Silverlit Robocar Poli Helicopter Helly, 6cm, Metal

I've gotta say, this little helicopter is a total blast for kids who love flying - it's a compact 6cm metal toy that's super easy to maneuver and has a battery life that's longer than I expected. I'm really impressed with the sturdy metal build, which means it's built to last. You get a lot of value for money with this toy, and I've been pretty surprised by how well it holds up to playtime. My kid's been flying it nonstop, and it still looks brand new. It's perfect for little ones who are just starting to get into RC toys - it's a great way to introduce them to the world of remote control flying.

Editor's Summary

I was pleasantly surprised by this little helicopter's performance, but it's not without its flaws. It's a great value for money, but the build quality could be better. The controls are intuitive, and the ease of use is top-notch, but the customer support leaves a lot to be desired. I've had some issues with the return process, but the battery life is surprisingly long-lasting. Overall, it's a solid choice, but you should be aware of the potential drawbacks.

After being a bit underwhelmed by the original Transformer Poli, my husband decided to go a different route and get my son the Silverlit Robocar Poli Metal Helicopter. And, at first glance, it was a pretty good idea!

Here's our new rescue hero:

The Robocar Crew

Brand: Silverlit Robocar Poli.

Price: 450 rubles.

Size: A tiny 6 cm.

Description.

The Helicopter is one of the four main characters from the Robocar Poli animated series, and it's the rescue hero. My kids love this show, and I don't see anything wrong with it, so our home is slowly filling up with the characters (we already have Poli, Cap, and Masti).

The helicopter itself is a nice addition to our collection. It's made of metal, which gives it a solid feel in your hand. However, it's not exactly lightweight, and you can tell that it's a bit heavy for a kids' toy.

It glides on three little wheels and has a spinning propeller. So far, nothing has fallen off, which is a big plus!

On closer inspection, you'll notice that the paint has chipped off on the curved parts - the sides and tail. This gives the helicopter a bit of a worn look, but it's still recognizable as the animated character. The face is friendly-looking, and Poli seems way more serious.

Overall, it's a nice toy, but I wouldn't call it high-quality. My son actually likes it more than the Transformer Poli, but the fact that it's heavy, can scratch things, and might hurt someone or break something is a pretty big drawback.

I think it's way too pricey for 450 rubles. Considering the pros and cons, I'd still recommend it, but keep in mind the potential issues and decide if it's worth it for you.
