Princesses and fairies are, perhaps, the classic “girly” toys of all times. But one special fairy made a real splash in the children's market in 2013, making it into the top 10 best toys for children in the USA. At least, this is what its manufacturers say.
The secret of success is simple - Flying Fairy can fly
The doll is equipped with plastic propellers and stabilizers that ensure flight. There is a sensor in the legs that tells the fairy when you bring your hand to her and allows you to control the toy. The stand allows you to charge the toy for flights lasting from 2.5 to 5 minutes. Recharging will take about half an hour.
A short search using keywords is enough to understand that there is a demand for this “helicopter for girls”. But the fairy leaves contradictory reviews and impressions.
How everything goes ideally
Even based on the video rating and comments, one can come to the conclusion that there is no deception. And everything would be fine, many people saw the flying fairies, many liked it, but here’s the thing: some of them did not achieve the desired result.
Sassy babe
Although the couple who gave the fairy a test drive found her wild nature indescribably fun, the child would probably expect different behavior from such a gift. To put all the fairies in their place, we go to the forum of young mothers, where the topic of gifts for beloved daughters is hotly discussed.
And such comments are the majority. What's the matter in the second video? An ordinary factory defect or the crookedness of “beta testers”? This question also arose among members of the forum. But before we move on to examining it, pay attention to an important detail: after all the crashes, the doll remained intact.
This does not mean that it is particularly durable: some users complained about its quick death. But you can still get a rough idea of how easy (or not) it is to ruin it. Although, of course, this is where the cards will fall.
Second question: can a fairy harm a child?
Despite the terrified screams of the guy in the video, the answer is negative: our fairy, fortunately, is kind. The wings are made of soft plastic that does not cause harm.
Where did the dog rummage?
In fact, whether the fairy will fly like a cute dandelion or fly into the ceiling like a rocket depends on the manufacturer. Many people decide to save money and, instead of the “classic” price for this toy, from 2000 to 3000 rubles, they buy cheap Chinese crafts.
It’s a pity, but the person who published this post probably did not assume that the toy from the second video was most likely bought for these 800 rubles on Ali or from a reseller. To check your suspicions, just go to any site with reviews.
Fortunately, this doll is not so bad as to fill such resources with custom content - this is clearly evident from the number of both positive and negative reviews. By analyzing them, a certain pattern can be identified.
Most of the negative reviews are indeed related to fakes. Having scoured the Internet, I managed to find some tips that will help distinguish the original:
- The manufacturer's company is indicated on the packaging;
- Original manufacturer of flying fairies Spin Master;
- The wire for charging the flying fairy matches the color of the stand, it is definitely not black.
A little about the manufacturer Bonuar LLC
Do the products of Bonuar LLC meet these criteria? Since the guys have been selling flying fairies only recently, the site was opened on September 12, it was not possible to find reviews regarding this trading platform. The manufacturer of the toy is listed as "Flutterbye Fairies".
This is the name of the Flying Fairy produced by Spin Master. It is quite possible that the guys were simply mistaken and the toy is indeed original. Although this error is already alarming.
The only thing that adds confidence is a fairly reliable payment scheme after receipt.
We are promised money back, respect for consumer rights and even a one-year guarantee. You can check whether the money will be returned after 7 days or 7 months only at personal experience. But the fact that you don’t have to pay money in advance is already good. Nothing prevents you from carefully reviewing your purchase at the post office. True, let’s not be too optimistic: the branded packaging of the Russian Post will probably hide the contents, and no one will allow you to open the parcel without payment.
A few words in defense of the Chinese
By the way, even Chinese fairies for 800 rubles for some users performed their direct duties quite well (except for turning a pumpkin into a carriage, of course).
Morality
The outcome of our review will not be clear. The toy is excellent and lives up to expectations, if you don’t skimp and buy the original. If you buy a “Chinese”, you will have to play roulette: everything is 50/50 here. Most likely, it will fly, but rather unpredictably.
Flying Fairy
Greetings, dear reader of the site. Today I will talk about what the interactive flying fairy toy Flying Fairy is. Advertising for the latest Chinese miracle is plentiful on the Internet and on TV, and rave reviews from happy owners urge them to immediately buy it in an online store. But is this toy so wonderful? Are there any pitfalls here? Is it possible to give this doll to a child without fear for his safety? I decided to look into this, especially since there was a significant reason - the birthday of my youngest daughter.
She, like many other children, was impressed by the beautiful advertising. Putting myself in her place, I also imagined how much I would have liked to have had this unique flying toy twenty years ago. But in those days there were no such dolls, just as there was no Internet, through which all these new items end up in the hands of curious citizens. Everything that then seemed like an unattainable miracle to us, something out of the realm of fantasy, is now real. So why not give your child your unfulfilled dream? – I thought and went to compare prices in different online stores that sold children's flying fairies.
Where to buy a flying fairy?
While reading reviews, I came across such concepts as original and fake. There really are different manufacturers. And the cost of a flying fairy varies greatly, depending on who made it. But I couldn’t figure out where the original was and where the fake was. And here's the thing. The very idea of a magical flying doll is very interesting, so many toy manufacturers immediately grabbed this idea and created different variants this doll. Who was the first? - a question to which there is now no answer. Therefore it is difficult to name original products product of a specific manufacturer. If you want a higher quality product, buy toys from Canadian manufacturers, such as Spin Master, but then be prepared to shell out a decent amount of money, since such dolls are brought from the USA in batches of several pieces and there is a corresponding markup.
Since I didn’t have a big budget, I decided to buy a flying fairy, Flying Fairy, with music and lighting, at the best price I could find. Knowing my daughter, I think that after several days of active play with this toy, interest in it will be lost, so there is no point in overpaying. In a couple of clicks, the order was placed and we eagerly waited for the curious floating doll.
My review of the Flying Fairy
The week of anxious waiting has come to an end and my long-awaited order has arrived.
The magic fairy lay in cardboard box. There is a fairy at the base.
The doll looks of good quality, although it was purchased for a minimal price. Dressed in a pink dress, lilac blades. Sweet and cute fairy.
How to charge a flying fairy. detailed instructions
Charger included. To charge it, you can use either batteries or a USB port. The toy charges in about 20 minutes. This energy will be enough for her to fly for 10-15 minutes.
Everything is clear with the batteries; they need to be inserted into the hole intended for them.
The fairy also has a hole in her skirt. Here it is.
You need to insert the charger into this hole, and insert the other end into the corresponding hole on the base. Nothing complicated.
If we charge from a computer, then insert the charger with one end into the hole on the fairy's skirt, and the other into the USB connector on the computer.
There is also a switch on the skirt. Don't forget to turn it on, otherwise the fairy won't fly anywhere. Also don't forget to include the base.
How a fairy flies
After 20 minutes we can launch our fairy. To do this, disconnect the charging wire, align the doll on the base and press the large button located in the center.
Voila! The Flying Fairy takes off from the base and flies up to the ceiling.
Attention! The fairy takes off quite quickly, so keep small children away and don't give them the opportunity to try to touch the fairy during the flight. Blades rotating at high speed can cause pain to a child!
In order to support the fairy in flight, just raise your hand to her and she will rise again.
Attention! Do not play the toy near open window or on the street! It can fly away and fall into a hard-to-reach place. Play only in the room.
To turn off the fairy, you need to catch her by the legs and then press the big button. If you interrupt the flight using the button without holding the fairy, it will fall to the floor and may be damaged.
Flying fairy instructions
The Flying Fairy comes with detailed instructions in Russian. Everything is clearly written there, how to charge, play and turn off correctly. This is what the instructions look like.
Well, my daughter’s birthday has arrived and, as usual, my girlfriends came. Mine immediately began to brag about her new toy. The other girls were also delighted when they saw the magical fairy hovering under the ceiling. We played with it the whole evening, and apparently outplayed it, because it hovered near the ceiling and stopped responding to all manipulations with the buttons. I had to stand on a chair and get the unfortunate thing out. 🙂 There were no more such incidents with her, but they didn’t play with her for so long.
My daughter liked the gift. And I don’t need anything else. The joy of a child is the most important thing in life, and if some flying fairy can give her this joy, then it is worth the money spent. Now she runs it periodically, but the interest, of course, is not the same as it was at the beginning.
So this is good gift for girl. After visiting our birthday party, my daughter’s friends also threw fairies away from their parents and now they have a whole army of fairies. 🙂

A distinctive feature of the toy is the absence of additional devices for flight.
Inside the doll there is a motor that drives the propeller, thanks to which the fairy easily rises up and soars in the air for a long time.
To prevent the toy from colliding with foreign objects, there are built-in touch sensors that quickly respond to approaching danger.
One wave of the hand is enough - the fairy rises up and flutters around the children's room like a butterfly, filling it with magical light emanating from the sparkling outfit.

And the first thing I heard was the word: “Super!” This is true. Now every evening the whole family watches the flight of the little sorceress. Beautiful, bright and luminous dress, easy to manage and good quality, made the toy so popular. We like.
Elena, 34 years old
Having read on the Internet negative reviews about the soaring fairy Flying Fairy, I hesitated for a long time, but still decided to buy it. At first, there was a feeling that the toy was not entirely durable and would quickly become unusable. But I was wrong.
The doll is made of durable plastic, so when it collides with objects, its wings do not break. What was disappointing was the short flight. But this is compensated by fast charging. We are happy, because not only my daughter liked the toy, but my son was delighted with the purchase, he even clapped his hands with joy.

And, of course, they ask to buy a fairy toy.
Especially interesting for children flying fairies Flitter Fairies- small dolls in dresses made of feathers of bright or delicate and light colors, fluttering beautifully with the wave of a magic wand.
Produced by William Mark, the same company that introduced flying fish a couple of years ago, Flitter Fairies can be purchased in five incarnations - or design options. This is the blue-eyed Fairy of Lakes Eva, dressed in a blue dress, her younger sisters Daria – Fairy of the forests in a red and green dress, Fairy of the fields Alexa in a soft green dress, red-haired Fairy of fire Mara in a fiery red dress and the mysterious night Fairy of the caves Aerioth (Eiriot).

So how does William Mark's flying fairy work?
The secret here lies in an invisible thread that connects the hairpin, which is best placed on the hair, and the flying fairy back. Well, the magic wand serves as an auxiliary tool that allows you to direct the fairy’s flight in the desired direction, higher or lower, by holding and guiding the thread. The fairy doll has a built-in mechanism that ensures the flapping of its wings; it flies by attaching an invisible thread to a hairpin.
Too difficult? Parents who think so will probably be interested in the offer of another company, the famous American manufacturer of flying toys Spin Master. The engineers of which have developed... real flying fairies! Presented under the name Flutterbye Fairies at the recently concluded Toy Fair 2013.
Magic fairies from Spin Master have a built-in motor and colored propellers, which are part of the fairy-tale character's outfit. And also - touch sensors that monitor the presence of nearby objects and keep the toy flying at a certain distance from them. Just turn on the button on the base stand, the miniature engine will start working and the doll will take off.
You can control it by raising your palm from below: the sensor will detect the presence of an object and the doll will rise higher. The higher the palm, the higher the flight, but by lowering the palm, you can reduce the height of the magic fairy’s flight. Flutterbye Fairies also has a free flight mode in a large room, where she will flutter around like the fabulous Tinkerbell or Tinker Bell from the famous Disney cartoon.
You can buy the flying Flutterbye Fairies from Spin Master starting in August of this year: the price announced at the exhibition is $35. The toy, recommended for purchase by children at least six years old, will be available in two versions: a daytime flower fairy in a soft pink outfit - “created from flower petals” and a night fairy, whose “woven from stardust.” The doll will come with a base for turning on and recharging the toy.
