Didn't last long
This toy only lasted about 5 months with very little use, it was used maybe one or two times a month. The charge never lasted long. And now it sticks to the wall when fully charged, but when you push the buttons on the controller, it doesn't move anywhere. tried replacing the batteries in the controller, and still doesn't move.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!
If you listen to any review for this item, please let it be this one. This toy is a piece of junk. It is cheaply made, flimsy, and not even worth pennies, let alone the $30 they’re charging. My son wanted this for his birthday so I ordered it for target pickup. I didn’t realize until I went to wrap it, that it had clearly be opened and returned, because it was all taped to the packaging. Nonetheless, I wrap it and my son is so excited to play with it. We take it out, it’s broken. My husband goes to target the morning of his birthday to exchange it. We get an unopened one, take it out, IT IS BROKEN!!!!!! This toy is terrible. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!

SO much fun!
This toy has brought so much joy and fun to my kids! The suction to be able to use it on the wall is strong and very effective. It's truly such a cool toy!

Stopped working
Purchased for my 4 year old for Christmas. Great while it lasted… he’s only used it a handful of times in less than 3 months and it no longer moves up the wall. I even tried on the floor and it’s hit or miss. Target says it’s not eligible for return. Disappointed.

Not worth the money
Item was cheaply made and did not go easily up walls. I bought four for a group but the controllers were not exclusive to each toy so each could not be operated separately. Also the charge only lasted a brief time. I returned them!

Poor battery life but great toy!
My son LOVES this thing. It seems pretty durable despite being made of flimsy plastic. My biggest complaint is that the lizard battery only lasts about 5-10 minutes before it just shuts off which is disappointing. It would entertain him for hours if the battery life was longer. It does recharge within 30 minutes or so. We have tried charging for longer periods and overnight, but it doesn’t change the length of use for play.

Fun for a few days before it breaks ; poor quality
It's cute and fun while it works the first few days. Also, if you have it on the mode where is climbs on the walls, it will only work for about 10-12 minutes before needing to be charged again. Its more like a Dollar General / 5 Below quallity item that should be about $6-7 really. It's a very disappointing Christmas present when the tail and one of the legs stops moving and working properly within a week; if you want your 7-9 year old to first get excited then days later upset / mad at Santa buy this. I would not recommend buying it and disappointing your kiddos. Cool idea but it's very poor quality and not made to last at all. It is nice that you can tell if it's fully charged or charge by if the eyes are blinking or just shining.

I had to return it
Did not work properly. Not sure if it was due to it being a defective product. Falls off walls. Concept is cool, but does not work properly.
