My 7 year old grandson requested this toy for Christmas. (Maybe I shouldn't have asked!) He enjoyed it, but it makes a real mess, as expected. This toy requires adult assistance with mixing and loading and supervision for safety purposes. The biggest disappointment was the fact that the picture makes it appear as if there is a set of 2 slime shooters. There is only one, so this necessitated placing another order. After all, what fun would just one be? I was disappointed with Amazon's representation of the toy and time will tell whether or not this gets played with again.

The only downside is the gun's container cannot hold a lot of slime. It is also is flaky, and inconsistent when shooting. Sometimes slime comes out, sometimes it doesn't, requiring multiple trial and error pumps at times.

I probably would not buy it again. I originally bought this, because I needed a gun for a water fight, and since it was the tail end of summer, this is all the toy stores had.

but when it does work, it works well. The slime is so disgusting, and squirting it on people (in pool attire) is so fun!!! The slime is thick, goo-ie and gobby. Words cannot describe...

If you are a slime fanatic and want something unique, give it a shot.
