Review of Arrow Copter

Customer Ratings:

This is a cross between a sling shot and a simple helicopter toy. That doesn't sound like much until you actually play with one of these things! It shoots 75-100 feet into the air (even for a younger kid), then floats down at a slow enough pace that you get to watch it for quite some time. We got one of these in a toy store and gave it to a friend's kid. Watched how it worked, then got one for each of our nephews and nieces...ahem, and then begged them to let me shoot it once in a while. :D Shoot somewhere away from copter-eating trees, for you want to keep ahold of this copter in order to shoot it over and over.

A simple toy that does all that it claims to. My only warning is to purchase multiples (either as individual Arrow Copters or two-packs):

First, like any flying toy, they *can* end up on rooftops, in trees or other inaccessible places, but that's if you exercise NO caution. But with a nice open space, and a little care, there's no reason that even young children can't enjoy these. Still, why risk having the fun end prematurely? (And trust me, these ARE fun!)

Second, once you see how much fun the kids are having, you'll be itching to snap a few into the air yourself, but you'll be hard-pressed to get the kids to share! :)

Third, they're inexpensive enough that purchasing even multiple two-packs won't shatter your wallet. Great to have on hand for stocking-stuffers, surprise gifts, or for when the young (or not so young) person in your life has had a rough day and could use a pick-me-up.

Fourth, though they won't survive true abuse or being driven over by a car, they're pretty sturdy for a lightweight flying toy.

Fifth, they're pretty harmless. Well, okay, if your kid can't be trusted not to shoot these at people, animals or breakables then this may not be the toy for him/her. But this would be a wonderful toy for any kid who isn't tempted by such impulses.

Sixth, they are a great way to get normally sedentary nerdy kids (like I was) running around outside in fresh air.

I remember getting these when they first came out and firing them off with great results -and I was only a six-year-old girl just starting first grade. Of course, back then, classmates gave me grief for playing with toys that weren't dolls, tea-sets, or other girly toys, but I didn't care. These were that much fun. Heck, I'm going to buy some for myself for old times' sake!

Congratulations on lasting this long, Arrow Copter! May you fly for many decades more!

Best Deals for Arrow Copter

As a young lad, I was often enticed into buying toys that claimed to soar into the sky 50ft, 100ft, 150ft or more, but I always came away disappointed, because they never lived up to their claims. Based on my childhood experiences, I didn't have high hopes for the Arrowcopter. Wow, was I shocked and amazed when I slung this thing for its first flight, and it effortlessly shot 150ft into the air. Once I started stretching the rubber band to its limit, the arrowcopter easily soared 300ft into the air. It's great fun. Makes a great stocking stuffer for any Dad...I mean, boy or girl.

Honest reviews on Arrow Copter

My son absolutely loves the arrowcopters. I sent these to a friend because I know her kids will love them too. They fly very well and are sturdier than some others I've seen.

I've played with this style toy in the past and they ROCK!

HOWEVER, I bought several of these this time and they were molded crooked. Bent to the point of not working even. ONE of the several I purchased worked ALMOST as intended after some careful twisting. I thought about sending them back and decided it wasn't worth my time, so I threw them in the trash after about ten minutes. Sigh...
