Did not live up to expectations
Did not live up to expectations. Poor response to voice commands. Responded to the “go forward” command by going backwards and falling over. Disappointed. The kids (5and 3) have given up on it.

Dear Carol, Thank you for your review! We're so glad the kids love their walkie-talkies, and we're sorry the two units aren't connecting properly. Please make sure both units are fully charged and switched on at the same time. Hold the talk button while speaking and release it to hear the reply. If the issue persists, please contact us at [email protected] with your order number, and we'll be happy to help. If the set is defective, we'll arrange a free replacement. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope the kids will be chatting away soon!

Does not match the hype
Delivery took longer than expected and communication on when to expect delivery was poor. I read the majority of reviews by parents understanding this was an interactive toy that would keep a child involved for a good length of time. I believed the reviews but wish I had played the video provided. The hype does not match the toy. The video is of a Chinese child being delighted by the toy spinning in circles. It unfortunately does not do much more than spin in circles and run into walls - if the commands son't register. I watched another parent posted video where that is all the toy did. Net - after doing the basic things like turn left, turn right, dance and respond to a few basic commands - it is a pretty boring battery operated toy. The instructions were not written by an english speaking service and are in very awkward english. The box it came in was falling apart. I purchased this for my 3 year old who played with it for an afternoon and now it is sitting on a shelf. He got tired of it running into things and not registering his commands. My recommendation is not to be swayed by the glowing parent reviews, but to watch the videos posted by parents and the one on the Little Marvin web site and decide if this is what will delight your child and teach him all the things the marketing says it will.

The return policy is ridiculous
The return policy is ridiculous. They want you to pay for shipping back to China but also offered to refund 1/2 of what I paid for the Walkie Talkies to keep them. To begin with, I ordered a set from Amazon because the shipping took so long and they are the identical Walkie talkies for 1/3 of the price. Stay away from this company.
Response from The Little MarvinJun 24, 2026
Dear Melissa, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify a few points for future readers. We have been actively communicating with you via email regarding your return request. During that correspondence, we explained that our return address is located in Illinois, USA, as The Little Marvin is a US-based company. As outlined in our Returns & Exchanges Policy, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. This policy is applied consistently and equally to all customers. As an alternative to the return process, we offered a 50% refund with no requirement to return the product. This option was intended to help you avoid the time and expense of return shipping while still receiving a substantial refund. Regarding Amazon, The Little Marvin products are not sold by our company on Amazon. Therefore, we cannot verify, compare, or take responsibility for the quality, pricing, specifications, or customer service associated with products purchased from third-party Amazon sellers. We always strive to be transparent about our policies and to provide reasonable solutions when customers contact us, and we remain available should you wish to continue the conversation. Warm regards, The Little Marvin Team
