Toys and Games Reviews of Wild Planet A Pirate's Life Hook Fortune Finder
Customer Review: Not bad, relatively durable, but also quite annoying...
Summary: 3 Stars
As far as the aesthetics go, this is a nice looking toy. If you have a little pirate in your life, then they're going to be satisfied with this item on that alone. The build quality is good and I don't see it just falling apart at any time in the near future (in fact, like all of his toys, my nephew has been pretty hard on this one, and it shows few ill effects).
When it comes to the "fortune finding" component though, I'd have to say that it's much less of a success. Getting it to work basically requires that you "tune" it using a rotary dial (very similar to a pocket radio). Getting it to do that can be a little on the frustrating side, even as an adult, so you can imagine what my nephew's response to this was. Once it's working, it will detect the coins and other select metal objects, but only when it's placed near the toy. That was a little disappointing, but it does work when it's "tuned" properly. Fortunately, that functionality didn't hinder the fun, and since that's the most important aspect of a toy, I would buy it again if I had it to do over again.
Description of Wild Planet A Pirate's Life Hook Fortune Finder
Attach the hook shaped metal detector to your arm and search the seven seas for coins - pieces of eight, Spanish doubloons or even special pirate coins. Watch the skull eye glow when pirate treasure is near.Spy Gadgets Toys
