Toys and Games Reviews of Kid Galaxy Morphibians Gator Radio Control Vehicle

Customer Review: Good first RC car for little kids
Summary: 4 Stars

We bought two of these kid galaxy RC cars (the Morphibian and Land Shark) on the premise that each of our kids would want one. Our four-year old son enjoys playing with them but I would not say they are his absolute favorites (that goes to Legos). Our two-year old daughter can't really drive them but she loves to chase them when others are driving them.

They seem durable enough. I wouldn't want to throw them in the pool (even if they do say they are amphibious, I don't think they are submersible) or down a flight of stairs, but so far they have withstood a number of bumps, drops, and kicks.

The controls are simple to use. On the vehicle there is an on/off switch and on the remote there are two joy sticks, push one forward and the wheels on the corresponding side of the car go forward. Pull it back and the wheels on that side of the car go in reverse. Push both joy sticks forward and the car goes, etc.) It like driving a tracked vehicle. Our four-year old got the hang of it pretty quickly but hasn't focused on it enough to actually avoid hitting things.

There is enough torque in the car that it can run on carpet but this will run through bateries faster. It is actually also pretty good outdoors in the garden. Still it is at its best on smooth floors.

The battery life seems okay, but it would also depend upon how much the kids (or in my case the parents) play with it.

In my opinion there are two problems with this toy. First, it requires two different types of batteries. The vehicle takes 3 AA batteries and the remote takes 2 AAA batteries. This is a pain because I always have AA batteries but AAA batteries always seem to require a trip to the shops. The second problem is a lack of a power switch on the remote. The batteries in the remote are activated by pushing one of the joysticks. In theory this is fine, however, when dumped into a toy box it easy for the a joystick to move and drain the batteries, meaning I have to run to the store the next time someone decides to play with the toy.

All in all, if you are looking for a first RC car for a child that is relatively durable, simple to use and relatively fun, then I recommend this toy. If you are looking for something for an older child how is more into speed, styling and being cool, look elswhere.

A Cool, Full-Function Alligator-Styled RC Vehicle
As its name suggests, the Morphibians Gator RC vehicle is suited for both land and water environments. With textured hard plastic and an organic shape, this speedy car's design and details mirrors that of a mighty alligator that lurks in the marshes but strikes quickly at its prey.

The front end features softly-ridged green detailing and teeth that evokes an alligator's mouth and gives this toy a unique personality. Other features include four-wheel drive, tinted windows, and gas-tank detailing.


Drives on Land and Water
The rugged Gator's tires have deep grooves to help it maneuver over cracks, bumps and uneven terrain. But on water, it floats and is propelled forward by the four-wheel drive. This cool RC vehicle moves smoothly between different terrains without toppling or spinning out.

Whether driving from pavement to pool or grass to rocky dirt path, kids will love operating the Gator. The green and smooth RC handset has a generous range and ergonomic handles that are comfortable to hold. The two joysticks allow for greater control, more nuanced driving, and quick turns.

The Gator should be used in calm, non-saltwater environments. After adult-supervised water play, the Gator should be drained of excess water and towel dried. Outdoor toys can be messy, but this durable RC toy cleans up easily with a damp towel.
