Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I was leary of this item right out of the box when I pushed the demo button and nothing happened. Since anything with Alvin is scarce I thought who knows when this thing was made I'll put some batteries in and give it a try anyway. It worked, well, for a short time. After a while Alvin quit singing, then he quit moving and now it just don't do anything. By short time I mean it died in just a couple hours. I bought this for my 9 year old who is on the Autism spectrum. She has a big collection of characters so when she watches a movie or TV program she likes to get the character to hold while she watches. We have a vast variety of Sponge Bob and his friends, Elmo, Dora, Barney, Shrek and all the Tella-tubbies. Some are from earlier years but she won't part with them and we don't dare, sometimes she remembers these things out of the blue and they had better be around. So she naturally expected when the recent Alvin & the Chipmunk movie came out there would be a character. No such luck until I ran across these things on Amazon. Unfortunately, even with it broke she don't want me to return it. Most of us who buy this will be getting it as a gift or something special for a child, so don't disappoint the child, forget this thing and move on to your next idea.
