I just thought I would alert anyone possibly interested in this toy to double check that this hasn’t been recalled! I believe this one and the Sesame Street themed one have been recalled.

My 1-year old loved playing with this and trying to push or turn the pieces in the right way to get the figures to pop up and sing. But after 2 months, two of the five figures no longer sing the song when they pop up.

I bought this for my 17 month old daughter. The buttons are difficult to move. She likes it but gets very frustrated when she can’t make the animals pop up. They should make it easier for such small children. It is sometimes hard for me to open the little compartments.

I bought this toy for my baby boy. I remember my cousins had it when they where kids in the seventies. After shipping charges I ended paying almost $[...] for it. To my surprise the toy doesn’t resemble the picture as much as one would think. It is made of what seems to be PVC (hard and brittle) plastic instead of something a bit softer like most baby toys. The thing comes in an awful tint of yellow that is not quite as bright as it should and has a slight blueish hue that makes it look dirty. Some of the knobs are very hard for little kids to catch on quickly (my kid bypasses those altogether, although I figure he will eventually catch on). There is one that resembles a key and you turn it to make the character pop. The main problem with that one is that you have to mess with the key in order to close the lid with the character again. The craftsmanship is atrocious and I feel ripped-off. I contacted the seller but I do not feel that it is their fault. They only sell the thing they don’t make it. After hearing my complaint about the color the seller told me that it also comes in purple. Purple? Can’t they think of an even uglier color for the darn thing? All I wanted was the toy in the photograph in proper working order. You figure that is what you would be paying for. Needles to say, I will not be purchasing any more PLayskool products. Other baby toy companies have a manufacturing standard that is far beyond Playskool’s wildest dreams. Hasbro should be ashamed of having their name related to such poor quality products. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Better go with the tried and true products such as Fisher Price or Chicco.

Recalled or not, my 6 months old daugher loves this toy. She pushes and pulls the handles and toys are standing up, then she hits the toys and they go back. Very entertaining.
