    My daughter LOVES this toy. The tail can light up, it talks and makes cute noises. We may have gotten a damaged on as we bought it in store, but after the first day one of the buttons stopped working about half the time you press it.

    Such a cute toy and my little guy (5) loved it when it worked. The lights and sounds were great and there were giggles a plenty at my house when Pikachu worked. Unfortunately those giggles didn't last too long. First Pikachu arrived broken as one of his hands wouldn't work and some of his actions wouldn't...activate. Exchanged for a new one, this one arrived with one of his cheeks not lighting up. Exchanged again and this one completely worked! For 2 hours....then his cheek went out (opposite one of the previous Pikachu) and within another hour one of his hand switches stopped working. I'm at a loss as my little guys really loves it, but these things are so cheaply made they break even before getting to the kids...and no way they can survive kids playing! So back to the store this one goes. For the price, you would assume it could be made to last at least a week, but we're going to have to put Pikachu's price towards something that might last more than a couple hours. Too bad....

    Before I purchase the toy, I made sure I pick one that works. A lot of the other Pikachus didn't light up or make noises at the store. I even ask an employee if they had more in their back room. But what they had on the shelf is all they had. So I bought the only one that worked. Well, after Christmas morning my lil brother opened his gift and try it. It made noise but the tail doesn't light up any more, I was going to return it but my lil brother fell in love with it...broken tail and all. I would recommend this but make sure it works as it should...

    Our little boy loves pikachu and this is perfect for him. It makes all kinds of sounds, sings, and talks. The lightning tail and cheeks light up. This is the best pikachu doll out there.

    I bought this for my son for Christmas. He absolutely loved it and carried it around with him everywhere. For the first day... the day after Christmas he pointed out that one of Pikachus hands wouldn’t make it light up and make sounds. I tried changing the batteries which fixed the problem for a few hours. It’s cheeks wouldn’t light up and then it started working, completely. I tried changing the batteries, but it still won’t work. So now I have a disappointed 5 year old that gets upset everytime pikachu won’t light up and say it’s name. Just wish it would’ve lasted him longer than a couple of days, especially considering he wasn’t being rough with it. He was just carrying it around everywhere he went.

    My son wanted a stuffed pikachu, so I bought this one. After an hour of having it 1 of the buttons stopped working and it had a little tear in it. If I would have known 1 of the buttons was going to stop working I would have never bought it.

    This toy is fun! Lights up and my not even 2 year old loves it. He grabs the hands and it does different things. The demo in store is a special demo mode, he does more things once you take him home. Deducting one star because one cheek doesn't light up, didn't feel like it was worth exchanging though.

    I bought this as a gift for my friends daughter and she loves it. She found the buttons on the hands and giggles every time he talks and lights up. The tail lights up when you shake him, but the one I got you really have to SHAKE it to get it to work.

    First time I got one of these was on Amazon and it was a huge hit with the kids. Sadly, it stopped working even after replacing the batteries so we came on here to get one again. They are great for any kid who loves Pikachu!
