Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot The Monster

Product Description

Imagine a little monster with a BIG personality. That's BIGFOOT. He's happy. He's angry. He's sleepy. He's fun. He talks and walks and throws a ball, chews and burps and exercises. And kids can bring him to life with an easy-to-use wireless remote control. The symbols on the buttons show you what BIGFOOT will do when you push them -- no reading required. BIGFOOT includes one (9.6Volt) NiMH rechargeable battery and battery charger. Remote Control requires 2 AA alkaline batteries.

Amazon.com Hands-On Review

The Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot the Monster is a personable and fun wireless remote-control companion that boasts a wide range of reactions and features. This battery-powered behemoth will talk, roll, tumble, and express emotions--all via remote control. Kids from 36 months to 8 years old will laugh at his fun antics, speech, and emotive face as he ambles around the house.

A Big Monster with a Big Personality
Made of hard plastic with a patch of fuzzy synthetic hair on his head, Big Foot executes his movements via remote control and jointed shoulders, elbows, and hips. Designed after the famous mythical monster that inhabits the woods of the Pacific Northwest, Big Foot features movable limbs, brows, eyes, and jaws that offer puppet-like movement. You can also interact with Big Foot directly--he has several buttons on his body that trigger different reactions.

He also comes with two plastic accessories: a red ball that he can throw and a plastic green leaf for fancy. As expected with a toy that walks and tumbles, Big Foot may scuff due to everyday wear, but the plastic is easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

A Monster that Burps, Laughs, and Talks
With the wireless remote control, your kids will have Big Foot walking, rolling forward and backward, exercising, sleeping, expressing anger (he's hungry!) or joy (you're his buddy!). Your kids can even place the red ball in his right hand and use the remote to have him toss it. This charming monster will also perform random acts via the remote's wild card button.

With a bank of over 30 phrases, words, and funny noises, Big Foot will amuse your kids with his personality. Not limited by functions on the remote, your kids can interact directly with him by touching his jaw to make him chomp and burp or his belly to tickle him and make him laugh.

You and your children will enjoy hanging out with Big Foot on carpeted surfaces with ample space. He'll move great on hard floors, but his tumbling and rolling can be loud against such surfaces.

Easy to Set Up
This toy comes with a 7.2V Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack and charger. All you'll need for set up are two AA batteries for the remote control and a Phillips-head screwdriver. Snap Big Foot's arm into its socket, put in the batteries, and he'll be ready to entertain.

What's in the Box
Big Foot Toy, detachable arm, two plastic toy pieces, wireless remote control, 7.2V Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, charger, and safety instructions.

This review is from: Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot The Monster (Toy)
My son got this for his 4th birthday. He was THRILLED to get it, and couldn't wait to get it home and start playing with it. He even tried to take it to bed the first night!
The first few days, he played with it repeatedly throughout the day. After a few days, he tired of it. He still enjoys the remote control aspect, but only uses it for 5 minutes or so at a time.
Pros: The BigFoot can do some pretty neat stuff, especially to a 4-year old boy! With the touch of a button, he roars, flips, burps, yells and throws a ball. The first time my son had him flip, he thought it was amazing and couldn't wait to do it over and over again. The remote is also easy to operate, and has just enough buttons to make it interesting and not overly complicated for the age group.
Cons: Some of the actions are not performed quite as smoothly or easily as on the commercials. For instance, to get the BigFoot to throw the ball, you have to place the ball just so, and hope the... Read more

This review is from: Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot The Monster (Toy)
My son got this for Christmas. Work good for the first few minutes then it locked up and gave 3 beep error. Took apart to investigate noticed a switch under the mouth. By depressing the switch the toy came back to life. This can be done by opening and closing the mouth (unit reset). The unit would lock everytime you would ask the toy to excersise. So took it back for another one. The second unit worked good but the thumb for the ball was stuck. Again took apart and noticed the unit was assembled wrong. Corrected the thumb by correct installation. Unit now works as advertised. So unless you are a Mechanical Engineer (like myself) this toy is not for you. When working toy is ok

This review is from: Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot The Monster (Toy)
What a horrible waste of money. I have two sons (2 and 5). The two year old LOVED this. He would give him hugs and cover him up with a blanket when Bigfoot would "sleep". My first clue that this toy wasn't worth the $$ was when after being charged for 4 hours on Christmas morning, it needed to be recharged AGAIN after the boys played with him for 30 minutes. Now, 4 days after Christmas the speaker in Bigfoot is broke! He makes all the facial and hand gestures, even still walks and flips (for now) but there is no sound coming out. My 5 year old is a bit sad but my two year old is still crying and asking for Bigfoot to talk.

Please, save yourself the cash and get something that will LAST!
