## Description

Product Description Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Get Out of the Water! Air Swimmers swim through the air with incredibly smooth and life-like motion. These amazing fish provide hours of remote control indoor fun in even the smallest of rooms (not for outdoor use). They require only four AAA batteries (one in the body, three in the controller) and have complete up, down and 360 degree turning control. Simply fill your Air Swimmers with helium inexpensively at any party store, florist shop, or grocery store that carries balloons. The body is made from a high quality, durable nylon material that will stay inflated for weeks! You can fill it again and again. Remote control has never come to life so magically! Air SwimmersTM are not meant for outdoor use. Using poor quality helium and/or under-inflating the balloon will result in less lift, lowering the limit at which your Air SwimmerTM work. The Air SwimmerTM Flying Shark has been seen working at 6,800 feet! We suggest 4,500 feet is the limit for the performance of your Air Swimmer. From the Manufacturer Air Swimmers swim through the air with incredibly smooth and life-like swimming motion. These amazing fish provide hours of remote control indoor fun in even the smallest of rooms (not for outdoor use). They require only four AAA batteries (one in the body, three in the controller) and have complete up, down and 360 degree turning control. The Clownfish is remote infra-red controlled and will respond to your inputs moving up and down most importantly left to right with fish like tail movement. Remote control has never come to life so magically! The helium filled fish body is made from durable nylon and with appropriate use will stay inflated for weeks depending on altitude. The William Mark Corporation has been dedicated to developing unique, high-quality products for extraordinary flight performance. The company was formed when Mark Forti, then a junior at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, invented the X-zylo™ for a marketing project. The product's performance amazed everyone who saw it. After stumping his physics professor as to why the object flew, Mark took it to his father, William, who worked in the aerospace industry. When William's aerodynamicist friends could not explain how it flew so far, William and Mark filed for patents and formed the William Mark Corporation.

Review: Great toy IF you recieve genuine item-- Check package carefully!! (see my tips) - I've gotten this item 3 times through desertcart, and it's a great toy IF you receive the legitimate item-- BUT 2 out of the 3 times I ordered it ("fulfilled through desertcart"), I received knock-off versions (like gray market versions of things you see at flea markets), and NOT the genuine Air Swimmer described on the website. desertcart did refund me, but many buyers may not have realized when they get counterfeits (which would not be covered by toy company's warranty). My guess is these fakes account for some of the 1 or 2 star desertcart ratings due to quality for this toy (see end for my review of the genuine item). Knock-offs I got weren't exactly alike, but both packages were made to look a lot like real one-- used same photo, colors, typeface, and box shape (smaller though). 1st one I ordered (Xmas 2011) was genuine one, and I still had original box to compare to when something looked fishy with new ones I ordered this December (2012) because we liked 1st one so much. MY TIPS FOR CHECKING IF YOU GOT A KNOCK-OFF: (If you see things like on mine, below, I suggest you contact desertcart, even if it's been a while) 1) Legit item should be named "Air Swimmers". (My fakes were something like "Air Swim Fish" and "Flying Fish", a similar enough idea you could easily miss they weren't the true official name) 2) True toy company's name, "William Mark", should appear somewhere on box. Knock-offs didn't have it anywhere. (This is a small American toy company, getting their great patented design apparently ripped off by overseas manufacturer(s), probably too small to fight it and receiving no share of the $ you spent if you got a fake. Makes me mad) 3) Knock-offs had UPC codes printed on a sticker, that was pasted on the back of box over where UPC should go, instead of the UPC actually being part of the printed package (a sign these probably weren't originally meant for sale in USA, but instead in countries with lax copy right laws) 4) Distances were in metric (meters, not feet), and some codes and small print on back weren't what you usually see on USA packaging-- Asian or arabic typefaces, mfg codes oriented to Europe and Asia, etc (Sorry, don't have boxes anymore for exact examples, but looks like what you see on "imported" products, not on a typical toy pkg here. Real Air Swimmers said "made in China", but that's it, should still be domestic packaging) 5) One of the knock-offs actually had a fake "customer service" phone number and web site boldly printed on the box. (When I called, it was some hair products company, and the website wasn't real) ADDED NOTE: airswimmers.com website also lists some ways to identify illegal knock-offs If you are wondering why desertcart would sell "counterfeit" items, remember that "Fulfilled by desertcart" (vs. when it actually says "sold by desertcart.com") just means desertcart handles the shipping and billing to you, acting as a store front. The "sold by..." is the seller who provides the actual product and is responsible for it matching the website description. Anybody can sign up to be an desertcart seller (like on eBay), and they have multiple sellers selling the same items. Sellers do get ratings, but customers mostly rate them on delivery, and probably don't recognize signs when it's a "gray market" or counterfeit version. Then if quality is bad, we wrongly blame the true manufacturer for the fake, and give the product a bad rating, but not the seller. desertcart tells me they are working on cracking down on knock-offs and gray market goods, in the mean time check what you receive carefully! MY REVIEW OF THE REAL AIR SWIMMER: This toy was nifty, gentle fun, entertaining enough that I was ordering another, as mentioned above. Got it for my 77 year old "child at heart" Mom, and our whole toy-loving family enjoyed taking turns flying it around, and making it go over and nudge up to people as we sat around and talked. It's an open loft apartment, so great space to fly Elmer around (yes, Mom named her clown fish "Elmer"). Tail movement surprisingly fish-like, making the room feel relaxing, like we were all in a giant fish bowl. Mom was ill at the time, so it was nice she could fly Elmer from a recliner. It did take some time (1/2 hour?) to assemble and balance for flying (a challenge only if you're hopelessly non-mechanical). So suggest assembly ahead if it will want to be used right away (could fly it in from hiding to the recipient!). Not super-delicate, but wouldn't recommend for any kids that can't take turns without grabbing, or keep themselves from fighting and rough housing over it. Ours lasted over 6 months (just needed to be topped up with helium occasionally) until one of the plastic fins fell off and I haven't found a way to stick it back on (would be great if they provided spare double stick tape) So not a "forever" toy, but it's cool and everyone wants a turn flying it, well worth price under $30, and nice for a gathering in a big open (indoor only) space. Probably not as good for a house with small rooms, lots of doors, and low ceilings-- fish is pretty big, and has to be in line-of-sight of the remote.
Review: Difficult assembly and Not As Pictured! - I like gadgets and unique items, that's why this flying clownfish caught my eye for my daughter's birthday party. It comes with many parts and even more stickers and tape to hold the fins onto the fish. Here are some things to keep in mind. 1) Fins do not match the picture...at all! They are cheap brown and are not painted to match the balloon. Big disappointment when you want it to look as real as possible. It's false advertisement and I feel ripped off. 2) Sticky pads and tape are nearly impossible to remove from their paper sheet and apply to the balloon. This process of taping on fins took almost 30 minutes alone. You peel up a sticky pad and the whole sheet of paper tears and comes up with it. Poor quality. 3) It is IR remote controlled only, which means you have to be within line of sight. I knew this going in, but I didn't know that the model sold in Toys R Us is RF and has a much longer range. They have a contract with the store to only sell Toys R Us the RF model. Pretty ridiculous and underhanded it sounds to me. I was very disappointed and felt I got the knock-off version...for the same price. The Toys R Us version probably has the REAL fins with it too. 4) The thing is huge. Yeah it fits in my living room but where am I supposed to fly it to. Ok hit that wall, turn around, ok hit the other wall. I'm done now. 5) Balancing the fish is difficult. They supply some putty to weigh it down to float. Adding the right amount is trial and error. But you also have to mount the motorized weight distribution device in the right location according to your altitude. They give you a guide to do this, but it was incorrect for me. My fish will only float or point up to swim upwards. I cannot make it dive because of where I mounted the weight. And you can forget taking it off and remounting it. They already had you apply the sticky pads and sticky reinforcement tape to the balloon so there is no way you are getting it back off again without breaking something. 6) The motors operating the fish are LOUD! It looks so cool floating in mid air, then you begin moving the fin and flying it. EERRRRRRRRRRR. ERRRRRRRRR. That's the sound as you descend or ascend the fish. The tail fin is not as loud, but all the sounds really take away from the illusion of it being a fish. These were just some of my thoughts as I set-up and flew it around for an hour or so. So bottom line...it is over priced and is better suited for the $19.99 price range. Maybe if I got the painted fins to match the fish, it wasn't so loud and it came with a better RF remote I might pay $40 for it. Skip desertcart on this one and head to Toys R Us to pick one up if you want to give it a try. At least you can return it there easily and only be out a few bucks for the helium.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't beat the price!
*by S***L on August 16, 2013*

This thing is awesome! I bought this for my wife for her birthday party. We were hosting the relatives including three girls under 12 and it was the life of the party. I don't know why the clownfish version of the air swimmers is so much cheaper. This didn't seem to have any pitfalls that would cause it to be $10. (after looking online a bit more, it seems like it's an older model. The remote control looks different) I filled it up at the grocery store for $7, so keep that in mind. PROS: Once you finally have it all together and the ballast is properly set (using the included putty) so that it is floating around 5 feet high, this thing is magical. The movement as the fin waves back and forth is so natural and matches a fishes motion so well that it's a little uncanny. We played with it for the next 4 days or so before the helium depleted too much. I was very surprised at how easy it was to steer throughout the house. Unlike those Helium blimps with the fans, the fin propulsion idea is so much more natural. You do have to be pretty close to the thing for the Radio Control to connect to the onboard motors. If you get more than 10 feet away it loses connection. This thing is sublime as it swims through your house. I thought the cats would either be terrified of it or want to attack it, and after the initial period of getting used to it, they didn't even pay attention to it anymore. CONS: The range of the remote control could be further, that would allow you to enjoy it while sitting on the couch and watch it swim around the room. As it is right now you pretty much have to walk around with it, trailing about 5 feet behind it. Another problem would be that assembling it takes a long time and the instructions are not very clear at all. Watch the video on youtube. Unfortunately I was assembling this at a birthday party with 3 crazy kids running around so I had to do it on the fly without taking my time and looking up the video. A big WARNING I would give to people who buy this relates to getting the balloon from the helium source to your house. If you have a helium tank, then no problem. But I had to take it to a grocer's (you could also go to a florist) and the suggestion on the instructions said to tie the included Ribbon to the box and the other end to one of the provided tabs on the balloon. I did this, but I still held tightly onto the tabs on the balloon, instead of letting it float up and holding it like a normal helium balloon: by the string. I brought it home and even briefly considered letting it float up like a normal balloon as I brought it into the house for the effect. Good thing I didn't because after I had it safely confined in the house and went on to finish other chores, when I came back the ribbon I had tied to the balloon had torn through the mylar material and the balloon was floating on the ceiling. That would have been disappointing to be walking out of the grocery store, holding the balloon by the ribbon, only to have it tear through the mylar support and fly into the clouds. TL;DR While transporting it, hold onto it tight, don't trust the ribbon.
