Spider-Man Reviews

Hello, all. I am 13 and have been an R/C pilot for 5 years.

After reading several of the customers' reviews, I think it's necessary to clarify a few points:

1. This is a TOY. The entire line of Air Hogs products are TOYS. They cannot be expected to perform like true Radio-Controlled Models. In fact, as I have test-flown many models at the local hobby shop, these models will not do much more than glide. The motors are small and weak, as are the propellers. There are no servos; all directional control is by motor thrust differentiation. As a result, stalling will be inevitable for those who decide to keep at full power, and a nosedive into the ground follows. I actually find these toys much more difficult to fly than real R/C models.

2. R/C Modeling (notice I said MODELING) is a relatively expensive venture. For $49, there is nothing of any quality on the market. However, if you really want to get into model aviation, I recommend starting with the Hobbyzone brand of planes, which are great starters, and then progressing on to the Parkzone series. These planes are high quality, and most have moving control surfaces. The Hobbyzone series is mostly 2-channel to 3-channel, with either Rudder/Throttle control for beginners or Rudder/Elevator/Throttle control for more proficient pilots. These, however, will benefit the first-time flyer more if you TAKE THE TIME TO HAVE AN INSTRUCTOR TEACH YOU. See the Hobbyzone website at www.hobbyzone.com.

3. If you really don't want to spend at least $100, consider the only good flyer in the Air Hogs fleet: the Aero Ace. This toy sells for $39.99, cheaper than many of the other planes, yet flies the best. It has a powerful little 50/210 motor (equivalent) in it, as well as a built in LiPo (Lithium-Polymer) battery pack. LiPo packs are usually found on planes OVER $300! The Aero Ace is good for a toy, or backyard flying, but if you really want to get into R/C MODELING, I would strongly recommend Hobbyzone.

Sorry for confusing you with the technical terms... Once you get into this great hobby, you will understand all of it. I hope this has been some help to you, and I hope that Amazon won't block this because it diverts their business to Hobbyzone! If you wish to contact me, please go to www.rcuniverse.com and send PZCubFlyer a private message. I will try to get back to you as promptly as possible. Bye for now!

im sorry to those of you who broke yours the problem is in the instructions it says to throw it at a 45 degree angle. but you want to throw it levele and it will fly they all do i own them all intruder,resister,slinger,rush,dominator,skywinder, and the helicopter

they all fly

i have this plane it flys great! to the guy who's broke its was probralbly defective but any way it is very sensite to the turns so i recomend the rush airplane it flys well to but it has a rudder good for beginers overall its a decent plane though

This is the first review I have taken the time to write on Amazon. This toy is as bad as others have said. So much is wrong with the design - but the worst thing is that the reflective panels do not stay in place- I wanted to think that they MUST lock in place somehow. Has Rainbow Art tested this product? I was hoping to read some Amazon reviews of Digidraw to find out if anyone had a remedy for the panels slipping- The remedy is to return the toy. I will quickly say that the reflected image is a blurry shadow - my boy's can do better freehand. Please don't waste your money!

This "art tool" is basically two plastic panels that POORLY reflect an image on paper. There is nothing to this toy. Looks like the manufacturer spent a lot of effort on packaging and marketing and put NO effort into the product. Also, the name "digi" is hysterical, there is nothing digital about the product - the 2 plastic panels are inside a case that resemble a laptop. LOL!
Big waste of money! You get better results tracing images the good old fashioned way when using parchment or tracing paper.

How can anyone be 'extremly dissapointed' with somthing like this? Despite this products said flaws, what is it that you people expect? I dont think that any of your children will be perminantly scared or anything of the sort. People, please.

this game is a good introduction for the little ones to the more sophisticated vsmile games (4-6). some of the games are too challenging for a 3 (or even 4 or 5 year old)-like addition and subtraction up to 10! and in some of the games they have to figure out to use the little red button so spider man can use a web to jump over a big whole - just jumping won't do it. after i finally figured it out and showed my son, he could do it though. he also likes the grocery store part. he will tell me all the items that (he thinks) he needs and we go around looking for them. he is starting to figure out to find the cake and the bread together and the fruits together - so I think it is teaching him -if not about the foodgroups - just about grouping in general. he likes it, and that's most important. the animation in good. i don't think it is an easy or meaningful game for a typical 3 year old to play (as suggested by the suggested age from toysrus)but 4 and up it's okay, especially with a parents help.

This game is one of his favorite out of the 7 he has, I just purchased Bob the Builder which he loves too

My 3-year old just got this game, and he LOVES it. Especially the grocery store part. Some other parts are a little challenging for him, but I know he will have it mastered in not time. Until he played this game, I didn't even realize that he could recognize numbers by sight, although he can already count. Very educational!

This is the best piece of furniture, your child will ever enjoy.
My son, loves to sit on it to watch his favorite shows and when he becomes bored he unfolds it to rest and tries to hide within the couch. He truly adores his Spider-Man flip out sofa.

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON LOVES THE SPIDER-MAN FLIP OUT SOFA HE GOT FOR HIS BIRTHDAY. HE FLIPS IT OUT FOR A BED AND PUTS IT ON TOP OF HIS BED AND SLEEPS THERE ALL THE TIME. AWESOME PRODUCT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR THE SPIDER-MAN FANATIC!!!

These books have all been wonderful tools that my son has not only enjoyed very much, but they've helped him make needed improvements with many academic skills. This on encourages reading and it's another great example of a fantastic and useful interactive product.

My boys, ages 5 and 7, love this! My 5 year old has been using it constantly, often spending an hour at a time with it. A much better choice than TV or video games when you don't have time to spend reading a real book to them.

This is the first leap book that my son would read. Although he likes the idea of Tad and the other creatures and will gladly sit and be read to for an hour, the 3 other books we have get maybe 5 minutes of his attention. This is the first one he will sit down and read/play by himself for 30 minutes or more (He is super hero obsessed). I wanted the Superman one but after reading the reviews of it decided on this because it will read individual words and is more on his level (just 6 and starting 1st grade in the fall). There are some great games that encourage visual distiction and have some really interesting facts about spiders and some good letter sound stuff too. I love it, he loves it, and I wish they would do more comic based stuff as it goes over great here.

Terrible! Enormous amount of effort for nothing! We bought this based on the other review - thought it would be a great first Spiderman toy for our no-guns house, but I'd give anything to send it back. There's enough water for about 30 seconds of play, and it takes 45 minutes to set up, another 15 minutes every time you get it out (because the pieces fall off very easily and it doesn't work unless the pieces are all in place). What a waste of money! We're going out to get a 59-cent water pistol and throwing this away.

The age on this is 5 and up, but my son received this when he turned 3, and he has no problem working it. I was very happy with this toy, as my son is not allowed to have guns, and I was in a dilemma about the squirt guns he wanted. Perfect compromise, it squirts like a gun, its his favorite guy Spiderman, but its not a gun!

It has 3 different water shooters you can put on his hands, they are interchangeable. So this makes it fun. You can shoot from his left hand by pushing the trigger upwards, and you can shoot from his right hand by pushing the trigger downwards. My only complaint is the size of the water container, its so small you need to feel it up quite frequently. The squirting works by pumping a pump in the back to build pressure in the water holder, then by pushing the trigger. Spiderman also comes off of the water squirting compartment by pushing 2 buttons.

We are very happy with this toy, seems pretty durable too!

I bought this chair for my 1 year old and she enjoyed looking at the Dora print more than actually sitting on it. Also, chair appears firm in picture but when you get it's not as comfy as it looks. I wouldn't reccommend it for a toddler.

my son just turned one and he loves looking at his books and playing with his toys on it i cant beleive how much this was great product would recommend to anyone

I bought this chair for my grandson who is 13 months old and has cerebal palsy. He loves it. Even though he cannot walk he can get in and out of the chair on his own and it is sturdy and does not tip easily.

although the copter is a challenge for really young boys. The shooting device on the copter if fairly challenging.
On the whole a this is a great fun, especially for 2 boys around the same age.

More than what I expected and my five year old has not put them down. They come with fun extras and the spiderman doll that fits in each cockpit. My seven year old daughter plays with him since there are two (car and helicopter). Great enjoyment and so far it hasn't gotten old yet. Even my one year old likes them (as often as he can get a hold of them!)
