Not well built
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Terra RC shark toy looks fun but was disappointing. The tail kept falling off, making it hard to use. The kids quickly got frustrated and lost interest.

Bad design
We bought this and it was fun for a couple of uses and then the remote stopped working. This will obviously make your lil one upset. So good luck.

Other reviews are deceptive
I was hesitant to buy this for my 3 year old boy based on the low star rating. After reading them though it seemed like the only issue was that people thought for some reason it would work outside of water. I’m so glad I got it for my boy because it works great in our pool and is so easy to use! I wish people would read descriptions before buying something like this, of course the toy shark is meant for use in pools and tubs.

Scam
Despite reading all instructions, charging the shark and putting fresh batteries in the remote, our shark does not work. The only feature that works is the "auto" feature which makes the shark swim in circles but you can't control the shark as advertised. My son who loves playing in the pool was so disappointed. Bought for a birthday gift. If you are considering... buy something else!

Works only in water! But not the remote
Go it charged it and was like ok it doesn’t work. Then I’m like maybe I should read the instructions and it says it only works in water. My only gripe is the remote isn’t water proof

The Toy of Disappointment and Tears
Honestly it’s almost scam-worthy that they are still selling this junk with all the negative reviews stating the same issue. Like many others, ours was a one time use toy as well. I then had to deal with a very upset little boy when I told him it was broken and needs to be returned and why we wouldn’t be buying a new one.

Apparently one-time use.
Worked once, and that was it. It seems to be shorting out when trying to charge for a second time. What as waste of money.

Amazing toy, too bad it stops working after 1 use
Awesome for first use. Now won’t charge, no matter how long I keep it plugged in. So frustrating.

Defective Item
If I could give this a no star I would. The item does not work. I couldn’t even return the item because it was a Xmas gift and the box was ripped out of excitement. When we put the shark on the charger it don’t charge.
