User Submitted Hungry Hungry Hippos Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-10-11 This toy is absolutely horrible I will NEVER buy anything from Hasbro. My son received Hungry Hungry Hippos for this birthday. One of the four hippos never worked--pieces were missing from the box. The plastic is so flimsy that the other three get hung up and rarely work. You can't put the game away without taking the hippos off (no small task--I have pinched my fingers several times), and no child can do it alone. It is absolutely the worst toy we have ever had the misfortune of receiving. Date: 2008-09-04 They must be joking!!!! Cheap, cheap, cheap!!! This product used to be fun when I was a kid. I just bought it for my kids, and I am tremendously disappointed. Initially, I thought it was going to be okay. The instructions were decent, and it went together fairly easily. The first red flag was when I took the marbles out - they are plastic! Who ever heard of plastic marbles? Then, once we started to play, it became apparent how cheaply the game is made because the hippos kept getting stuck and had to be fiddled with to work again. That was when I first started considering returning it. The icing on the cake was when I tried to put it away. I think you may need the fingers of a child and the strength of a man to partially dissassemble the game to make it fit back in the box. It has small plastic tabs that were snapped into place to put it together, and then have to be pinched to be released to take it apart. The only problem is that it clearly wasn't made to be taken apart. I would love to see my husband trying to do this. He wouldn't be able to fit his fingers in, yet there is not way my daughter could do it either. Cheap, cheap, cheap. I am becoming disappointed with Milton Bradley/Hasbro toys that I have bought in recent years, such as Mousetrap, Cootie, Don't Spill the Beans, etc. Date: 2008-07-22 Cheap Plastic Garbage It is really pitiful that they would make a piece of trash like this toy. The plastic quality is HORRIBLE. The lightweight plastic balls barley roll and wind up just sittng on the playing field. The hippos Jam constantly. Total Garbage. Date: 2008-06-25 I Was Never That Hungry, Hungry My 3 year old daughter loves this game. It is a pain to take it apart to store it. It appears to be durable if taken care of and not abused. The "marbles" aren't real marbles, and I think real marbles would be easier to play with, but maybe these are safer somehow. It's getting alot of use, and makes my daughter happy, which makes me happy, so I would recommend buying it. Date: 2008-04-22 a ton of fun for all I have small children so i replaced with the marbles with cereal so that my two year old son could play. The hippos come un attached when everyone is really excited but are easily put back. Toy is durable and a lot of fun.The game is worth the price because you and your kids will love it.
