Now I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea but I bought one of these last Friday and it's strangely hypotised me at home while I've been working. He's spinning endlessly behind me as I write this.

The magnet that keeps this little guy suspended over the base is quite strong and the whole figure is very visually appealing. However, the base's surface can get scratched up as you'll inevitably hear Snowball's bottom and the base smack together if he's not positioned properly before he can suspend himself.

Pricewise, Snowball is only really available overseas for $300+. He's still currently available for home delivery/click and collect at a lot of EB/Zing stores. If you're an Overwatch (Mei) fan like me, then I'd recommend little Snowball at this price.

  This is the stupidest thing in the world. It doesn't look like the flaps even move. But yolo, I bought one and will pick it up on the way to my STI test tomorrow.

    The flaps don't move. And I hope you fail your test. :)

  How difficult was it to set up? Looks like from the video if it isn’t dead centre it doesn’t levitate effectively?

    It's not hard once you know where the sweet spot is in the middle.

    If it isn't dead centre, Snowball's bottom will literally smack hard against the base's surface.

      Wonder if it still works even with a circle of foam padding on the snowflake.

        Snowball will still spin even if you put a credit card under him.

  Snowball's eye LED also changes as well. Spin him too fast for example and you'll see the dizzy sign.

  Thanks OP, this looks like a pretty cool item, purchased one as i've always wanted a magnetic floating item (starwars) but either expensive or sold out

  Mmmm, i kinda regret it now but maybe it'll grow on me.

  On second thought I like it, I like watching it spin, and the ring of shadows it casts,
