Honey my baby pony - any good?

[Bramshott]

DD1's letter to Santa contains 2 things - Dora Suds and Surprise which she is frankly not having because there would be carnage with DD2 at bathtime (!), and I love ponies Honey my baby pony. Anyone got this? Is it any good? I am generally deeply sceptical about interractive / battery operated toys and think they just break, but then I should really get her one of the things on her list shouldn't I?!?

DD1,who is now 6,had this for Christmas last year and has played with it a lot and it is still on the original batteries.I had misgivings about it,but she had been asking for that really big expensive Butterscotch pony and I'd sooner buy a real pony than that.Anyway,I didn't think it had much play value,but she loves it still,and takes it to bed most nights.

Have bought honey my baby pony for dd 8 as its the only thing she's asked FC for. I had it out of the box yesterday to play with it and was not impressed I think it will break very quickly and the motor inside is noisy. I would not have bought this by choice but she is obsessed with ponies and got Butterscotch fur real pony 3 christmas ago and still plays with her.
I am already dreading the thought of the thing being up at the table with us on Christmas day, but yes it does look like you'll have to buy it £39.99 in Argos.

Thanks both.

Looks like I will be getting it I think. Not because I think it's the best thing, but because it's what she wants I suppose . . . [dilemma emoticon]

There isn't another option of a soft cuddly pony which doesn't need batteries or interract is there?!?

Oh, she is 6 btw - will be 7 in Jan.
