Title: Needs some Resign Work

Date: Aug 06, 2010

The basic shell of the skull seems to be strong enough to absorb child's play. the packaging for this item is poor and did not protect the timer button on the rear of the skull. There is a battery compartment on the bottom with a screw to hold the cover closed. The packaging was intact when the product arrived but a small piece of plastic was rolling around inside. This was the shaft button for the rear timer switch which activates a few seconds of the flashing, multicolored led lighting. There is also a slide switch on the bottom which turns on continuous lighting. The included batteries had leaked but did not damage the battery contacts. The lighting worked good after battery replacement. The battery cover screw was very small and short and was also replaced with a slightly larger screw. The skull lighting has already survived several drops and is great fun for play, party decor and as an acting prop. I do not think the rear timer switch button would survive a direct drop so the button shaft was not repaired. A soft touch or bubble button redesign is needed to improve durability for kids. But it is a fun item and the lighting shows up well even in normal daylight.
