I got this as a Christmas present for my daughter and it’s been a lot of fun! I remember always wanting one myself as a kid so I was excited to see her enjoying it! I will say it doesn’t hold the attention for long but it definitely gets used and is very entertaining with not only her but friends also! Would definitely recommend!

You have to tilt it at the right angle to see the message. It’s a little difficult but works
Decent for its price

Love that it looks just the the old one. Only downfall is that the triangle doesn’t always come up so you have to move it around a bit and it’s kinda small.
Terrible

Never thought I’d need to write a review about a magic 8 ball, but this one is so terrible. Reading each message is nearly impossible. There are spots on each side of the shape, the font is difficult to read, and sometimes the shape gets stuck and won’t budge. Don’t buy this one.

It's just like I remembered. The blue liquid was cloudy at first which made it difficult to read but it's still just a fun decoration/toy that reminds me of the one I had when I was a kid.

Upon opening, it instantly was leaking blue liquid. It easily washed off but still. Ended up in the trash

Not anything like the original one. I thought the one I bought was defective, but I guess it’s just a terrible design. It’s sad that a classic toy is now a badly designed shell of the original. Don’t buy.

Not as good as they used to be. The triangle doesn’t want to come up to the top all the way so it’s hard to read it.
