Great fun
It moves fast and makes small and big children laugh. I have ordered this toy several times, it’s really good fun!

Lots of fun
Brought two of these for my grandchildren aged 6 and 10. They love them, although they don't play with them for very long at one time. The scarab hexbugs are very lifelike in the way they scurry around and move very fast. They are more successful at changing direction when they hit an obstruction on a hard surface (e.g. tiled or wooden floor) than when on carpet, but are better at this than I expected. Quite robust and well built for the price. Lots of fun.

Great little bug...
My son loved chasing it around the floor and even stood on it a couple of times as he is only 3. I have to say I am amazed how strong it is as it did not break. The batteries are dead now and it would be better if it had an AAA battery as opposed to 3 little watch batteries. Good product though.

Happy
My little brothers (2 and 5 years old) had a different style hexbug before and they loved it, however they broke it on the first day of getting it. They are so cool and cheap I thought I'd get another 2 to replace it and I'm sure it will be much appreciated.I received a blue and a red one.I must say the red bug looks a little scary!

Junk
Didn't work from the off. Cracked it open and saw that the batteries weren't making a connection properly, so put some sticky pads on the inside of the shell to push and hold the batteries into their socket properly. So I got it working but the thing lasted for about 10 minutes. Put in new batteries and it again was about 10 minutes. It wasn't even a fun packed 10 minutes. It just crawled forward until it hit a wall and just kept walking into the wall. Er wowz, I have cheaper toys from the 1980's that can muster this sort of robotic consciousness. And on carpet? Forget it. The folk saying it works on theirs must have worn their shag completely bald. If this works on your carpet, its an indicator you need to buy new carpet. So yeah, total rubbish.

Mixed feelings
Have mixed feelings about this product. I ordered it & arrived very quickly , scuttled around the floor very quickly, doing crazy flips when it bumped into things & broke within about 5 mins of leaving the box, one leg locked & froze totally. The company replied to my email v promptly, and replaced the item on return of the original, so they've been great, (although cost £4 to return item) but doesn't get played with much as seems quite fragile. It is a fun creature though, and runs around crazily. My son took it to a show & tell at school, the girls all screamed & boys thought it was awesome.

I'm not sure who loves these more, me or the dogs!
I received one of these a few years back in a Loot Crate box and found that my little dog loved it. I've bought a couple over the years and then decided it was time to treat her again. I also have a 2 year old chocolate labrador who has never seen these before, so he was super fun to watch!I am very lucky that neither of my dogs are destructive chewers, they pick them up in their mouths and then throw them up in the air and hit them with a paw so these last a few months at least. They get turned off when not in use. My sister's dog however destroyed hers within seconds by just crunching down on it.I'd highly recommend these for your dog, with supervision (mainly for your own entertainment!) But not for destructive chewers. I'd buy them more often if the price tag wasn't so steep!

Excellent customer service provided as I had requested it to ...
Excellent customer service provided as I had requested it to posted as soon as possible and the team were quick and friendly with their responses.I had bought this item as a present for my nephew aged 6 and he loved it! The scarab works best on a hard floor but the adults were getting just as much amusement out of it as the kids! Would definitely recommend.

Awesome product but too pricey
I purchased it in 2015 for 500 odd Rupees, which was value for money back then, but now it is too pricey. The product is fantastic and keeps us engaged when it is in action.

Hexbug Scarab, sold by Tehadar
I found the battery in the Scarab somewhat rundown, so I wrote the seller about this. Tehadar kindly issued me a credit for $5.00 so that I could get a good quality set of 3 disc batteries and thereby perfect my purchase! I appreciate a seller who stands behind her products. The Scarab itself is the best of all the Hexbug robotic toys!

Decepcionante
Las imágenes publicitarias no son lo que es en realidad el producto. Ni siquiera tiene un control remoto.
