 One of the few toys I don't want to throw in the trash July 29, 2010
T. Machesney (New Haven, CT)
This Morphibian was a gift to my son 3 or 4 years ago from a friend, we've also had a fleet of other rc toys (gifted from Grandpa) each fancier than the next but the Morphibian is the only one that's earned its place in our playroom. Let me tell you why...
it's quite,
simple enough for my 2 year old to use by herself,
there are no extra or protruding parts to break off or get lost,
it's water proof and fully functional in the pool,
it has great traction even when "rigged" to be a tow truck,
the batteries are standard, rechargeable (not true for most other rc toys we've had),
after 3 or 4 years it still works AND gets played with,
it's quite (did I say that already?)
 Don't buy this July 13, 2010

This item is a reject we bought it for my son's 5th birthday. He open it and was so excited to get it out and try it. He drove in around in the cabin a bit then out into the yard he went. After he got the hang of it I told him it could go in water too. So he drove it down to the beach and into the lake after about 30 seconds in the water it quit working. I let it dry and then it would work sometimes for about 5 seconds then quit. Later that day the remote would be activated even tho nobody was touching it (red light on remote lets you know it's activated. Also now if you turn on the car it goes in a circle and you can't stop it even with the batteries out of the remote. So about 5 minutes of fun and now we have another toy he loves but can't use!!!!!!!!
Great value July 12, 2010

These little guys blast around, the batteries seem to last for hours and hours and are the best thing that I could find before stepping up to close to $100 for much higher-end toys. My 4 year-old son hasn't really mastered the steering yet but the toys are great.
Great toy if you only want to play with it twice July 9, 2010

I should have listened to the review that said 'this toy will break, if you buy it and it stops working then I told YOU'. This toy worked once right after we bought it. The batteries were dead the next day. Replaced them. Used it once more for an hour, had a lot of fun. Batteries ran out. Replaced them. Then we tried to use it a third time at the beach and it worked for about 5 minutes and then quietly passed away. Now the wheels don't turn at all. It is totally dead. Such a waste of money. Disappointing because my son loved this toy for the few minutes when it worked.

I've been playing RC cars ever since I was 4. I have switched to mini indoor rc cars such as mini-z, epoch 1/43, digi-q, bit-char-g, xmods and so on. I also still have big rc cars from nikko and tamiya.
First, the picture on Amazon is wrong, this gator car has NO lights. May be the older version one had them but not this one. Therefore not only the picture is wrong the description is also wrong. I hope Amazon can correct this soon.
I bought this one not knowing it has no lights. Not only that, the car has intermittent problem. It suddenly stops and it won't start again. My eneloops were fully charged both in remote and car, I also confirmed with my multimeter as well. Just for the sake of doing stupid test, I replaced the eneloops with my brand new alkalines - same result. I can't isolate the problem but I believe it's internal wiring which I'd rather not mess around to void warranty.
The biggest blow was - during the few minutes the car was working, I was very puzzled. I understand the 4x4 system is different than normal car but why when the right button is pushed forward the car is going to left? It contradicts and confuses the hell of my kids. Before they got more confused I gave it a try as well and I dislike this very much.
I decided to return - I can't stand this product and I can't recommend this to anyone.
