5.0 out of 5 stars A real hit! 11 Dec 2009
I bought 2 of these for my Dad's 70th birthday party. I created a relay race in the garden and I dont think I have laughed so much! It certainly kept the younger adults entertained. Would highly recommend to anyone. it is easy to pump up, has a great high bounce and is ideal for adults. It will be used at many more parties.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unleash your inner child! 23 Oct 2008
By S. Gray
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Other fantastic resurrections include care bears, love hearts and most recently of all the Wispa bar, however the coolest and most iconic of them all is the space hopper! Ungainly? - yes, it can be at times! Elegent? - most certainly not! Cool? - hell yeah!

My space hopper hasn't had a single moments rest since it has arrived! I've bounced all round the house and the garden, receiving a few odd looks from neighbours and a little disturbing for my black labrador who felt it necessary to bark at it all night when I first blew it up!

That reminds me! A pump that can both inflate and deflate adds to ease of use and means that it can easily be stored away - not that you want to put it down for one second.

Go ahead and unleash your inner child!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not "proper" retro - not the same material. 7 May 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
A spacehopper is a spacehopper, right? Having recently received one as a gift which was thin plastic which burst and then literally came apart on the first day, I wanted to replace it with one that was going to be tough and ordered this item on the strength of the product description: "made of tough, thick rubber". I expected it to be made as the original, 70s spacehoppers were: a thick, matte and slightly gritty-feeling rubber which lasted well. Unfortunately that's NOT what this is made of; it feels like slightly sticky, shiny plastic - not thick at all - and the box bears a warning that the toy should not be used anywhere there is a danger of puncture (such as in a garden, maybe?). As I'm unable to print off a returns label at the moment I will keep it for now and try it: but if it goes "bang" as rapidly as the last one, it will be returned as "not as described" and a refund will be expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!! 27 July 2010
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I bought 2 of these, one for me and one for a moving in present for my friend. It has to be one of the best thing I have ever bought. I'm 19 and so am a pretty good age to be playing on this and I have managed to convert most of my friends and hopefully they will all buy one too.

I just like to bounce around the house and it also just gives somewhere novel for my friends to sit when they come round to my house.

It is just a great product. I'm quite a big guy too and it is still big enough for me to play on, so no need for me to be worried that i'm going to break it.

A definite buy!! Get a few if you can so friends and/or family can all play on them together!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant adult space hopper! Loved it! 23 May 2010
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Thought this was a bit expensive when I ordered it if I'm honest but given they seemed to be like gold dust at the time to get hold of thought would get a couple and give them a go. Was also a bit concerned about it holding my weight as I'm a big girl but have no problems at all! The included pump is brilliant, inflates and deflates, and it blows up very easily. My friend and I have had hours of fun on these with the kids. Would definitely recommend (though it's more hard work than when I was a kid!!).

Giant Space Hopper

My Kids voted this the best toy they got for Christmas, I could have saved myself a fortune because all the other games are just on the shelves in their room, but the Giant Space Hoppers are still in every day use! I would recommend these 'hoppers' to anyone of any age (teenagers suddenly become happy again, lifting them out of their depressions)

This product looked great but failed miserably under basic conditions. My 11yr old wanted these for her birthday party. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun
Big enough for adults to act like kids and not too big for most youngsters. Fairly robust but I would avoid sharp objects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun and good exercise
highly amusing and tough. It does take a lot of effort and soon gets you out of breath especially if you have two of them and race!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brother loved it!
I bought this as a fun Xmas gift for my brother. He's in his late 30's and fancies himself as a bit retro. He totally loved it. We all had a go on it after Xmas dinner. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very strong
Look good on arrival and easy to inflate, but wasn't very strong and is now sat in my garden deflated.

4.0 out of 5 stars A blast from the past!
My partner loved getting this for his birthday. It seems quite sturdy but is not as big as I'd imagined it would be. Bouncing on it is a little difficult when you have long legs! Read more
