Crate Creatures Surprise- Snort Hog

Great toy my boys love them! My only reason for giving 4 stars is the fact that I bought 2 and they both arrived not working and when I checked the batteries they had both leaked fluid

Kids love it

The kids seem to love this thing. The Unboxing experience is designed to be a big part of the toys appeal for children, and something that they will want to do over an over. The idea is that this is a small monster which has been locked in a crate. The child uses the attached 'crowbar' to first break open the padlock and then pry open the crate (both done by pushing the crowbar into the appropriate slots), upon which the monster is pushed up via the spring-loaded platform it is stood on and opens the lid.The monster itself is built well and makes lots of sounds based on the orientation it is being held in. It shouts and rumbles when you pull its tongue and its eyes light up. It spends a lot of time slurping, burping and trumping which is the most hilarious thing to my two young boys. Each comes with a piece of food which they respond to when it is pushed into their mouth, but my children have had difficulty pushing these into the monsters hands securely, and have quickly become lost.The toy is good, and I feel the ability to release the monster from its crate over and over again has added a lot of mileage to something which would have otherwise been buried in the toy box.

Bought as a gift my son will love it

I bought this as a daily deal a few days ago. It was a Christmas present for my son from Santa. It looked great when being unboxed. It’s so interactive with a toy style crow bar. But it didn’t work. So I presumed it didn’t have any batteries in it. I opened the battery pack only to find old batteries had leaked and corroded, damaging the battery contact points. I’ve contacted Amazon who will only issue a refund on return of the toy, not a replacement. This means I’ve got to explain to my son why I’m returning Santa’s present to Amazon :(

It reminded me of 90s toys like Boglins and My Pet Monster. The box is cool, you use the bottom of the crowbar to open the padlock and chain and the the top end to push the button to open the box and the monster pops out.You click his horn to make eyes spin (sometimes it got stuck but you can manually nudge it and it rolls Into normal position easily. Pull his tongue to make him scream and vibrate. Feed him pizza and you can record if you hold his tummy for ten second and when light flashes record your voice, then play back when you press his tummy.When put him back in box he snores...Kids loved it. It has a heavy feel to it. The material elements could be a bit more premium, especially around the Velcro section where battery and on button are. However, this is not really a concern.

Bought this for my 7 yr old for Christmas, it was in the Black Friday sale - he hadn’t asked for it, but it made a good addition to his presents and we were really pleased with how good it is. The box can be kept I’ve added a photo - it has a lock that is opened by the crowbar and then the box is opened with the crowbar all good fun. The monster toy itself is great very good quality, lights up, moves it’s wings when you squeeze the tail and make loads of great noises, but the best feature is the recording device- push the button on the belly and it records what you say and plays it back in a monster voice. My son is having lots of fun recording is all and playing it back. Very pleased. It takes 3 AA batteries and although it comes with batteries inside I would have some spare as the demo batteries don’t last long.

I bought this for my brother's son, and I have to say he wouldn't let it go. He loved the voice changer and kept recording messages to give to his family. Just to note, when a kid pulls this thing's tongue it keeps screaming and shaking until they let it go, which is more funny than irritating (to my surprise). It is a really animated little toy and the cage, lock and crow bar are all a nice touch. This one feels like a real find as a gift, which is always a good sign of quality.
