Mattel - Mattel Games - Magic 8 Ball Ruby Red Mattel 80th Anniversary Edition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It brings back core childhood memories my kids have spent the hours tossing it back and forth asking questions and making memories of their own they even made a game out of it. It is amazing what imagination can do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE the magic 8 ball! such a classic! Love see this toy still around. kid love asking it question and seeing the answer. time less treasure. no batteries needed! that's a plus! kids had fun passing ti back and forth. Great for car rides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy will always be a crowd pleaser. I gave it to my 13 year old, who asked it questions for 10 minutes straight. So, for a toy, I think it did a great job of keeping a teen entertained. The quality is good, and it has a red sparkle to it. Highly recommend for kids of all ages!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This magic 8 ball is a classic. It tells your fortune after being asked a question. It is a fun way to get answers to silly questions. I like the red anniversary edition color. It would make hreat gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The classic Magic 8 Ball is back in a shiny glittery red color and we are feel nostalgic! I suddenly feel the weight lifted off my shoulders and have given all my decisions over to the Ball. No more worrying if I am making the right choice, just trust in the ball.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great nostalgic toy for kids! Seems as durable as the original and has offered hours of fun for my kids. The kids love to ask the magic ball questions for better answers when they don’t agree with my answer LOL.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ruby Red Magic 8 Ball by Mattel is pretty cool (pun intended) I had a black 8 ball when I was a kid now my kiddos have this cool ruby red one to play with. Over all it's a fun item and works good as a paperweight on the desk that gives you something to waste time with when you need to take a few minutes break from whatever boring task you or your kids are working on, because lets face it this is as much a toy for adults as it is for kids! The one thing I don't like about it, the quality isn't as good as it was back in the day so that is disappointing. I took pics so you can see what I mean, sometimes the phrase doesn't pop in all the way and you can't read it. I find that disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this for my kids to share in my nostalgia from my childhood. My kids love asking questions and seeing what the Magic 8 ball says. It’s so much fun to hear them interact with it. Brings back fond memories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this magic 8 ball! My son is almost 5. Now that it's summer, we have been using it to decide on activities. Should we go to the pool? "Ask again later." Should we play cars? "Signs point to yes." This and a few hundred other fun uses! It's also been helping us with word recognition (which happens before reading!) as my son wants to look and have us read it. He can even recognize the word "Yes" now! This is such a nostalgic, simple, open ended, fun trip down memory lane for so many of us millennial parents. Lastly, just want to note the color & glitter design is really fun. Buy it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such an exciting toy for my kids to open! The packaging was easy to open, and the product is easy to use with the instructions clearly labeled on the packaging. I love that it’s a classic, easy to use toy, but I love the new red exterior, which gives it a new look compared to original magic 8 balls. My kids have had so much fun asking the questions and reading their answers. It’s sturdy, solid, and well made and can hold up to many shakes for questions and answers. We will be playing with this toy often for years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I presented the magic eight ball to my 6 year old grandson by telling him that I used to play with my friend's when I was little and it was really magic! He was a bit skeptical but was interested. He first tried to ask a question of the magic ball while it was still in the box, turning it over to get his answer. His question was a little complicated so the eight ball's response didn't make a lot of sense. His father and I both asked questions next to demonstrate simple queries, and he understood the concept. We took the magic eight ball out of the box but had to caution him not to treat it like a bouncy ball or it might break. We all enjoyed asking silly questions for a few rounds, although I had to explain some answers to him. Phrases like "you can rely..." or "my sources say..." are a bit advanced for a six year old. I had a little problem (vision wise) reading the phrases, the red made it not clear to my old eyes. When it was time to end our game and put the magic eight ball away, my grandson asked where the off switch was!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classic 8 Ball but glittery red. My children have had a blast asking questions and shaking to get a response. Of course “my reply is no” is the least favorite. Honestly, I’ve asked a few questions myself. Brings back fun memories of growing up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my grandson and he just loves it. It brings me back to my childhood days when I would ask 1,000 questions to my Magic 8 ball. I love the red color instead of the old black color. It seems just as sturdy and durable as the old ones. I am sure this will be great entertainment for a long time in my house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids use this Magic 8 ball to answer all of life’s questions. They even try and use it to ask me questions and then use the responses as definitive answers. Sometimes when there is an argument they will pull out the Magic 8 ball to provide solutions. It can make solving disagreements more fun than if “mom” tries to settle the disagreement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classic toy of yesteryear. Basically not much can be done to revamp this. Its simplicity without bells and whistles has always drawn people to it. The red color is off putting, classically 8 balls are black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love this magic 8 ball. The sparkled red color makes it much cooler than the regular black version we’ve all known over the years. It’s become a decision maker in our household, allowing my children to feel like they have the power “sway their fate.”

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Magic 8 Ball is a key piece of childhood nostalgia. I enjoy the updated red color. It is nice to see this generation of kids having fun with such a simple toy that involves nothing electronic or digital. Its simplicity is refreshing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic 8 ball was used in a home environment with my daughter who is 6yrs old. Box says 6+ for age but I think it should be 8+ due to the complex responses. Answers are not straightforward. Overall very sturdy and looks really nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We picked the 80th Anniversary Magic 8 Ball on a whim, and it turned out to be a hit - not just with the kids, but with the adults too. The classic toy has all the same charm as the original, but with a fresh twist: a sleek, bold red color that really stands out. Our family had a blast taking turns asking it life’s “important” questions, but I have to admit, I think I enjoyed it the most. So much so, it now lives on my desk in my office. It’s nostalgic, a little ridiculous, and still just as fun as ever. A perfect blend of retro and playful for kids and grown-ups.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The whole family had fun asking the 8 ball questions. Loved the color and design for this 80th anniversary 8 ball, I’ve never seen one like it before. I think it’s gonna be part of every family game night from now on!
