 this is just a cat toy really
Written by D. J. Hoppe from Taylor Lake Village, TX United States

After much hype and anticipation, we finally got mr squiggles today. The kids played with him for about 30 secs. and he was put down. I think this product was a little oversold. As far as I can tell, it does nothing but run though its toys making farm animal sounds. It also has a function where it doesn't run, it just makes cooing noises. I really don't see the "personality" on display. If you buy this for your child for christmas, make sure you have a back up gift. This will probably not be a big hit by christmas afternoon.

 Parents don't be suckered!

This is a great toy and my little ones love them, I am angry that all these vendors are selling them for so much, be patient and go to Toys r us or Walmart, they are priced at $8.00. Because they are not in stock every where these greedy people are taking of advantage of Parents looking for the perfect gift!

Got this today for $8 at Walmart. Super fun and cute for my 2 1/2 year old twins BUT within 20 minutes they removed the heating vent cover and dropped it in my duct work where it is now running around..so keep away from the vents HA! And don't spend this much $$ on them...

Mr. Squiggles is kind of dangerous....
Written by miked from Seattle, WA

My three year old got Mr. Squiggles for his birthday from Grandma--and none of us realized that there was a frenzy surrounding these toys until later. I'd say that for the amusement factor, the toy is almost worth the MSRP. It's kind of silly, emitting clucking, honking and mooing noises as it zooms around. But there's not a lot of play value--and as I suggested above, it is somewhat dangerous. The motor driving the wheels is fast and strong, and will easily wind up hair, necessitating an emergency haircut and causing a certain amount of tears. Also, the same nefarious wheels gave my wife a painful pinch on the hand. So beware. And, as a caveat, I'd certainly hope no pays out the nose for one of these. I'd predict, typically, that they'll be belly up in the toy box within a week.

Adorable Toy!
Written by Mom of Two from Midwest, USA

I had never heard of this toy till recently and lucked out by stumbling upon them at TRU. It's really a cute toy, but the sounds the hamster makes are a little strange: rooster crowing, cow mooing, etc. Strange noises for a hamster, lol. My daughter really loves it, and it is adorable as it runs around on the floor. As the toy's warning states on the bottom, do not get this near your hair because it will wind it up on the back wheels. Also, it picks up fuzz and animal hair on the floor so you will periodically need to get some tweezers out to get all the crud out so it can resume normal speeds. Haven't gotten any of the accessories for this rodent because they can't be found.
That said, the stores do need to put a limit on how many you can buy then more families will be able to buy for their children rather than eBay sellers out to make a profit. When I got this one, I bought two - one for my daughter's bday and one to hold for her Christmas present. However, the store had a limit of 4. I think that's excessive in light of them being in such hot demand and short supply.
I hope I'm not in the minority who refuses to pay more than $[...] for these things (which is what I paid). Parents are nuts if they pay $[...] for this. It's not worth that much money, and your child will be just as happy with something else. Seriously.
