Toys and Games Reviews of EyeClops Bionic Eye Multizoom, GreenCustomer Review: I spy with my EyeClops eye Summary: 4 Stars
Things you should know about the EyeClops
1. Even though set-up is relatively easy, kids may need some help in putting it together, connecting it to the TV and bringing the bionic eye into focus.
a. The lens attachment has to be placed over the bionic eye, and twisted until the red groove is aligned with the arrows.
b. This toy needs five AA batteries for the "brain case"
c. It needs to be connected to the TV video input
d. It has to be focused using the focusing disc (included) before use
2. It's not for smaller children who may shine the LED light in their eyes
3. It comes with a viewing tube (for looking at bugs and other small objects); a viewing dish (for stuff that needs a little more room to spread out for examination); and a base for hands free viewing. These items are made of transparent plastic, and if you're not careful you may throw them away with the packaging.
4. It comes with an easy to understand, illustrated instruction booklet, that's actually written in proper English, and includes a treasure hunt section.
Good things about the EyeClops
1. Kids will be fascinated by the 200X magnification, and are likely to spend lots of time looking for objects to view
2. This is a good learning tool for showing kids what everyday objects look like up close. Hair, skin, salt, coins and banknotes, magazines, cloth and carpets are good examples, as are ants, fruit flies, shells and leaves. You can actually see fibers in cloth, and hair and follicles in skin.
3. Great gross out fun when disgusting objects appear on your TV screen
Bad things about the EyeClops
1. The object for examination needs to be very close to the bionic eye, touching the lens attachment
2. You can only view objects in the proximity of the TV, up to the length of the cord.
3. Sometimes the image appears fuzzy and adjustments have to be made to get it into focus
4. Some colors view better than others
5. Once the batteries start running down you get lines through the image and discoloration
6. If you're using this with your kids - DON'T LET THEM SEE A CLOSE-UP OF YOUR SKIN. This device clearly illustrates the aging process, and the difference between young skin and ummm older skin is very apparent. Unless you want them laughing at you for years to come, don't show your epidermis without a fight.
A cool educational toy for kids with a little parental guidance required.

Description of EyeClops Bionic Eye Multizoom, GreenGet up close and personal with virtually any item! The Eyeclops is a handheld bionic microscope meant to be used as a fun toy - not as an educational aid. Simply plug it into any TV, turn it on and magnify any object up to 200 times its normal size. The image projects onto your TV. It's a cinch to use as there are no complicated instructions to understand, software to install or system requirements necessary. Requires 5 "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 14" x 4.25" x 12. Say goodbye to normal magnifiers! With the Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye hand-held device, kids can view everyday objects at 200 times their regular size. Recommended for kids ages six and up, the EyeClops creates hours of endless play and exploration that's fun for the entire family. Ordinary to Extraordinary Much more fun than a microscope, the EyeClops transforms any television into an interactive TV toy. With the EyeClops, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Magnified to 200 times the normal size and viewed on any TV screen, minuscule salt crystals morph into blocks of ice; hair and carpet turn into giant noodles; and small insects become fearsome creatures. The Bionic Eye has three built-in LED lights so kids can illuminate any object, including their own skin. Interactive and Easy to Use Kids love using the TV along with this educational device to share a new activity with their friends. Parents too can join in the fun and will love how their children learn and play. So you don't have to touch everything you look at, the toy comes with an observation dish and tube, perfect for viewing liquids, salt, and bugs. The battery-powered device is simple to use, plugging directly into the A/V jacks found on any current TV model. The brightly colored, hard plastic device is child-safe and stands up to hours of scientific exploration. The EyeClops requires five AA batteries.
