The Flutterbye Flying Fairy is essentially an indoor toy helicopter with a plastic fairy body. It measures about 5 by 7.5 by 11 inches (HWD). The blades of the helicopter are actually the fluttering panels of her dress. The purple and pink paint job is decent and in the box, it looks like a winner.

The Flutterbye is actually made up of two parts: the fairy and a recharging station. The first red flag went up when I discovered the recharging station takes a whopping six AA batteries. That's a lot for any toy, let alone a little flying fairy. The fairy plugs into the station and takes about 30 minutes to charge. The charging station is also her fairy launch pad. When she's ready to fly, unplug her power cord from under her skirt. Then turn the power switch located under her skirt to the "on" position, and press the big purple button to let loose the magic!


Manufacturers and distributors generally have the option to repair, recycle, or destroy the problem product. In some cases, parts of the recalled products can be safely reused or recycled.

Sky Dancers are a line of toys that were popular in the mid-1990s and were the basis for an animated series.[1] The toys consisted of a pull-string base and a doll with foam wings. When the doll was inserted into the base and the string was pulled, it would launch into the air and spin its wings like a propeller as it flew, similar to a helicopter.Although the dolls had foam wings to prevent injury, more than 100 injuries were reported, ranging from temporary blindness to facial lacerations requiring stitches. Galoob, the manufacturer of the toys, recalled them in June 2000 after less than six years on the market; nearly 10,000,000 were recalled.

Toys

Galoob launched the toys during the 1994 winter holiday season, and were greatly successful.[citation needed] Galoob later released a similar toyline aimed at boys, Dragon Flyz.

The toys were re-released in 2005 with an adapted design, manufactured by Play Along Toys.

In 1996, the toys were the basis for an animated television spinoff produced by Gaumont Multimedia[3] in association with Abrams Gentile Entertainment. The series premiered on France 2 on April 12, 1997, and had twenty-six episodes.[4] The series follows five students at the High Hope Dance Academy under Queen Skyla, who work to defend the kingdom from her brother-in-law Sky Clone. Sky Clone killed his brother Skyler, Skyla's husband, as revenge for him being selected as king over him, but was unable to gain control of the Sky Swirl Stone, which gave the Sky Dancers their powers
