HATCHIMALS WOW, Llalacorn 32-inch (81.3 centimetres) Tall Interactive with Re-Hatchable Egg (Styles May Vary)

Product Information

The Llalacorn we revealed was the purple one and she has a pretty face, glowing eyes and a soft fluffy body, Neve was pretty keen to take her out the egg, bringing her in for a little cuddle before we started to play. My eldest as per usual had seen some videos on YouTube and was telling me exactly how we would be hatching this exciting creature! The voice recording element is fun, and the girls enjoyed recording their own messages and then playing them back everytime we touched her foot. Unfortunately for us the Hatchimals WOW didnt quite live up to our expectations, but based on other reviews I think we have just been a little unlucky this time around. The Pros and Cons of course can help you make a decision about whether or not you think this is the toy for your child, this Christmas.

Overall I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the Hatchimals WOW, in comparison to the Hatchimals Hatchibabies we reviewed last year. The appeal of the “big reveal” hatching their characters had certainly not worn off yet, but I have often wondered what more they can possibly do with the brand. You will hear struggling and cracking until the Hatchimals Wow pops out of the egg with a "Tada" and plays happy birthday music - A Hatchy Birthday! The online videos demonstrate a number of fun games you can play with your Hatchimals WOW including Chase the Fruit, recording your voice, hypnotising your Hatchimal and tapping her to grow and POP.

Don’t forget there is also the Llalacorn’s confetti fruit accessory inside one of the corners of the box – you will need this later! The instructions are not easy to follow on the fly, so it is ideal to have a rough idea what to expect before you start. Nested inside a re-hatching egg, the Hatchimals WOW Llalacorn has a neck that can grow up to 32 inches tall and shrink down completely on its own, and comes in one of two colours – pink or purple. We used a table or worktop, so please bear this in mind or you may have some very disappointed kids. Hypnotise it by holding the back of it's head and forehead at the same time, the eyes will turn pink.

For example when recording your voice, there are so many things you can do and kids will need help with this.We saw a video of someone ‘hatching’ theirs and my kids literally went ‘wow’ when it rose up out of the egg. My eldest did manage to do this BUT we both said we preferred the hatching process with the Hatchimals Hatchibabies.
