Ask a yes or no question, then turn it over to see your answer. Hours of entertainment as you search for the truth! Review: Excellent Quality compared to others I’ve had! - Great 8 ball! I had a different one for years which was a non Mattel version. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the quality was compared to my old one. The answers are clear and easy to read. Review: Fun Toy if it's your thing! - I have bought this for a grandson who really wants one. I am sure it will be enjoyed. Hence I have given it 5*s. Looks well made and quite solid. You appear to be able to ask it questions and then it gives you answers. But basically although it has 20 different answers available they are really only of 'Yes' and 'No' and vague responses in between including 'ask again'! I am 73 so when I was a kid we had far more fun things to play with but that's not the point here I guess!! I don't doubt this will be appreciated but will be put aside pretty quickly. It's a shame - more non-recyclable plastic waste! Clearly this is written by a grumpy old man but at least it will light my grandson's face up! Received promptly as usual from desertcart. ## Features - The original Magic 8 Ball novelty toy has all the answers to your deepest questions. - After “asking the ball” a yes or no question, turn the toy upside-down and wait for your answer to be revealed through the window. - Answers range from positive (“It is certain”) to negative (“Don’t count on it”) to neutral (“Ask again later”). - It’s the fastest way to seek advice. - Includes 1 Magic 8 Ball novelty toy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00001ZWV7 | | Age Range Description | 6Y+ | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,050 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 1 in Magic Tricks (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Magic 8 Ball | | Colour | ['Black'] | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 11,481 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Numeracy & Spacial Awareness | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00085633070996 | | Included Components | Toy | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 10.2 x 10.2 x 9.8 centimetres | | Item Part Number | 30188 | | Item Type Name | Toy | | Item Weight | 249 Grams | | Manufacturer | Mattel | | Manufacturer Part Number | 30188 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 years | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 1332 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 72 | | Model Number | 30188 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | manual winding | | Set Name | Magic 8 Ball | | Size | Magic 8 Ball | | Sub Brand | (-) | | Subject Character | Magic 8 Ball | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Fantasy | | UPC | 787799323748 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Images ![Mattel Games Magic 8 Ball Classic Novelty Toy for Ages 3+ | Ask a Question & Turn Over for the Answer, Fortune-Teller for Kids, Teens & Families, 30188 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912ee3s8zXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is buying the magic 8 ball a waste of money** A: Magic 8 ball is fun and a great little gift.
