Thanks for all the feedback so far folks.
The team at Worlds Apart have read through your comments and wanted us to pass on the following message to you all:

"We're delighted to have your feedback on Winnie the Pooh Interactive Friend and really pleased to know that so many of you and your children have enjoyed being some of the first to have a chance to play with him! We knew that the hide and seek feature was going to be one of the best features that kids would really enjoy playing, and its lovely to hear that your little ones loved having Pooh for company at meal times! A cuddly interactive toy is quite unique and we?re glad this was one of the strongly appreciated features, along with the fact he looks exactly how you'd expect Pooh to look!

We read with interest some of your other comments. Whilst some mums mentioned that they found him quite loud, our research showed that he needed to operate at a particular level in order for the 'game play' to be effective and fun. It was also really important for this toy to sound authentic so for the few mums who found his voice a little annoying, we can only apologise but he sounds just like the Pooh most children know and love!

We accept for many people, the price of £39.99 could be off-putting, but when designing and manufacturing toys, it?s a very fine balance between including exciting features that enhance and increase the play value of a toy whilst keeping it at a value-for-money and affordable price, and it was really important for us to design a toy that offered a great range of both useful and fun features. Regarding the spoon's paint becoming chipped and some users reporting this as a potential issue, we have raised this already with our manufacturing team and will replace this item if it is found to be faulty*.

Thank you once again. The Team At Worlds Apart"
