The Bottom Line

I was hooked when I first saw the Flex Blaster water gun from Kid Galaxy. It's green and purple with a personality that literally calls out to you! Seriously, I think the Flex Blaster is a great concept - it's a water gun with a twist. The water doesn't come out of conventional nozzles like other water guns. There are 2 plastic tubes rather like the crinkly drinking straws which end in eyeballs, through which water blasts out.

The advantage of this design is that it gives you the flexibility to aim the eyeballs in any direction, and so you can really surprise someone with an unexpected squirt of water.



Pros

• Can shoot water upto 30 feet
• Colorful looks add to the fun
• Has a large water tank

Cons

• Pretty heavy
• Water pressure isn't too strong

Description

• The prominent teeth and eyeballs make the purple and green Flex Blaster wild and wacky!
• Water shoots out to a good 30 feet
• The Flex Blaster is good for ages 6+

Guide Review - Flex Blaster Water Gun from Kid Galaxy

My kids and I had a blast with the Flex Blaster from Kid Galaxy out in the garden. It was pretty easy to operate. I simply filled up the tank with water and I was good to go. The pump jaw has to be worked a few times before the water starts coming out. The streams of water shot out pretty far - that felt really good.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the tank as I could squirt out water for quite a while without having to refill it. Although I wish it was lighter - the weight of the water and the water gun itself made it a little uncomfortable to carry around.

Hmm, this would be something to watch out for if your kid is small built. <p> The ability to aim the flexible eyeballs is something I really like. The water stream is pretty gentle, which I suppose is a good thing as it doesn't have the potential to cause harm. Although, the manufacturers could provided some sort of adjusting mechanism to make the water flow stronger for the more adventureous among us!

Overall, the Flex Blaster water gun from Kid Galaxy is a great buy if you're looking for some cool summer fun.
