Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description: Say goodbye to normal magnifiers! With the Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye hand-held device, kids can view everyday objects at 200 times their regular size. Recommended for kids ages six and up, the EyeClops creates hours of endless play and exploration that's fun for the entire family.

Ordinary to Extraordinary
Much more fun than a microscope, the EyeClops transforms any television into an interactive TV toy. With the EyeClops, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Magnified to 200 times the normal size and viewed on any TV screen, minuscule salt crystals morph into blocks of ice; hair and carpet turn into giant noodles; and small insects become fearsome creatures. The Bionic Eye has three built-in LED lights so kids can illuminate any object, including their own skin.

Interactive and Easy to Use
Kids love using the TV along with this educational device to share a new activity with their friends. Parents too can join in the fun and will love how their children learn and play. So you don't have to touch everything you look at, the toy comes with an observation dish and tube, perfect for viewing liquids, salt, and bugs. The battery-powered device is simple to use, plugging directly into the A/V jacks found on any current TV model. The brightly colored, hard plastic device is child-safe and stands up to hours of scientific exploration. The EyeClops requires five AA batteries.

The EyeClops Bionic Eye lets you view everyday objects at 200 times their regular size. View larger.

Magnify even living objects, such as your pet, and view all of it on any TV screen. View larger.

Product Description: Get up close and personal with virtually any item! The Eyeclops is a handheld bionic microscope meant to be used as a fun toy - not as an educational aid. Simply plug it into any TV, turn it on and magnify any object up to 200 times its normal size. The image projects onto your TV. It's a cinch to use as there are no complicated instructions to understand, software to install or system requirements necessary. Requires 5 "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 14" x 4.25" x 12.

EyeClops is among the very best

I purchased the EyeClops for my six year old son's birthday.

When first powered up, the quality of the EyeClops -- how easy it is to use, and how good the image is -- are surprizing. To have such high magnification and such a clear color image in a *toy* is impressive. Maybe the sharp image is what motivates my three year old son to pay attention when big brother is using it. The internal light source means no fuss with aligning a mirror, sunlight, or some bogus "light kit" like with usual microscopes.

The other doodads in the box -- the focusing card, the containers, and the stand -- are neat goodies that make the EyeClops a cool system.

We look at the fine details of other toys, photographs, and printed matter, including dollar bills. We look at wood and cloth, too.

One note: our rechargable NiMH batteries do not provide enough voltage to make the Eyeclops provide a color image. With freshly-charged NiMH batteries, the Eyeclops provides a very good black and white image, but that is far less satisfying than color.

After having the EyeClops for a few months, my son has started asking me about atoms and electrons. So I think this "toy" has had a lasting educational effect on him.

I purchased this toy for my granddaughters 5th birthday. She with the aid of her father are having a lot of fun with it. She is a smart girl and her parents think this is a very educational toy. They live 1400 miles away so I haven't seen the actual toy but so far have received good reports.

Incredible Eye

The eyeclops exceeded my expectations. I got this for my kids age 6 and 9, but I probably play with it more. Bugs are phenomenal to view. The clarity of the picture is amazing. I think some reviewers may not have grasped how to focus, but it is actually quite easy. The eyeclops is focused by screwing the round eyepiece and you can easily adjust it for skin, clothing, coins, etc. This is a great way to learn and have fun. I saw a big white fuzzy catapillar walking into work and I almost grabbed it to view under the eyeclops. Super cool!!!
