I just received a Smasha-Ballz called Ninjaaah and my youngest niece seemed very interested in what it was as it looks like a fluffy toy. I quickly removed it from the box and gave it to her but nothing happened so I assumed it was just a cuddly toy. Off she went with this ball of fluff quite content even though he seems to have a fierce face.

I thought no more of it and went to pick up the packaging and noticed it said “Smash ‘em! Chuck ‘em! Slam’em!” and “Try Me! So I knew then that it did actually do something. So reading the bottom of the box I found that there was an on/off switch that I must have moved into the off position when unpacking.

I managed to get the fluffy ninja looking toy back, switched it on and gave it back to my niece (people may say I am mean for what happened next as my niece is only 1 year old). She took the toy, dropped it and the look of horror was a picture when this thing started shaking, vibrating and making noise! For a few moments she would not go near it but then went over and picked it up and promptly threw it on the floor and once again it started shaking and making a noise. Again she went over and picked it up to throw back down again, laughing as it made a different noise each time while shaking and vibrating. She has now learned that she can hold it and hit the told of his head to set and off so she can feel it shaking. She seems to love it!

Overall, this is a strange soft fluffy ball that looks like a ninja complete with his Japanese headband. You can kick it, drop it, punch it and throw around getting it to shake and make its noise and it will keep the kids amused. While it is for age 3 years and over my 1 year old niece absolutely loves it (after her initial shock). I can see it being quite annoying for the adults hearing it all day long but thankfully it has an off switch.
