Our Editorial Review
Product Description Fisher Price Toy Airplane The Shake and Go Toy Airplane from Fisher Price puts the power of flights into kids' hands. The plane features sounds, lights and flying action, is easy to use and is part of the Shake and Go series. The Fisher Price Toy is loaded onto the runway by the child and then shaken up enough to be shot 20 ft. The runway makes sounds and the light patterns reflect the amount of shakes the toy airplane has recorded.
Customer Reviews
Not as Fragile as Reviewed Posted 08 November 2008
I bought this for by 5 year old despite warnings by other reviewers that the toy was very easy to break. I would have to say that it is not the best design I have seen and I do see how the launching bracket could be torn off of the plane fairly easily. Armed with this knowledge I instructed my son on being careful when sliding the plane onto the gun and it has worked out well.
The toy is lots of fun, very dynamic, great sounds (loud though). My boy loves it.
That having been said the whole shaking thing doesn't make a lot of sense, it is highly non-intuitive. I guess I'm missing the significance of it.
Just cock it by pushing the nose.... Posted 09 July 2008
It's true that the durability of the product is based upon showing your kids how to push the plane back from the nose, rather than pulling it by the tail. If you pull on the tail, it will rip. But it has to be soft so you can shoot them around in the house. It would be nice if there were replacement planes available, though (we had some neighbors do some damage). I can definitely see the gun outlasting the plane. But our kids have had loads of fun with it. I'm ordering a few more so they can shoot them back and forth. 5 stars for me based upon how much fun the kids have had with it for $15.
Plane not durable Posted 02 June 2008
We bought one of these planes for my son when he was 3 and had a second one given as a gift when he was 4. Both planes lasted only one day before the foam ripped at the plastic piece that goes into the loader. We taped it together and got another week out of it but it really is just a poor design. There is so much foam hangin over the plastic that when a kid pushes the plane into the launcher it just causes it to rip the foam at the plastic. We had no problems with the launchers. For the review which Fisher price claims to have sold thousands without complaints I didn't complain either (both times), but that still doesn't mean there is not a problem with their design. Its just not to many people complain about items under $[...] (especially toys). I don't think they want to, but they could fix this by making the plastic part of the plane that goes into the launcher into a solid piece that extends the length of the plane. If it is kept concealed inside the foam part and rounded like a popsicle stick it is still not a safety issue as Fisher Price had eluded to. Great toy that was alot of fun, but the fun will last only a few days (if you have tape handy).
Great idea, tragically flawed Posted 25 April 2008
This was a great toy for about 2 days. Totally shredded and worthless since you can't buy new planes for the launcher. The plastic piece ripped right of the foam after using it a few times. Total piece of junk. Great concept but needs to be WAY more durable for child play.
Great toy but parents have to show how it is done Posted 10 February 2008
I bought this toy for my son 6 weeks ago and it is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. I see bad reviews and nearly all stem from people misusing the toy. If you hand cock the toy pulling the plane by the tail it will tear easily. Apparently, people cannot read or understand the toy cocks itself! Show your child to grasp the plane by the nose and push it into the channel and it will begin to cock itself. You have to shake the holder 4 times for it to fully wind up. My two year old has launched this thing over and over with no problems. He wouldn't otherwise is unable to cock toy like the foam dart guns. I logged on to this site to buy 3 more so the kids can launch the planes back and forth. By the way, the planes are fragile because are built of soft foam to keep them completely harmless-we shoot it around the house all the time.
