Hi K - We are sorry to hear that your Terra Remote Control Spider stopped working. We are wondering if you tried to replace the original batteries with new brand-name ones in both the spider and the controller. Usually that is all it takes to get this creepy toy crawling again! If you tried batteries, and they didn't help, please go to the Terra website, click on "Contact Us" then "Customer Care" and fill out the online form. We want all of our customers to be completely satisfied. Sincerely, Team Battat

Lame
Save your money. It will only "crawl" on hardwood or solid surfaces. We have a very firm rug in our living room and it cannot move on it. It's very delayed in response when trying to control it. My son has a disability and likes it enough, but I would say it's junk for any typical child.

Hi Jen - Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the Terra Remote Control Spider. We are wondering if you put in new brand name batteries. Usually, that is all it takes to get our toys working properly again. Your comments have been shared with the design and engineering teams for review. Sincerely, Team Battat

Quit working
Stopped working not even a month after he got it for Christmas. He loved but the spider eyes would light up after new batteries but before you can even put it on the floor it would turn off.

Awesome!
My six year old grandson loved it, and his siblings were also enthusiastic about it! (His sixteen year old cousin wants one, too!!) Seems sturdy, moves fast, and big enough that it clearly is a toy (versus a real spider).

Such a cool toy! (Not for arachnophobes🤭)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy spider has been a hit! It looks super creepy and moves so fast it’s hard not to flinch. The lifelike movements and sound even startled our cat!😄 The remote is easy and safe to use, and my 8-year-old son has no trouble making it scuttle across the floor. I’m impressed with the quality— it’s very well made and looks durable. I also love that it’s ready to play straight out of the box since the batteries are already installed. The only downside is that it works best on smooth surfaces, but overall, it’s a fun toy that’s totally worth it!

Fun for a budding prank sinatra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So fun! My son loves this and thinks he is hilarious trying to scare us all. I appreciate that it’s SO big that it’s very obviously not a real spider. It’s also a little bit loud so best to use when there’s already a little commotion happening. Also great it comes with batteries already.

Would make great gift for kids !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been such a hit in our household because it provides hours of fun, laughter, yells and pranks, lol! The spider itself is pretty big and well-made (so definitely not flimsy). Also the remote controls can make this giant spider move very fast too!

Remote Tarantula at Play 🕷
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this and spider is creepy, if your kid is not familiar they won't like it. Pretty good for scare. Packaging is durable, product came undamaged. 15$ for this tarantula is great price. Battery came preinstalled, which was great. Works front ,back side ways. Only things I didn't like it's not as smooth moving like we do with remote cars. But still good enough to give it a try. Thank you for reading! Regards Ishan

Neat remote spider
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love it. It’s very durable and a safe toy to play with. Though it may raise your blood pressure if caught off guard. It moves really fast on tile, on carpet it’s a little slower. I think my kids enjoy this more than a remote control car.

Entertaining
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time ever seeing a spider remote control toy. My son couldn’t wait to open and play with it. It is very entertaining and comes with batteries already included which I love. The spider moves pretty fast and the controller was easy to use. It is durable and safe for your kids.
