Toys and Games Reviews of Deluxe Spirograph
Customer Review: Nothing like the original
Summary: 2 Stars
My parents had a Spirograph Deluxe when I was a kid. I remember spending hours making fancy designs and multi-colored pictures. I literally squealed when I found this at the store.
How does it compare? Not well, in most cases.
The old set was made of a brittle plastic that broke easily if not carefully handled. The new set is made of a more flexible, softer plastic that MIGHT hold up better.
The old set came with four multi-colored pens. The new one has one.
The old set had multiple gears and other interchangeable "bits" to create thousands of shapes and configurations. The new set has seven gears, three gear templates and a clunky stencil. It's very limited in options.
The old set was precisely engineered so the gear teeth would mesh properly with any other gear. The new set doesn't seem as carefully made, and the teeth taper toward the tips, so they slip.
The old set came with a cardboard drawing surface and a set of pushpins to hold the paper and gears still as you worked. While it wasn't perfect, it's clearly better than the new set's rubber feet which rest ON a standard sheet of paper, providing no stability whatsoever.
The old set had a rigid plastic tray and a reusable cardboard box to keep everything in. The new set has a handy covered storage area for the gears and another for the single pen, but the stencil and gear template are separate. The packaging is not reusable. I need to find some way to keep everything together.
The old set had tiny parts that a small child (under 8) would find frustrating to use. The new set is made bigger for younger children. At least, that's the theory.
This set might be a good introduction to Spirograph while you're saving up for the original on eBay. The name "deluxe", however, is misleading. There's nothing deluxe about it.
