Toys and Games Reviews of Radica Girl Tech My Photo Booth
Customer Review: MISLEADING FILM INSTRUCTIONS
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great toy...if you only intend to use the mini roll of film it comes with. The instructions for the $50 Photo Booth say it accepts ALL I-Zone film...such is not the case. After spending $30 on two multi-packs of I-Zone 200 film, we were so incredibly frustrated to learn that it did not fit the toy. When we called the "helpful" consumer hotline, the "not-so-helpful" spokesperson said that this toy only accepts REGULAR I-Zone film...not I-Zone 200 or I-Zone 500. (Apparently, this is what they mean by their phrase "accepts all I-Zone film.") The rep said the film could be found in SOME Wal-Marts, but couldn't even give a general location. In short, if you can track down the REGULAR I-Zone film (NOT one with a number attached to it), get a few packages. Yes, it's expensive, but it will save you a lot of frustation. Had I known this toy would be such a problem, I would have absolutely re-considered my purchase. As another reviewer so wisely put it, "What good IS the photo booth with no film to accompany it?"Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS TOY! FRUSTRATED MINNESOTAN
Summary: 2 Stars
What a super fun idea this photo booth is! My 8 year old had a great time with the first 6 pictures that it came with. Easy to load and operate. However, just like all of the previous reviewers, I too read the instructions which stated that it will take "any i-zone film" and ended up purchasing the i-zone200 film(because that is the only film available in my area)- which obviously does not fit this unit. Upon calling Radica's customer service, and airing my concerns, they have taken the position that their instructions are clear and that it was my fault I purchased the wrong film. I am very frustrated as it seems that the standard i-zone film is being discontinued from all the retailers in my area. My suggestion to everyone is not buy this product, as it was stated once before "what good is this toy if you cannot buy the film for it."Customer Review: UNSATISFIED DUE TO IMPOSSIBLE PURCHASE OF FILM
Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT!! the toy was loved by my daughter but....after using 3 out of the 6 pictures available it was IMPOSSIBLE to find film. it is 2006, if by now you have recieved tons of emails from unsatisfied customers WHY IS THIS PRODUCT STILL FOR SALE??? can someone email all previous customers back letting us know WHERE we can purchase the film??? its the least you can do, after all this product was not cheap...and not returnable so what was the point of purchasing it for a 'one-time' use??? not to mention seeing how disappointed my daughter got when she realized we couldn't find film anywhere...? totally upset and unsatisfied customer....please advise with any info on the purchase of film VERY MUCH NEEDED.....MOM, FROM BRONX, NEW YORK!! FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO OFFER FEEDBACK FEEL FREE TO CALL 917 918-4243. HAVE A GREAT YEAR - 2006!Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
The idea of a personal photo booth is a good one, but this toy is disappointing. Following are our concerns with the toy.
1. Not enough film comes with the camera (only 6 photos). Because of initial set-up problems, we only were able to get 5 to develop.
2. The film is small, expensive, and difficult to find. The developed photos measure just less than 1 inch high by 1½ inches wide. If more than one person is in the photo, you need a magnifying glass to appreciate the images.
3. The images are very poor. Most images are streaked and unnaturally colored with an orange tint.
4. The image that develops on the film does not match what is seen in the mirror.
In summary, I believe this toy is a waste of money both when purchased and throughout its life due to the high cost of the film.
Customer Review: Fun, but Film and Flash Issues
Summary: 4 Stars
This is definitely fun, but I also had a hard time finding the film for my daughter. When I did finally find the correct film (I, too, bought 200 by accident), the flash stopped working! We wasted five exposures of the hard-to-find and not-inexpensive film trying to troubleshoot. I was told by the electronics department that Polaroid no longer exists as a company and that they won't be making anything new but that another company was continuing to make film, for now. I'd suggest that if you see the film, BUY IT! The photo booth takes regular, sticky, and fortune i-zone film. I've seen the sticky and fortune film here on Amazon--a 3 pack for $18.99. Good luck! I'll be calling the company tomorrow about the flash. :-(
