I know some adult women that would be fans of this sort of thing as well.

amonkie · 09-09-2007, 04:41 PM

Question is .. who's actually going to return them?

Baraka_Guru · 09-09-2007, 05:00 PM

Instrument of the devil! Burn all the Harry Potter books!

They start so young.

mixedmedia · 09-10-2007, 07:27 AM

My daughter had one of these...picked up at a thrift store. She was in a 'Kiki's Delivery Service' phase and I thought she'd have fun with it. heh

Wasn't until I got it home that one of my other daughters discovered that it, uh, vibrates.

And I thought the exact same thing...what the fuck were they thinking?

Funny, though.

Bill O'Rights · 09-10-2007, 08:04 AM

Other than the painfully obvious, is there a reason that these things were made to vibrate?

mixedmedia · 09-10-2007, 08:22 AM

It's that magic feeling, Bill.

LoganSnake · 09-10-2007, 01:26 PM

This is actually around 3 years old

Frosstbyte · 09-10-2007, 01:43 PM

Old or not, it's still pretty damn hilarious and I approve of its resurfacing. What was really amazing were the reviews that people had posted on amazon.com, but those have all long since disappeared. Ah well. Real marketing genius came up with this one.

SecretMethod70 · 09-10-2007, 02:21 PM

It's a shame. If I had a pubescent daughter who liked Harry Potter, I'd totally get it for her. Easy way to encourage healthy exploration without the embarrassment of her parents buying her a vibrator

Resurected...for your amusement.

Here are some reviews from parents who have purchased the gift for their children on Amazon.com:

This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, although it has no educational value I figured it would be good for imaginative play. It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized that the toy may offer a more than sensational experience. The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed.

I recently bought this for my son, Vantro. He's a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Seen the movie 32 times (in the theaters) and made the paper. This toy gives him the ability to fly around the house zapping things. My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast and his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.

When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.

My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick! A great buy for any Harry Potter fan!
