Hoberman Mega Sphere

So...I'm 18 and bought this thing...for myself. XD If I sit down inside of it there is a fair amount of room in it, and I'm 5,6. I took it to my little 8 year old sister's baseball practice and played with the kids with it. It scared me that it would break because the joints don't seem very strong, but they were crawling in it and everything, and we would push it back and forth. The ball would bounce a lot and the joints stayed put! Though a fairly large girl fell backwards and stepped on it and it cracked a piece, but that was most likely do to her twisting and putting a lot of weight on that one area. Still works like a charm! Excuse me while I go play in it like a fort!

It's probably not durable enough to serve as a blanket fort and allow small children to use it unsupervised. But it makes me happy just knowing it comes in this size.

This thing is awesome! My intended use is different from the typical toy... it's going to be the inner skeleton for a halloween costume I'm making but regardless, I have been highly entertained with it! The boxes it came in were pretty damaged but the product survived. Most likely a problem on the shipping side of things.

Bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas and she no way can stand up in it like it shows. She is small. Not worth the money at all. It is nothing like it states. Very disappointed!

Kids like playing 'fort' with it. One star off because some of the joints pop apart with 'normal' kids use.
