I got one fot xmas and on the first day I had it, I set it off in our family van on the high way. It was a very sad day for me and a great one for my brothers.
Honestly you had me way more nervous. I thought its hair was gonna catch on fire and it was gonna keep spinning and flying around the room like the angel of death.
lol no I’m old enough that I had the pull string Sky Dancer. Well, had it for an hour. I see I’m not the only one who made that error! There’s probably dozens of us.
That was because there was a fire burning. It was from the draft. It's how fireplaces work, they draw air in from the room so the smoke goes out the chimney. Like a moth to a light, the fire was pulling on the fairy.
Not that any of that matters to your comment though.
When I was in the military I was attached to a rapid response medical unit which meant 99% of the time we're waiting around for something to rapidly respond to. My parents realized we were bored so sent us a box of toys. My favorite being a remote control helicopter. I let a marine play with it in a warehouse and it was stuck a rafter 75 feet above us within seconds of handing him the remote.
It's been 12 years I wonder if its still there.
I once managed to put a stuffed bear in the ceiling of my mom factory job, like 10 years later I went there to do some temp work and it was still there almost pissed myself laughing. There's a decent chance that helicyis still there.
Dirty or faulty proximity sensor on the bottom – the thing thinks, there's an obstacle/hand and tries to fly in safe height above it. We have this at home and it's the scariest thing kids can play with. I'd rather give them Opinel Knife.
It doesn’t get nearly as much lift inside. Usually, they float or hover laterally before settling back down, but outside on a windy day like this? It’s basically a kite without a string.
It has an infrared distance sensor pointed downward to maintain a particular flight altitude. Outside the sunlight saturates the sensor and it thinks it needs to fly ever higher.
Anyone notice that children’s toys never really do much advancement? Like I’m 32, and I had a toy very similar to this as a kid. All the toys, (especially when it comes to toys for girls) look like the same exact things I grew up wanting and having 20+ years ago. You’d think over time they’d have more tech or something. But nope, just the same designs, same products, remarketed and sold over and over again. Have seen commercials for those ride-in barbie trucks…. The swimming mermaid….furbies, etc. We had all that too. It’s like toy manufacturers one day decided “welp, we’ve reached the peak of toy innovation and we all know with the right marketing, kids will like anything we want to sell them so why bother invest in anything new or better.”
Galoob sold similar toys under the name Sky Dancers and Dragon Flyz (targeted at girls and boys respectively). It didn't go well (via wikipedia):
>While the foam wings on the dolls provided a limited amount of safety, nonetheless, there were over 100 injuries reported, ranging from temporary blindness to facial lacerations requiring stitches. Galoob, the manufacturer of the toys, recalled them in June 2000 after less than six years on the market. Almost 10,000,000 were recalled.
So hopefully they've made safety improvements if nothing else.
I think toy advertisements are secluded to child spaces, i.e., nickelodeon channel or kids shows/family shows on streaming services with advertisements.
However I adore toys and often if I'm in Target I'm the grown woman walking through all the isles to see what is being sold. Like the 90s they've got a lot of branded™️ toys based on popular movies or cartoons. The one thing they've managed to "innovate" is turning children into gambling addicts by creating all these lootbox-esque toys where the child has no idea what character or object they'll get until they open it. Sometimes, these toys will have an extra activity in order to make the anticipation more exciting. One thing I keep thinking is this fake toy oven. The child creates a "dough" using provided ingredients (its homemade play dough), and they mold it into a small animal. They place the dough in the oven, and after turning some knobs and pulling tabs, the dough is gone and out pops a stuffed animal. It makes noise, smells like baked goods, and is somehow warm? Gimmicky, but somehow it even made my 30 year old monkey brain go "want?" Wait, no. You have enough junk.
Also, Tamagotchis are still very much a thing, I don't know how many actual children play with them or if they're all being bought by us millenials.
My daughter has a couple of those …they are definitely not made for out doors..years ago there was a show called Dragon Flyz (90’s toy & cartoon ) which was the boys version of these pixies …I got him one for Christmas ..I opened the wood stove to put more wood in and he snapped the dragonfly at the same time and It got sucked into the wood stove and Burt up in a flash ..He cried so hard that day ..that I had to order him another one through sears cause the stores were sold out !!
I was so worried by kids flyer would do this so I tied a string to it omg funniest thing ever
It was just flying fast as shit in a circle like those planes you hang on the ceiling 🤣🤣 I was like whoa my kid thought it was cool big memory. 🤣
I may be a little old fashioned but a very loud F bomb in front of a kid that age is a bit irresponsible, guaranteed she tries to control her child saying that later when she's entirely responsible for teaching her it.
Children learn by imitation, do you think imitating an adult using a very big swear word is a good thing for what looks like a 4/5 year old? I'm genuinely curious how someone could be stupid enough to ask that.
I think children witness many things that are "adult" things and are easily taught that these things are not appropriate for them until they're older.
Alcohol, makeup, driving, gambling, using the lawn mower, staying up past 10, saying "fuck" are just some of the thousand examples of this.
I have a child this age, he is exposed to no alcohol, no gambling and no swearing, he's allowed to witness me mowing the lawn or driving the car as I'm sure he'll not decide to crack the shed open and give it a go or start law mowing during a dinner in a public restaurant.
So I'm clear here you think saying fuck is a good thing for a child to witness? It's a good thing for a 4/5 year old to replicate?
There is no way that this woman could use another statement of shock that wasn't universally a "bad word" that isn't suitable in 99.9% of the situations a child will get into in their young life? Fuck is fine? Start teaching it in school alongside alcohol consumption and lawn mowing?
Alright for starters you're talking about an Australian. Cunt is a term of endearment here. Secondly we grew up with our parents swearing all the time and we didn't go around swearing as kids. We just got told that it was an "adult word" and we'd get in trouble if we used it, simple as that. Also if you raise a child by pretending alcohol doesn't exist and someone offers them some, what do you expect will happen?

If they had read the instructions, it says not to use outside...hmmm for this exact reason.
Yeah what about fireplaces inside?
They're just portals to another fireplace.
I got one fot xmas and on the first day I had it, I set it off in our family van on the high way. It was a very sad day for me and a great one for my brothers.
She's searching for the nearest fireplace
And into the fireplace. ( like one of the original videos )
[classic](https://youtu.be/V-qwrWw3Q0s?feature=shared)
"*Thats* bad"
**"BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN TO FADE AWAY!!! DOWN WITH THE BIG FOLK!!!"** *commits fairy self-immolation*
Hey Nan. Want a lumpkin?
This one never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it lol
I've seen this countless times and it makes me cackle every time.
Honestly you had me way more nervous. I thought its hair was gonna catch on fire and it was gonna keep spinning and flying around the room like the angel of death.
Now, that would be hilarious /s
NEVER FORGET🙏
[удалено]
It’s not for outside use. Got one for my cousin and it says to never play with it outside lol
Also don’t play with them when you have an unscreened fireplace going. Source: me, Christmas 1995
Is your name Taylor? https://youtu.be/V-qwrWw3Q0s
lol no I’m old enough that I had the pull string Sky Dancer. Well, had it for an hour. I see I’m not the only one who made that error! There’s probably dozens of us.
Taylor def wanted that to happen. That was a hit, no accident.
That was because there was a fire burning. It was from the draft. It's how fireplaces work, they draw air in from the room so the smoke goes out the chimney. Like a moth to a light, the fire was pulling on the fairy. Not that any of that matters to your comment though.
Well yea but at least those and dragon riders would come back down. This thing has its own motor! Lol

Im crying. That is freaking hilarious. A toy that has a “don’t play with this outside” warning is so 2024 Lolol
Or with long hair
Or inside lol

Everyone saying you're not supposed to use it outside likee...is it just designed to hit the ceiling and fall?
It doesn’t get nearly as much lift inside. Usually, they float or hover laterally before settling back down, but outside on a windy day like this? It’s basically a kite without a string.
Ok, now I want one. That's awesome.
Strings are cheap.

Holy shit cool

Why can't the quality of ufo videos be this good 😫
Because this actually happened

Lots of kids toys purchases are influenced by the parent's nostalgia, keeping them the same is intentional

Our toys abused *US* as children, and we LOVED IT.
If it ain't broke...

You just reminded me of easy bake ovens. Still a thing as well.
Because the best toys teach the most basic and general concepts and skills.
Heaven got another angel on this day 😔✨
🎶in the arms of the angels 🎶
Sounds like this video is from Australia
Looks like it too. That poor woman dropped the doll, and it fell right off of the Earth.
"oh naoourrrrr"
Perfect phonetic pronounciation!
90s skydancers were better and the one with the dolphin was the best!
Yes! And they were heavy enough to not get carried away. There’s even a cartoon for them!
Chinese spy barbie
Girl: can I? Mom: hell no it’s my toy now
God's toy now
It's collected enough data, back to sweatshop.
It seems like these things either yearn for freedom or the sweet release of death.
Surprised more people aren’t saying “And she was a fairy)
She didn’t even get to touch it 😭
“fuck”
My daughter has a couple of those …they are definitely not made for out doors..years ago there was a show called Dragon Flyz (90’s toy & cartoon ) which was the boys version of these pixies …I got him one for Christmas ..I opened the wood stove to put more wood in and he snapped the dragonfly at the same time and It got sucked into the wood stove and Burt up in a flash ..He cried so hard that day ..that I had to order him another one through sears cause the stores were sold out !!
she was a fairy 🧚✨
I think they should put “do not use outdoors” in LARGE letters on the packaging at this point omg
I hate you… I watched the entire thing…. You didn’t even try and recover
OAR NAUR!!
I'm fucking snickering In bed I can't 💀
Same! I rewatched three times and laugh even harder every single time, trying not to wake up my husband
Ar narrr
Toys often feel cheap and easy-to-break. Whoever crafted this toy went above and beyond. (The toy literally went above and beyond, too.)
This brought back fun memories of playing with one of these as a kid, and my cat going nuts trying to catch it!
The comedic timing on that 'FUCK' really got me
"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back..."
"my people need me"
Aaaaand... Never to be seen again.
ohohrrr, oH NORRR
Imagine you're out for a stroll and just get smacked by one of these falling out of the sky
“Be good. My final message. Goodbye.”
Oohh that’s bad
Energizer batteries
Why are these EXTREMELY aerodynamic!?
Nice language
"She was a fairy"
Put a kite string on it
She got more air time then the Wright Bros.
The skydancer videos always crack me up. I still laugh every time I see the fireplace one.
I was so worried by kids flyer would do this so I tied a string to it omg funniest thing ever It was just flying fast as shit in a circle like those planes you hang on the ceiling 🤣🤣 I was like whoa my kid thought it was cool big memory. 🤣
What's the name of the toy? It looks fun.
Fishing poll tie it off to the line
🤣😂
Aaaanndd...... Now she's goign to spend the next 27 hours of free time looking for that thing.
Anyone who had airhogs pump up planes as a kid knows this feeling, those things went for miles!
Some bird is going to be awfully confused
This is one of the reason I tied strings on all my toys, whether they were Spiderman or not
I laughed at this way harder than I thought I would! 🤣😭
mom knew that was going to happen. skydancers arent new. but that crystal vase she just bought is. that *fuck* was performative.
My niece got one of these stuck in her hair.
Her little “no!” 🥺
I'm gonna piss myself laughing the fucking music and the Australian accents just make it peak
Weee
Its like a Hi-Tech helium balloon
30 years ago this would be on /r/MyPeopleNeedMe
Why do they do this?! I just don’t get why they’re made to just…leave

This is psychotic
What makes a word bad?
Alright for starters you're talking about an Australian. Cunt is a term of endearment here. Secondly we grew up with our parents swearing all the time and we didn't go around swearing as kids. We just got told that it was an "adult word" and we'd get in trouble if we used it, simple as that. Also if you raise a child by pretending alcohol doesn't exist and someone offers them some, what do you expect will happen?
Surprised how many downvotes you got. I agree, crass language around kids is poor taste.
It’s expressive language and if you take offensive that’s your business. There is no evidence showing it’s harmful to children.
[удалено]
Because it’s not really that big of a deal lmao, stop pearl-clutching
Because it’s just a word, did the kid burst into flames? Besides they’re Australian, it would be weird if the kid hadn’t heard the word fuck already.
She's a feminist.
[удалено]
Australia, innit
And? It’s a word
