Toysmith Wind-Up Submarine

Perfect submarine toy for swimming pool . Kids loved it .

It is the worst product I bought on Amazon. Price was too high to meet the standards. This submarine toy is a total disappointment to my child.

This is a nice-looking sub, well built, but as other reviewers have observed, the wind-up mechanism lets loose in all of two seconds or less. That means the sub barely starts to move when the prop stops spinning. The manufacturer needs to find a way to slow down the wound-up spring's uncoiling to make for a longer "run."

Great product! Excited to play with my wind up submarine. The only negative is that the toy submarine came in a soft package instead of a box so the toy box got a little bent. I didn’t mind because it’s not a gift. However, if it was a gift it could be an issue.

My son loves this toy.

Was given as a gift.

I bought this because I had one as a kid and wanted to bond with my toddler son during bathtime.It's definitely fun in the bath- the propeller moves the submarine very quickly (it's not gonna just sit and spin). The diving planes do move, but not in any really coordinated way. A normal 'run' seems to last between 5-10seconds. We went to the pool and like a nerd I took it with us. The entire blurb about "dives and surfaces" is a load of horse---. It may or may not go up or down, and will often veer off to the side. I think I paid $17 for it; it's more a $10 toy. But then I think I'm being overly harsh from childhood memories. Bottom line I don't regret purchasing it, and my kid had fun.
