I've gotta say, buying a gift for my kid's school New Year's party was a total breeze. The whole gift set cost me 500 rubles, and this awesome symbolic horse with a magical effect was just 70 rubles. What a game-changer, right? And where did I find this wonder?

Wild Animal JY52379558Hello to all my readers!

I have to admit, the store I went to was a total surprise. I usually go there for sweets, tea, and nuts. That's it. But, guess what? They have everything there.

Yes, it's the Yarche supermarket chain. Lots of people go there for baked goods, but I'm not a fan of those. I usually walk by and head straight to the candies and chocolates. That's exactly why I decided to go to Yarche to collect my kid's New Year's gift. The doors were already open by 9 am, which was super convenient for me. I dropped off the kids at school and quickly ran in to grab the sweets. I managed to collect all the treats in just 5 minutes and thought to myself, 'I want to get something more.' My daughter loves stress-relief squishies, pull-along toys, and slime, but I'm not a fan of those. They're too expensive and don't last long.

I wanted to surprise my kid with something that would last longer. The toy section wasn't very noticeable to me, but the contents were super interesting. That's where I found the magical horse I was looking for. I also grabbed a small house with a pet from the same section. Now, let's talk about the horse.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The toy is called Wild Animal, and the article number is next to it. Otherwise, you won't be able to find it. Out of curiosity, I tried searching for it online using the photo. I couldn't find any links except for Aliexpress. The toy is 100% similar, but the packaging is different. I think the importer customized it and added a Russian label. The toy is unique.

The price. On Aliexpress, you can buy 100 pieces for around 27 rubles each. I paid around 70 rubles for one. I didn't feel cheated. The markup was around 40 rubles, which is a bit more than 100%.

It comes in a small bag with a sticky strip. There's information about the toy, which you can read.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the tech behind this thing. Maybe someone can enlighten me - is it the paint that changes color with temperature, or is there some special property to the plastic?Quality-wise, I've got no complaints. It looks like a high-end toy, with no sharp edges and a smooth finish. It's comfy to hold in your hand, and the detailed face, horn, wings with feathers, tail, and horsehair are all top-notch. The paint on the horsehair and tail is pretty cool, too - it changes from yellow to a fiery red through orange. I've never seen a gradual color transition like that before.

Wild Animal JY52379558 THE MAGIC SHOW

Yesterday, my kid got a new toy, and I came home to find them already playing with it. I asked if they'd seen the horse, and my daughter called me over - it turned out she'd hidden it. I have no idea why.

It took us until today to figure out how to get the horse out from under the sink. I'd been trying to get it away from the water for three hours, and I was starting to worry about the water meter readings - it was flowing nonstop. I finally put a plate under it to stop the mess, but now everything's covered in water. No big deal, I'll help clean it up. The main thing is that the kid's happy.

And then there's the magic of the horse's mane and tail color-changing thing. It's seriously mesmerizing. We were totally captivated while standing under the faucet, with water, hands, and breathing all involved. Under cold water, the mane and tail were a fiery orange, under hot water, they were yellow. Warm water gave a light orange tint.

The coolest part, though, is when you hold the horse under cold water, then touch it with your finger, and the color changes right away. It's like magic - the warmth spreads out, and the diameter of the light-colored area increases.

I love watching the kids experiment with the magic horse - it's amazing how their curiosity and creativity come alive as they try to change the color of the horse's mane and tail. They're totally enthralled, and I'm right there with them!

The kids are absolutely thrilled, and I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed too!

THE VERDICT.

I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase of the magic horse - it's a great value for the price, and it's brought so much joy to both the kids and adults in our household. It's a fantastic symbolic gift for the new year, and I'm already thinking about getting another one for my older daughter or even a whole collection! If you can still get your hands on one, I highly recommend it.

Wild Animal JY52379558I'm seriously recommending this to everyone, and I'm giving it a full 5 stars!

Thanks for reading my review!
