Is buying the magic 8 ball a waste of money

Magic 8 ball is fun and a great little gift. Awesome on a desk for the occasional laugh etc. Looks cool too - so not a waste of money at all.

As of nov 2020, will i be getting the mattel “magic 8 ball” pictured, or something else such as the “mystic 8 ball” posted by a reviewer?

I got the ‘mystic 8 ball’, not the Mattel product that I expected.

Do i receive the Mattel version pictured for 11.99 or the smaller cheap £6 version?

Hi If you purchase from Sun Direct you will receive the item pictured.

Does the magic 8 ball need batteries

I bought it and couldn’t see anywhere to put batteries so no
