Kaleb USA Full Marble Swirl Kendama and Extra String (Blue Ocean)

I purchased this toy for my nephew for Christmas. I had no idea what it was when I ordered it, but thoroughly enjoyed watching him play with it during Christmas weeks for HOURS on end. He said it was his absolute favorite gift. This is a great entertaining toy for children. He is 8 and all of his friends kept asking to take turns with his new toy. I even tried it myself. Moderate level of difficulty and it is made out of wood. This toy should last for as long as the string stays attached. The item arrived as described and this blue ocean marble kendama looks pretty awesome. I would recommend this toy for children 5 and up (any younger would probably become easily frustrated as it is a game of coordination).

Picked up one of these for both my son and daughter for Christmas. The build quality is great, and the colors are awesome, hated to have them use them knowing they were gonna nick up the paint. But they do use them and they have fun with them. Its the first time either of them have used a kendama. And yes, It will nick and chip the paint with use, but it does state that on the box. If its a bit difficult because the string is too long just wrap some of the string around the handle, it makes it a bit easier for the smaller kids.

Beautiful color, shiny metallic paint, plenty of variable plays. We received it April 10th, today July 11th, after 90 days of owning it, the paint is mostly gone, making it look unattractive, and worst yet a piece of the wood chipped off! My grandson, 8 years old even got a splinter from it. So dissapointed, both him and I. I think we should have gotton more for the $$ we paid. He did get many hours of fun but now I have to spend on another one.

My 5 and 8 year old love these. 5 stars, well made been durable for last month and unique.Do have complaints though the paint on the ball and cups chip as to be expected becuaee it is exactly that, painted. Also the blue one I ordered looked darker when I got it and we liked it because of how light it was. No biggie. Still 5 stars.

It a cute Kendama and my sone loves it, the only thing is the paint started chipping right away as it would get hit playing with it. If I would have known that I might would have just bought the simple wood ones.

This toy occupies my son for atleast 45 minutes just trying to get the darn ball on one of those grooves. Fun, helps with hand eye coordination. When other kids have one, they have "challenges" to see who can place ball on the groove first.. it's funny to watch! great toy, good quality and design. Just becareful of spacing of kids, that ball can hurt if it swings and hits you in the head or body :)

This will be a gift that won't be used by its recipient for quite some time, so I can't speak to how it works right now. Packaging seems intact and item looks just gorgeous. I am betting my kids will love it!

I gave this to my son today for his birthday and he's been playing with it for about an hour. The paint is already peeling away on the parts that the ball hits. I will be returning this item. This is very disappointing since it hasn't been used for more than an hour
