Toys and Games Reviews of Hover Disc - AlienCustomer Review: Fun but fragile (but what do you expect from a balloon?) Summary: 4 Stars
The Hover Disc is a pretty fun toy. As I write this my 6 1/2 year old son is trying to go out into a dark moonless night to play with the one he got today.The toy is pretty basic. So that the reader is not mislead this is effectively a giant mylar ballon. The big difference is that the balloon is encircled with a metal ring that creates a rigid edge and allows it to be thrown. While you could consider this "cheap" I think it is extremely inventive. It takes a bit to throw the disc "well" but it takes no effort to make it fly (as long as you don't care where it goes). The disc needs to be used in an area that would be suitable for flying a kite. Its just too big for a normal house. You want to avoid trees etc. The balloon itself is pretty durable but you need to take a bit of caution with it. It is easy to overfill which if taken too far could warp the metal ring. Also the tape that seals the metal ring will fall off pretty quickly but a little packing tape (as per the instructions) does seem to seal it back up quickly and effectively. Finally if you were to buy a "party" Mylar balloon of this size you would probably pay more for the balloon than the typical price of one of these discs. Taking that into account its not a bad deal.
Description of Hover Disc - AlienAstonish your friends with the amazing, gravity-defying Hover Disc. It hovers, spins, flies like a frisbee and floats like a blimp! Kids can flip it, throw it, spin it, bounce it off the wall, or even invent their own tricks and games for hours of fun outdoor or indoor play. Just fill it with air or helium and the Hover Disc inflates to an enormous three feet in diameter. The Hover Disc is made with high-strength material and a flexible outer ring. Its durable, refillable design ensures that it will last for years to come. Measures 6"H x 36"W x 36"D. The innovative hover disc is a cross between a frisbee and a balloon. Made of very lightweight materials, the disc has a circumference of approximately 34 inches. Even before you add air or helium the disc will fly through the air not unlike a like a large, flat frisbee. But add helium or air and you can make the disc perform unusual tricks with a little bit of practice. The disc's lightweight material may make it easy to puncture, but you can cover any holes with clear packing tape and you can also add more air or helium through the fill valve when it starts to lose its shape. The hover disc is designed for indoor and outdoor use but be careful when you play with it outside because it could easily blow away in strong winds. Helium not included.
