 Negative Reviews?Jan 22, 2011
By Bill Albanese
"Billy 5"
We ordered the crab despite the negative reviews we saw here, most saying it was too slow. It's great! Slow only compared to the hyperactive ant, but they are all slower compared to the ant. As with other Hexbugs it needs to be handeled carefully, but I just want to say had I followed the reviews this time, we'd be missing out on a great toy.

Great little robot crab, very fun toy.Feb 13, 2011
By Anja Rebekka Schultze
I am a big fan of Hexbug robots and I must say that the Crab is my favorite, one of the reasons for this is that the Crab have the most functions of the various Hexbug models. The robot will wall sideways like a crab, it responds to sounds like a clap and like with the original Hexbug robot it is possible to control the toy by clapping at it to make it walk the way you want it to go. Compared to the original this function works much better with the crab as it do not need for you to clap so hard as to hurt your hands and everyone else's ears to make it respond. new with this model is that if the Crab moved under something to block the light in the room, like if it moves under furniture or you hold a book over it then it will stop moving, a clap with get it going again.
This toy runs of batteries. Hexbug sells these batteries but I do not know if the robot can also take some sort of ordinary watch batteries, anyway it runs a long time on one change of batteries but exchanging them can be expensive. On the positive side unlike other Hexbug models this one have a battery lid which you just unscrew, you do not need to dismantle half the toy to get at the batteries.
Hexbug Crab is made of rather thin plastic and it have to be handled with care. I would not recommend it to very young children, also while another Hexbug robot, the Nano can be used as a cat toy, I would not recommend that with this one as I do not think the toy will stand up to the rough treatment a pet will give it.
The Hexbug Crab is a cute, relatively cheap robot toy, it is a great gift for a older kid or anyone collecting robots, and for the price it have quite impressive functions. I am very pleased with my Hexbug Crab and I might pick up another in a different color just to expand my collection, it was well worth the price for me at least.

Really fun toy!Feb 14, 2011
By Tara Durnil
Bought these for our nephews (7 & 9) for Christmas! I wanted to take them out of the box and play with them. They were smaller than what I thought they would be, about the size of a half dollar. BUT they still were super cool and the kids couldn't wait to play with them. I would say that these are a little delicate. SO I wouldn't purchase this for a child who is rough on their toys. My daughter (8) received one of these crabs for Christmas as well- so if your wondering, they were a good toy for an older boy AND girl.

 Fun and breakableDec 27, 2011
By Ya Lan Fu
I bought this hexbug crab for my son's Christmas gift, he opened it up and play for 20 mins. The leg pin is coming off, he put it back again, then play for another 5 mins, it came out again. So he have repeatly put the leg back after 5 mins playing, soon he lost the interest about this toy. I'm disappoint with the quality of it and I do hope it just this is the defect one. Because my son do love it alot so after return it. I'll consider to get another one for him. Overall, it's a interesting toy.

By solodier
Very nice product. Recieved in great condition. The only disapointment is we would have liked the option to choose what color we wanted. Since there was five different colors available.
