About VANLINNY
Toy designer teams all over the world present toys for 0-14 years old. Let kids enjoy the fun and develop intelligence at the same time
-
After working as a designer for a famous toy brand for 32 years and became Grandpa, Ged started to review hundreds of toys designed by himself over the past few decades.Soon, he found the problem: Most toys are designed with the need for parents to buy a gift for their kids. Rather than considering the needs of kids, such as what life experiences,joy,and knowledge they can gain from the toy. So Ged and his colleagues co-founded VANLINNY in 2013.
-
During the past ten years, Ged has traveled to more than 20 countries, shared his designs with the local children,and received their feedback. VANLINNY's toys are produced by factories in China, Vietnam, Singapore, and India. To find the most healthy raw materials and strict manufacturing process, Ged visited hundreds of factories. And he finally chose five of them. Today, you can buy VANLINNY toys in more than half of the countries in the world.

Old review: From the moment I opened the box something seemed off. The robot I received was obviously a returned product. I decided to try to assemble it. There are bolts missing. If that wasnt enough once it was close enough to being assembled I plugged in the motors to test them. The motor that lifts the arm is DOA, (guess now I know why it was returned). Going to return this and get my money back.
Once put together the toy feels solid. It's mostly metal and parts are manufactured well so things fit nicely.
Here are my observations and the issues I ran into just 10 minutes into assembly:
The factory this company uses to manufacture the constituent parts apparently can't be bothered to follow this company's specs, and this company apparently can't be bothered to do basic quality control checks, either. Look at my attached pictures of the two metal pieces that form the length of the chassis. The factory this company is using can't even reliably stamp a simple thin strip of metal the same way twice! If they were using a standard metal press with a template to cut these pieces, then what I received would have been literally impossible.
In addition, many of the threaded slots in the metal pieces were not drilled plum, didn't have even threads (see last picture), and weren't fully centered to the pass-through slots on connecting pieces. These issues resulted in screws going in at obtuse angles, stripping threads, and stripping screw heads because of threads that didn't line up evenly (most of the metal slots' threads aren't contiguous and have gaps between them by design, also shown in the last picture).... Ultimately causing some parts of the metal pieces to not sit flush or fit in the ways called for by the instructions. Yet another issue of poor manufacturing quality.
Finally, be aware that the parts of the wheels that contact the ground are made of cheap slick plastic with zero grip. If by some miracle you receive a kit with every piece included, fully functional, and made to spec, good luck trying to drive it on laminate, hardwood, vinyl, or tile flooring.
