I am currently 22, obvious older than 18. So, I wonder what would happen if I tried dialing the 800 number and placing an order for this today. Would it be even possible to accomplish?
I love this thing! I still have it and I use it every so often. What's with all you people saying it's crap and doesn't work?! You just have to have fun with it and do the best you can!!
I was so tempted to buy this after seeing it at the Toys R Us. but after the demo girl didn't let me use it I am glad I didn't. There had to be a reason why she wouldn't let me try it. Obviously not as easy as it looks
My sister got this for her birthday one year. It most certainly does not work like in the commercial. It's almost impossible to draw on it without smudging or messing up your picture. Plus, the colors are muddy and not as pretty as advertised. We kept it around for years for some reason.
I remember when I was about 6, I saw this commercial and wanted one so bad so I called the phone number and asked if I could talk to Marvin so he could give me one. The operator laughed and hung up.
i remember when i got it, i was so in love with it, but the day my mom got it for me as a present i tried it, it was CRAP i tried hard to draw on it and guess what... NO RAINBOWS!
I remember this thing and NEEDING to have it. I was a piece of crap though. There was a rainbow background with black goop all over it and you attempted to move this "goop" around with a stick. I feel bad that my parents wasted money on this lol Although I really loved those markers. Those were pretty awesome :P
except that you could probably get similar sorts of markers for far cheaper from craft stores. I believe it was faber castel that made a range of markers that did a simlar sort of thing.
OMG I REMEMBER THESE!!! HAHAHA I REMEMBER SEEING THIS ON A COMMERCIAL WHEN I WAS 6 and I asked my mom to buy me one like ASAP. and when i did, i tried drawing on it..but...it wasn't as great...so my mom asked me if i was happy with it and i lied saying it's amazing..when..it truly...wasn't haha
I got one when I was little, after relentless months of begging... It doesn't work like that :( It's a piece of cardboard, essentially, with a rainbow printed on it. On top of that, there's black gel gooey stuff, which is covered in plastic. Moving around the black goo exposes the rainbow board underneath. Trying to draw anything with lines near each other smushes the goo around so it ruins what you have already drawn. Aw.
@superalphabetsoup I kinda liked it as a kid but yeah, its exactly what you said it is. on the ad it makes drawing on the board look smoth and effortless ,when I had to use it I had to go over again and again to make it look right.
WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP, it smudges when you draw, and no rainbow shows up at all. I tried to make a circle and it looked like a clown shat all over the board, and I was smeairng it around. >:(
this shit was all over cn and nick back in the late 90's. fuck, i think a good chunk of my pre-y2k memories are of watching commercials for these things. never did buy it though.
Yes; I think you can order it online. Supposedly it sucks though ... I never had one. Some people swear by it. Try Amazon or just Google it. I almost ordered one earlier this year until I read reviews of it.
Holy fuck I totally forgot about this thing!

It's true--it's absolutely TERRIBLE.
My mother ordered one for me and one for my brother. Forty unfortunate dollars went to that Marvin on that fateful day...
Basically you smear the black goo around. The goo covers a rainbow design, so when you get rid of the goo, the colors show.
They might as well have filled the thing with milk rather than goo. It wouldn't have made it any more difficult.
I wish I could meet this so-called "Marvin" along with all his other disappointed customers.
