on/off" button which the child used to slide right or left to turn on or off is FAKE. My grandson became so frustrated when he couldn't move it. Have you noticed how intuitive kids are with buttons - they love to operate them but this one does nothing! The sound is terrible. It's lightweight doesn't feel as durable. No grooves in the records (it's digital but doesn't have the same fun feel). The record arm is difficult to operate. The knob to wind up is impossible for a child to operate. I am certain this won't last 4 years let alone 40. Then again, maybe because I doubt he'll enjoy playing with it. Too bad I destroyed the box trying to remove it. Otherwise I would have returned it. Here's a tip - if you are going for nostalgic try not compromising on quality!

This is not the Fisher Price Record Player you grew up with.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

I never owned one of these but it was always fun to go to my grandparents' house and play with the one they kept around for the grandkids. The records had several "tracks" and each one was responsible for causing a note to play as it passed under the arm. The records were actually what caused the music to play, causing a physical action that caused sound to emanate. Quite a clever introduction to serialized data.

This one is a reinvention and worse for it. There are no longer proper tracks but just raised pseudo-toroidal bumps which the swing-arm reads and causes the music to play. It doesn't matter where you are, it plays from the beginning. There's not physical interaction either, it plays from its internal electronic player (hence why batteries are needed). The record player must be wound up but there is no actual reason this is even needed. It's purely a visual affectation. Hence why when it winds down, the music doesn't slow, it just sort-of stutters. The whole elegance of the original design has been lost and any connection to what it originally represented is no longer present except as some grotesque parody.

Now, with the negatives out of the way, I have to say, it's pretty cheap and it's likely to entertain small children so I'll give it a few stars. My son likes to watch it and listen to the music. But for what it is, might as well play him something on a smartphone. I feel this is targeted at pinging the nostalgia bone in parents like me rather than creating a good toy for a child.

Digital Recreation of a classic.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2016

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

If you are after the old style, wind and play with teeth on the records play by a steel comb. This isn't it.
This is a battery operated digital recreation.

"The original 1971 Fisher Price Change-A-Record Music Box, or otherwise known as the Fisher Price Record Player, is back." False claim.
Had I read the comments beforehand I would not have purchased.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2016

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

This is a piece of crap. The songs don't even sound like the 'classic' song music. Making it work properly is too difficult for a small child as the 'arm' has to be precisely placed or it hesitates and skips. I am so disappointed I had to purchase a different birthday gift because I just couldn't present this one. DON'T BUY IT!

False Advertising - one might consider boycotting Fisher Price over DECEPTIVE PRACTICES

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

Quoting: "The original 1971 Fisher Price Change-A-Record Music Box, or otherwise known as the Fisher Price Record Player, is back". NO, it is NOT back. Nothing like the sound and visual experience of the original toy. It is a visual shell of the old toy only.

A little different, but still great!

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

I know some people are upset that this isn’t the same as it was and I even almost bought an original off eBay, but I think it’s great. I especially loved that the packaging was basically plastic free. It was all cardboard and then a paper string holding the records together (see picture). It does not have the grooves and traditional record needle but with the way my daughter walks around with that thing and throws it during a tantrum, I’m okay with that. It sounds exactly the same to me. My mother watches my daughter and wanted to have something to play music that wasn’t a phone or tv. This is great and price is too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2017

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

Don't buy this if you want the classic, get an original on EBAY instead. This is not the 'classic re-released'. The joy of the original was that it was purely mechanical and analogue, and you could see how the bumpy records made music like in a music box. This new version uses smooth records and a digital recording. That joy of seeing things really work has gone.

Fisher Price created a cheap copy of their classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2019

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

This isn't what the original was. Its been modernised. Its not actually a traditional music box with the chimes, it operates via buttons and a recording of the chimes played through a speaker. The sound is poor and the mechanism for turning the record was not very good either, it didn't been work on a couple of the records - but the music still played. You don't even need the records. The record head has four pressable buttons which line up with four ridge positions on the discs. Each disc no longer has “bumps” for notes, but instead simply has a combination of four continuous ridges. The memory chip identifies which disc is being played by the ridges depressing the buttons
The wind-up still turns the disc manually, but all it does is tell the speaker to play while turning. I had one as a kid and bought this for my boy - I've now sent it back. Boo Fisher price Boo for ruining a beautiful classic!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2018

If it's a classic why change the whole concept? This version, unlike the original which at a glance it looks just like, is battery operated and the sounds are electronic. The pick-up head and the wind-up mechanism are fakes. Definitely not the classic Fisher Price record player.

Nothing like the original

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 24, 2018

Size: Pack of 1Verified Purchase

Very disappointed, nothing like the original. Bought it for my Grandaughter as my children had so much pleasure from the original. Very poor quality for a fisher price toy. What is the point in having batteries and having to wind it. The joy of the original was winding it up and no batteries. It's a good job the tunes are printed on the discs or you wouldn't have a clue what it was playing.

Thought this was a replacement for the original Fisher Price record player but the plastic is different and it needs batteries to power the music. The turntable is clockwork but has a short play time. Not as good as the original
