Original GeoFlux 2-Pack of Mesmerizing 3-D Kinetic Sculpture & Interactive Spring Toys, Silver Metallic

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.

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

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!

The media could not be loaded.

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.

Fun stocking stuffer for my autistic nephew. When the package arrives it is in a small drawstring bag. The toy is made out of the same type of metal as a slinky. When you take it out of the bag, it is together as a ring. When you slip your arm through it, it expands and you can run it up and down from your wrist to your upper arm. You can even run it from one arm to the other if you connect your hands. It has a nice tactile feel and has a mesmerizing visual. My nephew said it made him feel happy when he was using it.

I bought this for my son's 13th birthday. I had NO idea what to get him and stumbled across this on Amazon. I thought he might think it was kind of fun but had no idea how much he would like it. There is something so fascinating about the simplicity of this toy. It's just cool to see how it transforms from just these rings to this "sculpture" that moves up and down your arm. My son brought this to his birthday dinner that night, he has brought it to school each day since he got it (I'm a teacher and he hangs out in my classroom before and after school) and everyone that sees it wants to try it. Now I know what to get all his friends for their birthdays. A great gift that doesn't break the bank and isn't an electronic device, yay!

This was awesome for about 5 minutes until the weld holding the rings together broke. My students loved it and they all wanted to try it... well at least until it wouldn't work any more. Hoping to find someone to weld it back together one day.

This came without the smaller one and the colored string that are in the picture. Disappointing.

This item was advertised with a mini finger flow ring in it and I assumed it came with the item I ordered and it doesn’t. This is either poor advertising or they forgot to add it to my package.

kids loved it but the novelty wore off quickly, pretty standard by today's standards though...

Lots of fun!Sturdy metal, easy to use
