GeospaceGeoFlux Dual Pack Mesmerizing 3-D Kinetic Sculpture and Interactive Spring Toy; Twin Pack with Finger and Full Sized Geofluxes

I gave two as birthday gifts to my nephews. They thought it was cool and to my surprise everyone who saw them wanted to play with or watch it move. If you have never seen one of these before it is a hit.This is a good gift for that tween age if you are stumped for one. It is metal which is good, it pops up which is cool, it can be interactive which is fun.The fact that it is metal makes it span wider age ranges. So if the chilid is 10 or 50 years, they will appreciate it.Really I would give this 4.6 stars. There is a limit to what you can do with it. The person fun factor does wear out in a day. You need to show it to new people to keep that excitement up or find new things to try it on.Note- To respond to one reviewer that said they got scratched up. I felt the weld on the two I have and while not quite rough you can feel the stacked joint edges. HOWEVER IN USE there was not a scratch on skin or snag on cloths.Yes it does work better on arms but if you have it spinning fast enough it will over over long sleeves. I think it would have been good to give some educational science on this. I think people are forgetting to wonder WHY it can do what it was.The only thing that bugs me is that I discovred it is a copy of a Toroflux. It is a shame that for $5 difference most will go for the lower cost. I dont knwo if they are different but I think those are hand made in USA and have a warranty. GeoFlux does not. Even if you abused your Toroflux they give a half price replacement. I plan on ordering one to see if it moves any better and will update if I do.For now i say it is a nice gift . The bag also means no wrapping is really needed. Bag , toy , give and be the cool gift giver.

I like the toy and think it is cool, but I am concerned with the safety of this toy. I purchased this for my children and have not given it to them yet. I tested each one to make sure they worked, and they did work. However, I noticed little scratches up and down my arms. I even had a fresh cut on my thumb after moving it from arm to arm. I can not be sure if the cut was from the GeoFlux, but the scratches were definitely caused from the toy. The toy also comes with a warning listed on the bag and does not recommend for ages under 6. My concern is that if the weld breaks, the coiled metal could spring open causing lacerations or worse damage to an eye. I am not sure yet if I am going to return the GeoFlux toys or only give them to the older kids. I think the GeoFlux is a very neat toy that will get any kids attention. I am just unsure of its safety. Maybe someone who has had a weld break on their GeoFlux could share their experience on wether or not the toy is safe.

I purchased this as a gift for a 7-year old girl. I was unaware of anything quite like this product, and had never seen one before...but the reviews seemed promising, and I decided to take a chance. So, I received this yesterday, and I just had to open it to try it and determine if she would like it (and to try it out for myself!) This thing is awesome! I just finished ordering 2 more for 2 other friend's children, even though I was already "finished" with their shopping! It's that neat, that I figured they'd all get a kick out of it. If I can figure out how to do it (never tried before) I may come back and update with the reaction/response of the various children. Also, shipping and packaging were great, and...I received an email on the day the package was due to arrive (and did indeed arrive), from the owner of Global Imports. He was interested in knowing if I was happy with my order, and wanted to make sure that I was 100% satisfied. It's nice to see a company actually care about their customers!

This was bought for a gift. Highly recommend for a stress relief gift or as a toy for older children.

The image for this toy is terrible. The description is unclear. Solely based on the reviews, I decided to take a chance and bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter. Guess what ended up being her favorite Christmas present?The best way to describe this is a slinky for the arm. It's a bunch of circular strands connected together to form a sphere like structure. When you flatten the strands, you can put your arm (or leg if you are small/young enough) through the resulting loop. The strands will then pop up, gently gripping whatever is in the center, and will then spin around as gravity takes hold. It sounds boring, but the moment you play with it, you'll be hooked. My kids and their friends are going nuts over this thing. They pass it from arm to arm to the occasional leg and end with throwing it into the air so it pops open. I'm very happy with this purchase.
