Is thia even safe for kids? Like if there's a smell and you're coughing that hard then is it safe? I have asthma and this would have hurt me if I used this as a kid
Thing is with mixies you can buy ingrédients to refil in order to make more spells if you wish to, but I think that’s to expensive Just use stuff from your house I place tiny gift in the box for my nephew and reset the cauldron with the key He uses bath bomb, real feather, flower… and he places the creature in spell mode on an handle of the caldron So far he used it 8 Times and there is still mist. You can use product from électronique cigarettes to refill the mist tank
Hey, Jackie! I'm a huge fan who also suffers from an "invisible" disability, so I love that you make it a common thing to talk about. I saw this toy on TikTok and HOPED you would review it! Thank you!! 💜
@FuQin Pan it means that it’s a internal disability like if you have back pain! You can’t tell if someone is having back pain unless you ask! Which is why they call it quote on quote invisible disability!
This reminds me of the furby that was popular a number of years ago. Those were also interactive. They "awoke" speaking only "furbish" but after a while started using more recognizable words. Each one had it's own name - tho it took a while to recognize what it was saying. If you left it on and didn't mess with it, it would start making sounds to get your attention. The first one I got would eventually sing "doo bee doo bee doo" in the melody of "strangers in the night". And they would make a big as if to say "I'm bored." You could also put several together and they would play with each other. I had 2 of the big ones and one baby. The baby was a tyrant. It would take over the play sessions. "You dance!" and the other two would start dancing. "You sing!" and the other two would sing (but not the same thing). Then finally "You sleep!" and the other two would go to sleep! Then it would start demanding my attention. Kinda creepy actually. 😬
My aunt got me a black furby that was dressed as a wizard. Now my sister has him and gotten into customizing furbys. She didn't destroy the wizard, he is already pretty sweet.
I had 3 of them. I still have 1. I forgot how noisy they were when I showed them to my niece and nephews. Needless to say, they found it just as creepy and would carry it by the tuft of hair to keep it from "waking". I still have the "dictionary" it came with. I held it upside down as a kid and it got "angry" which terrified me so I stopped playing. It sounded quite demonic (to my tiny ears and brain).
This is one of those toys that’s really cute for a few minutes, but the cauldron gimmick only works once and the toy itself I can’t imagine keeping a kid busy for too long. Maybe fine at retail price but certainly not for the ridiculous price scalpers want for it.
Actually the mist part is good for a few times it even comes with extra liquid for the mist sure it doesn’t come with more of the ingredients but you could always make some out of paper food dye etc with your little one it could be really fun
Actually the cauldron works over and over, you can get extra “ingredients” and I think you can also use your own things, and the gem box it came with is what you can put prizes in or other little toys for the reveal
I know they sell refills for this, but I've seen people make their own as well using stuff like baking soda, tiny homemade bath bombs, glitter etc. And you can put things in the compartment where the toy was, which I think is cool because it could be a really cute way to give kids a gift with something new in there haha.
Late comment, but have to say 'THANK YOU, NERDECRAFTER!" 👏 My sister bought a Magic Mixies for her son's birthday party as a magic show spectacle. I shared your video with her and we each watched it multiple times. Pre-charged the cauldron, familiarized the steps and sounds, and the live demonstration in front of 12 kids went PERFECTLY! So thank you for your content and essentially being the midwife to little 'Gunther' 😂
This is nostalgia! To me, this looks like a hybrid of Treasure Rocks and Furby thrown together in the same package. Very reminiscent of the 90s. Cheers from a Canadian expat in Japan 🇨🇦🇯🇵
Coming from a conservative household growing up, I can see my mom having a heart attack over this toy when I was a kid and telling me it has Satan written all over it 😂😂 its absolutely cute as heck though. I’m glad more charming and fun toys like these are coming out for this generation’s Littles.
Man some people are crazy lol. I'm sure your mom is lovely, but I've really never understood the mindset of how "magic" is somehow demonic to conservative/christian people. I def agree though, this is cute & fun :)
It's crazy because I was just thinking the enchantment mode sounds like the people that roll around on the ground or stand on the chairs speaking in tongues. Reason number 5000 why I won't go back to an evangelical church ever.
Technically, she wouldn't be wrong... Most of it is useless junk. So for 150$, a lot of greed went into it. lol But for what she would actually call satanic, it's pretty laughable.
@@snakewithapen5489 Simple. Magic comes with Wicca, aka paganism. Paganism is the enemy of the church. My people have been slaughtered by them for centuries. Christians hate us.
A really nice TH-camr, Jen, who's also Canadian went through a whole journey to get one of these. She made a very detailed video on it but I can't remember if it was on NexJen channel, or GreatBigToyBox 🤔 There is also a warning on the big instructions about kids with asthma and other sensitivities and it says you can do it without the smokey reaction.
Jen is my favourite for toy videos :) Imagine how popular this would've been in the Furby times. I remember we were all scaring ourselves trying to do witchy things after watching The Craft, Charmed etc in the late 90s/early 00s.
I love the replayability of this toy! I find these mystery type toys almost always come with a huge amount of plastic waste in the packaging. This toy can be replayed with the mist(?) or just used for playing pretend. Don't know about the price though.
If you get it at retail it’s not bad. I found it at Walmart for $54. Made my kids Christmas. Mine recently got more in stock as well but they are now $59
At one point, the company changed the price point by about 40-50 dollars, going into the 100 dollar range retail. This was pre-Christmas. They saw that it was hugely popular and decided to take advantage.
My little sister got one of these and started running around yelling, “where’s my magic mixie?!” She had lost the mixing wand and was yelling and banging on doors looking for it 😂. Other than that she was very happy with the experience.
I'm going to be honest: I want to see you customize the cauldron to be a tool of DARKNESS. Understandable if it is too complicated, being electronic and all.
Wow, that is exactly a furby, just a modern (and un-creepy) version. The "spell" stuff is cute and clever--not sure what you do with the big plastic "cauldron" after you've got the toy, though.
Add it to the never ending supply of useless non recyclable plastic waste the earth is being buried under. While the toy is cute it’s a waste of resources and creates more waste. Not at all environmentally friendly so I’m not sure half an hour fumbling around is worth the waste it creates.
@@finnthewestiefinnmccool5916 This just in, no one is allowed to have fun if it creates waste, children must play with recycled cans and dead leaves only
@@HowAboutAHug This is kinda the problem! “no one can have fun if it creates waste”..people decided waste wasn’t too bad if you had fun, and now the coral is dying and there are literally islands made of trash. Fun has it’s limits.. I played with leaves and sticks as a kid, not that bad honestly, would recommend 👌
I found some at Wal-Mart for $56 before Christmas. The cashier seen it asked where I found it and then he got one for his niece. He said his sister looked every where. I hope the little girl that got it liked it. It was a Sub for Santa gift. I kind of wish I could have seen her face.
I remember them from black Friday sale, a father and daughter had a cart full of them, I thought they were cute at the time but had no idea what they were or why they had so many.
Hi Jackie! I’m SO thankful that you tried this product, my autistic daughter has wanted one so bad, but I’ve been hesitant to spend that kind of money on one toy! We have a limited fixed income so I didn’t want to get it and it not be worth the extra expense! Her 21st birthday is coming up (2/25, she’s also developmentally delayed, so physically she’ll be 21, but mentally/emotionally she’s an 11yo) I think I’m going to try and surprise her with this though, if I can find one! Thank you for being yourself and showing her that it’s ok to be quirky! We both love watching your videos! And she absolutely LOVES your chair! Wishing you nothing but the best!
@@ghostgatsby9004 thank you SO very much for your kind words! Unfortunately I rarely hear that and when I do it is always much appreciated! Ultimately I wasn’t able to pull it off for her birthday month but I am saving up to (fingers crossed) get her one soon. It just may take a couple of months but I will get it for her! I did however surprise her by taking her to pet some sting rays and see a massive aquarium a few days after her birthday (we had snow/ice on the roads and couldn’t travel safely for several days) it brought her SO much joy and seeing the world through her eyes brought me joy! And seeing how happy she was of course! I wish you nothing but the best and hope you enjoy your toy for many years to come!
OMG coincidence!!! I just filmed a Magic Mixies video 2 days ago and the fog ended up setting off the smoke alarm in my office. 4 firemen broke open my door and I'm now waiting for a $1000 bill from the building management 🤣 WORST TOY EVER
OMG nooo 😭😭! This is absolutely terrible. I hope you recorded some of this 😂 ask magic mixies company to reimburse you for not putting a disclaimer. Can’t wait to see your video
I have several invisible disabilities and they are such a hard thing to deal with sometimes but Jackie you have been an amazing inspiration to me not only to share but to become more of a self advocate and have taken my life back into my own hands. Thank you so much. 💓
Jackie, in the UK the Magic Mixers cost £60. And you can buy spell/mist refills for £20 but you don't get another character, only the spells. I think that's good but the entire package is around £30 too expensive to my mind! Cute doll and all but there was a toy just like this when my kids were little, Furby I think they were called and with that one you could talk to it and it would interact with you way more than that one you got does. So basically, it's a knockoff of a Furby with a bucket and a wand! I'm not saying it's not cute, coz it is. But for that much money, I feel there should be more to it. Am I becoming a Grinch or am I just seeing a Furby in a bucket with some flashing lights?
I absolutely agree these things look over priced as heck. I'm glad you can get refills to use it again, because prior to this I thought it was a one and done, but it's still excessive. I don't think I'd realistically pay more than $25-$30 for this. Furbys were never anywhere near that expensive! I had one and so did my grandparents, and they were like $10! $50-$150 is absolutely ridiculous.
I think that’s a good thing that they are a little less interactive than furby, I had one of those things and it was totally evil and had mean eyes, this thing is nothing but adorable,
Jackie, you are a light in a dark world; your videos have given me free doses of serotonin right when I needed them for so long now and I hope you know you're appreciated for it!
I just wanted to let you know that although I've only been watching for half a year or so, I'm disabled and mostly bedridden. You bring such joy to my life and always make me laugh. When you took that mini break over the holidays, I missed you so much. I giggled when I saw your first of the year video pop up and again today, I had a huge smile when you posted another new video. Thank you for being you. 💜
I hunted one down for my daughter for Christmas. I spent an entire morning repeatedly checking and refreshing my Target app. I was thankfully successful because we loved it! I only had to pay $60 for hers. 😬 What sold me was the fact that you can reload it and buy refill charms to make new (or already loved) friends. 🖤
When you said about seeing the one on the shelf I could relate. Often I have gone without the intention of buying something, but when I see just one and see online it's sold out virtually everywhere, I buy it!
My daughter wanted one of these but I’ve avoided it because I don’t want to have to find a spot to store the big plastic cauldron but since I’m pretty it’s mainly the idea of making crazy “concoctions” luckily she’s also happy as a lark if I just let her loose with some bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, dishwashing soap, flour and some food colouring (she likes to pretend to be a scientist).
I wonder if the cauldron can be used as a diffuser now. I run one every day, that is how they made the mist. It would be awesome if you could use it that way after the toy popped out.
Having gone ththrough the original Ferbie and then the next lot I think I'd prefer them as they were more interactive. The second generation could be scary and a niece got one that seemed to be taken over by Satan. I think they turned it off for quite awhile. Mind you they were one of those toys that would turn on for no reason at night and scare the living daylights out of you. I'm glad that you recovered from the last stage when the mist became toxic. A negative point for me with asthmatics in the family.
I got curious & looked online for any homemade recipes for the mist function & found them. Turns out it's partially made from glycerin. I'd love to see Nerdecrafter try some of these out so folks can see if they actually need to buy the refills or if diy would work.
This was the toy for last Christmas, which meant it was sold out everywhere. Everytime my daughter asked for one I told her I'd try, but probably wouldn't find one. The worst part was that there were so many scalpers selling these for twice the original price
This seems fun, but it also seems expensive and I don’t want my mom, or anyone to buy it for me (even though my b-day is like 6 days away). But I’ll probably play with it for like maybe a week at best, let it be, and come back to it 3-4 years later (that’s how I am for most of my toys) so I don’t want them wasting money.
i got myself one for christmas and absolutely love it! you can even put things in the box to "create" them and they pop up like the doll did, i oddly like the smell of the mist just can't inhale too much lol but overall this is probably the coolest thing i've gotten in a while ♡ loved seeing your thoughts on it!!
When I babysat, the little girl had one of those and you can reset it and buy more of the ‘potions’ I think on amazon. You can also put the furby back in to get the full experience all over again. And you can choose your potions if you reorder them. It was so fun watching her and my daughter play with it.
My favorite thing about this is that you can use the cauldron over and over, so kids can make up their own little spells and get the magic of the lights and sounds and mist. It's just so stinkin cute, and I wish *all* toys had that kind of extended playability!
Man this toy had me so intrigued back in december, thank you for trying this out. Also you need more 'crash' and 'smash' sounds for when you throw packaging, that would be fun.
I love Jackie because lots of us English Grains aren’t allowed to watch TH-cam at 9:00pm as many American TH-camrs post at that time but Jackie posts at a time where We can watch xx
Yea, kids only play with stuff like that for maybe a day..it has limited interaction so kids are bound to get bored fast 😅 Only reason they wouldn’t is if they’re just into dolls..they’d turn it off and just use it like a doll for maybe a year or a few before it gets chucked
I have seen this and thought about buying for my niece. I wanted to do it with her as a bonding kinda thing. She is only 6, so I just knew she would love it. Now, though... I have asthma and dont think it'd be such a good idea. Thank you for this video!
Gives me hatchimal and furbie vibes but feels like a nice mix. Seems pricey but $50 for an experience like that isn't too bad, although the fog making you cough causes some concern about the effects it is having and it's possible toxicity? Putting that aside though at least it still interacts once you've 'summoned' your creature. Although is there any further use for the cauldron once you've cast the spell?
It's specifically says on the packaging it's non toxic glycerine that makes the smoke, but however can cause issues for asthmatics if directly inhaled. You can use the cauldron without the smoke feature.
@@aysharowe9492 ah I see, I remember her saying there were 2 play modes and one being smokeless but didn't know what caused the smoke, good to know. Thanks.
Personally I think furby falls into a separate category. The only "reveal" with the original was it's name. The rest of the toy was meant to kind of be played with for a long time and treated as a pet. Toys like hatchimal and this thing are built around the reveal. The actual mixie doesn't do much and neither does a hatchimal.
@@strayiggytv true enough. I remember there were lots of games and reactions with a furby whereas this doesn't seem to do as much, it's more the learning aspect that reminded me of the furbys as I remember they were supposed to learn too. To be honest as much as the reveal is magical and wonderful to a younger child I do find it disappointing just how little the toy does once the reveal is over, especially considering the price. Personally I'd much rather have a furby.
I honestly think, even if I was like 8 or 9 my family wouldn't spend the money for that toy. Seems like a waste of hard earned money, love your video Jackie and welcome back from holiday!!
I saw saw about 25 for sale in my local Target store. They are $99 AUD. Yes I'm in Australia 😂😂 My wish was that you uploaded more craft and unboxing videos. ❤️
The water reminds me of when I "cooked" as a child.(all I did was add different types of spices that we didn't use into water. Any one like sprinkle, garlic, and mud pasta?)
That little creature is so cute!! I think I'd buy myself one just for the experience of the mixing in the cauldron & the toy, but I don't think I can justify spending that much for it. Definitely really cute though! I've seen it here in the US anywhere between about $55 - $60.
As a little grain I 100% would have loved this! My mother would have never allowed this "witchcraft" in the house. It didn't stop me from mixing "potions" outside though
You can! You can reset it and play with your own ingredients around the house. I would have loved filling this with stuff from the yard and the woods around my house when I was I a kid!
I watched another person review this toy and I would give 2 things. 1. The thing seems to be time sensitive at times do you gotta go fast if you wanna do everything before the mist shows up 2. The other person I watched also had an experience where her fire alarm went off because of the toy. If it's a home alarm it will make noise, if it's connected to the fire department(unlikely but possible), basically, you pay a lot more money than what is expected. Yes the toy does use glycerin for the mist. Its on the warning label. DO THE TOY OUTSIDE IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR FIRE ALARM GOING OFF OR FOR YOUR LUNGS TO BE HIT. Thank you very much.
Haha so hyped to see you unboxing one of these in our sub box!! I've already been watching a bunch of vids of it on youtube, so feels great to have one delivered directly to me without having to go hunt for it >u< - p.s i am Steph (surprising, i know!)
Um yeah you can put water in it again and I’ll make bubbling sounds and still have the lights and it’ll do the tap tap thing but you can’t put anything else in it or else it might break i mean according to the instructions
I got it when the trend started, if you mess it up it’s fine. You can redo it, you can just add water instead of the stuff and put your own prizes in the compartment on the bottom!
I’m concerned why Toys R Us is selling this for the price resellers sold it on EBay. It’s $60 USD so should be around 75 Canadian Dollars right? Love your videos.
So about the colour there is blue,pink which are the same characters but different colours and there is also a multicoloured one which there are 2 different characters you can get but same colour!
12 minutes in and I’m so thankful for this video! I was thinking about getting this for my daughter as she’s been asking for it but wasn’t sure.. now I know I’m definitely not getting it because she has severe asthma so this would cause an attack. Sorry you had to deal with that in an enclosed space 😬
My daughter got hers today for Christmas and she was so happy to have one that was like yours but pink. She named it Cat and when we were making it she warned her grandma to stand back because the mist smells bad. Thank you for the review and for being so kind. P.s. she also got the Super Not Another Crap Kit and is so excited to make a figure
By giving you two reds in a row, it did actually make your salt level go up! 🤣 As someone with asthma I felt so bad when the fog was so bad. It’s cute for sure, but at its price level it isn’t something I’d get for my nieces or nephews.
I feel like you and Canadian TH-camr NexJex would get along pretty good. She does toy reviews (for the people buying the toy/collectable)and crafts. This video reminded me of her review of this product. Also thank you for being Awesome!
I can hypothesise that the little bags contain the things as followed: #2: a mix of Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid (or basically, ingredients for bath bombs, minus the oil because it's not pressed). #3: I don't really know what that could be. In another video, I heard it might be something like soap flakes? #4: the feather is obviously a printed wafer of sorts. #5: could be a bath bomb, but without citric acid. #6: yeah.... I have no idea what that stuff is. The mist is an atomiser. In all, definitely NOT worth 150$. It could be worth 50$ (Canadian dollars), at most, but even that would be expensive. Lets face it, it basically consisted of throwing useless junk together in water and non of it did anything worthwhile.

Also I hope you're doing well and have a good day
Thing is with mixies you can buy ingrédients to refil in order to make more spells if you wish to, but I think that’s to expensive
Just use stuff from your house
I place tiny gift in the box for my nephew and reset the cauldron with the key
He uses bath bomb, real feather, flower… and he places the creature in spell mode on an handle of the caldron
So far he used it 8 Times and there is still mist. You can use product from électronique cigarettes to refill the mist tank

@@HowAboutAHug This is kinda the problem! “no one can have fun if it creates waste”..people decided waste wasn’t too bad if you had fun, and now the coral is dying and there are literally islands made of trash. Fun has it’s limits..
I played with leaves and sticks as a kid, not that bad honestly, would recommend 👌
It reminds of both the Furby from way back, and honestly Gizmo from gremlins, Mogwai? And i would have loved that as a child.
I found some at Wal-Mart for $56 before Christmas. The cashier seen it asked where I found it and then he got one for his niece. He said his sister looked every where. I hope the little girl that got it liked it. It was a Sub for Santa gift. I kind of wish I could have seen her face.
I remember them from black Friday sale, a father and daughter had a cart full of them, I thought they were cute at the time but had no idea what they were or why they had so many.
Hi Jackie! I’m SO thankful that you tried this product, my autistic daughter has wanted one so bad, but I’ve been hesitant to spend that kind of money on one toy! We have a limited fixed income so I didn’t want to get it and it not be worth the extra expense! Her 21st birthday is coming up (2/25, she’s also developmentally delayed, so physically she’ll be 21, but mentally/emotionally she’s an 11yo) I think I’m going to try and surprise her with this though, if I can find one!
Thank you for being yourself and showing her that it’s ok to be quirky! We both love watching your videos! And she absolutely LOVES your chair! Wishing you nothing but the best!
Sending you both gentle hugs ❤️
I’m late to this but as an autistic person myself can I just say you sound like a lovely parent!!! I hope she loved it, I cried when I opened mine!
@@ghostgatsby9004 thank you SO very much for your kind words! Unfortunately I rarely hear that and when I do it is always much appreciated! Ultimately I wasn’t able to pull it off for her birthday month but I am saving up to (fingers crossed) get her one soon. It just may take a couple of months but I will get it for her! I did however surprise her by taking her to pet some sting rays and see a massive aquarium a few days after her birthday (we had snow/ice on the roads and couldn’t travel safely for several days) it brought her SO much joy and seeing the world through her eyes brought me joy! And seeing how happy she was of course! I wish you nothing but the best and hope you enjoy your toy for many years to come!
OMG coincidence!!! I just filmed a Magic Mixies video 2 days ago and the fog ended up setting off the smoke alarm in my office. 4 firemen broke open my door and I'm now waiting for a $1000 bill from the building management 🤣 WORST TOY EVER
OMG nooo 😭😭! This is absolutely terrible. I hope you recorded some of this 😂 ask magic mixies company to reimburse you for not putting a disclaimer. Can’t wait to see your video
Hiiii
😱 nooo! Lol
Lol
@@selenawang4227wow
I have several invisible disabilities and they are such a hard thing to deal with sometimes but Jackie you have been an amazing inspiration to me not only to share but to become more of a self advocate and have taken my life back into my own hands. Thank you so much. 💓
I love to see how in the background Jackie has Moriah Elizabeth’s Pickel the Dinosaur Teddy ❤!
that whole process looked like so much fun. as a kid who tried to make her own magic potions as is, I would have been all over this.
Jackie, in the UK the Magic Mixers cost £60. And you can buy spell/mist refills for £20 but you don't get another character, only the spells. I think that's good but the entire package is around £30 too expensive to my mind! Cute doll and all but there was a toy just like this when my kids were little, Furby I think they were called and with that one you could talk to it and it would interact with you way more than that one you got does. So basically, it's a knockoff of a Furby with a bucket and a wand! I'm not saying it's not cute, coz it is. But for that much money, I feel there should be more to it. Am I becoming a Grinch or am I just seeing a Furby in a bucket with some flashing lights?
I absolutely agree these things look over priced as heck. I'm glad you can get refills to use it again, because prior to this I thought it was a one and done, but it's still excessive. I don't think I'd realistically pay more than $25-$30 for this. Furbys were never anywhere near that expensive! I had one and so did my grandparents, and they were like $10! $50-$150 is absolutely ridiculous.
I think that’s a good thing that they are a little less interactive than furby, I had one of those things and it was totally evil and had mean eyes, this thing is nothing but adorable,
Furby in a bucket, and Furby was horrifying enough without being served up like a stock pot of mystical plushie gumbo...
I agree that it's overpriced, but as a kid I would have used that cauldron forever to make 'potions', no need for refills.
@@ZephariusBe I’m from the US and it was on Amazon for around 30 dollars or so. So seems worth it to me.
Jackie frantically ‘dubbing thee Pumpernickel’ had me rolling! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I had to rewatch it ahahahhahaha
So glad someone filmed the INSIDE
They're poseable! They'rer only flat to fit in there, but they're made like those soft armature pose dolls. =3 The cauldron is also re-usable!
Jackie, you are a light in a dark world; your videos have given me free doses of serotonin right when I needed them for so long now and I hope you know you're appreciated for it!
I just wanted to let you know that although I've only been watching for half a year or so, I'm disabled and mostly bedridden. You bring such joy to my life and always make me laugh. When you took that mini break over the holidays, I missed you so much. I giggled when I saw your first of the year video pop up and again today, I had a huge smile when you posted another new video. Thank you for being you. 💜
I'm disabled and I know what it is like to be bedridden. Hang in there. Hope your health gets better. ❤️
@Shann Hall-LocmannVanBennekom and @McKenzieEliza1995 -- sending you wishes and thoughts for health, peace and joy!💜🙏
Pumpernikkel didn't work... so Jackie starts hitting it vigerously in the head. I laughed so hard.
Was so worth the hype. I loved making this playing with the toy and making my video!!! So much fun!!!!
You should watch Maqaroon's video on this toy. She had the fire dept come to her studio, but also made a cool homemade plush inspired by the toy
I hunted one down for my daughter for Christmas. I spent an entire morning repeatedly checking and refreshing my Target app. I was thankfully successful because we loved it! I only had to pay $60 for hers. 😬 What sold me was the fact that you can reload it and buy refill charms to make new (or already loved) friends. 🖤
When you said about seeing the one on the shelf I could relate. Often I have gone without the intention of buying something, but when I see just one and see online it's sold out virtually everywhere, I buy it!
Yes!!! That was me with the logo bonsai tree!
But not for 3 times the price... I mean, come on...
@@NailArtMom Well no as on the shelf it is typically the price it should be...
Ive bought 4 of them, but mine were only 40$ a piece. My daughters found them amusing but to me they where just messy lol.
This one made me laugh so hard when the smoke was causing ISSUES lol
My daughter wanted one of these but I’ve avoided it because I don’t want to have to find a spot to store the big plastic cauldron but since I’m pretty it’s mainly the idea of making crazy “concoctions” luckily she’s also happy as a lark if I just let her loose with some bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, dishwashing soap, flour and some food colouring (she likes to pretend to be a scientist).
I wonder if the cauldron can be used as a diffuser now. I run one every day, that is how they made the mist. It would be awesome if you could use it that way after the toy popped out.
Having gone ththrough the original Ferbie and then the next lot I think I'd prefer them as they were more interactive. The second generation could be scary and a niece got one that seemed to be taken over by Satan. I think they turned it off for quite awhile.
Mind you they were one of those toys that would turn on for no reason at night and scare the living daylights out of you.
I'm glad that you recovered from the last stage when the mist became toxic. A negative point for me with asthmatics in the family.
They have a magic only mode that doesn't have the mist so that those with breathing issues can safely enjoy the toy too thankfully. Hope that helps!💙
IVE SEEN THIS EVERYWHERE AND I WANT ONE AND I DIDNT KNOW IF IT WAS WORTH IT THANK YOU JACKIE FOR TRYING IT
I got curious & looked online for any homemade recipes for the mist function & found them. Turns out it's partially made from glycerin.
I'd love to see Nerdecrafter try some of these out so folks can see if they actually need to buy the refills or if diy would work.
Jackie you should have tapped it with the front of the wand because it is magnetic😊❤
This creature reminds me of the Furbies in the 90s. They both speak that “alien language” and learn more vocabulary as they age.
Me too!
This was the toy for last Christmas, which meant it was sold out everywhere. Everytime my daughter asked for one I told her I'd try, but probably wouldn't find one. The worst part was that there were so many scalpers selling these for twice the original price
Love you Jackie I'm glad your health seems to be doing better! You have been dropping videos often and I Love it!!
This seems fun, but it also seems expensive and I don’t want my mom, or anyone to buy it for me (even though my b-day is like 6 days away). But I’ll probably play with it for like maybe a week at best, let it be, and come back to it 3-4 years later (that’s how I am for most of my toys) so I don’t want them wasting money.
The magic mix was the best thing I ever got for Christmas out of all Christmas gifts
Jackie: “I wish for more salt”
Mixie: No 👎
🤣
Why Mixie said "no"
No👎
Btw I'm not saying the comments bad I'm just saying what mixie said but didn't say
(That sounds confusing😵)
@@mariacatherinedobles2438 cuz yez 👀👉 😌
Moxie: No, you shal not get salt
Not gonna lie, as someone who loves magic and adored Furbies growing up, I kind of want this!
i got myself one for christmas and absolutely love it! you can even put things in the box to "create" them and they pop up like the doll did, i oddly like the smell of the mist just can't inhale too much lol but overall this is probably the coolest thing i've gotten in a while ♡ loved seeing your thoughts on it!!
When I babysat, the little girl had one of those and you can reset it and buy more of the ‘potions’ I think on amazon. You can also put the furby back in to get the full experience all over again. And you can choose your potions if you reorder them. It was so fun watching her and my daughter play with it.
love this person such a wholesome lady got me through some bad times
My favorite thing about this is that you can use the cauldron over and over, so kids can make up their own little spells and get the magic of the lights and sounds and mist. It's just so stinkin cute, and I wish *all* toys had that kind of extended playability!
Man this toy had me so intrigued back in december, thank you for trying this out. Also you need more 'crash' and 'smash' sounds for when you throw packaging, that would be fun.
Oh my gosh 🤣 Can you imagine if someone animated this episode? It'd be so adorable and hilarious 🤣😭🥰🤣
Seems fun! I like that it has steps, children will have a nice experience with these types of toys, reasonable price too.
I’m turning 9 soon and Santa got me one . It’s one of my favorite toys
I got my son one for christmas and the joy he experienced doing the magic was priceless! I love the toy for that reason ❤❤❤
I love Jackie because lots of us English Grains aren’t allowed to watch TH-cam at 9:00pm as many American TH-camrs post at that time but Jackie posts at a time where We can watch xx
Why aren't you allowed to watch YT at 9:00 pm? 😲
The video will always be here. It’s not like it disappears.
I think it would end up on the shelf, next to the Hatchimal that's gathering dust.
I see a bunch either at thrift stores or in the landfill.
Yea, kids only play with stuff like that for maybe a day..it has limited interaction so kids are bound to get bored fast 😅 Only reason they wouldn’t is if they’re just into dolls..they’d turn it off and just use it like a doll for maybe a year or a few before it gets chucked
I have seen this and thought about buying for my niece. I wanted to do it with her as a bonding kinda thing. She is only 6, so I just knew she would love it. Now, though... I have asthma and dont think it'd be such a good idea. Thank you for this video!
Jackie should try making clay Pokémon!
Gives me hatchimal and furbie vibes but feels like a nice mix. Seems pricey but $50 for an experience like that isn't too bad, although the fog making you cough causes some concern about the effects it is having and it's possible toxicity?
Putting that aside though at least it still interacts once you've 'summoned' your creature. Although is there any further use for the cauldron once you've cast the spell?
It's specifically says on the packaging it's non toxic glycerine that makes the smoke, but however can cause issues for asthmatics if directly inhaled. You can use the cauldron without the smoke feature.
@@aysharowe9492 ah I see, I remember her saying there were 2 play modes and one being smokeless but didn't know what caused the smoke, good to know. Thanks.
Jackie is over dramatic. And coughs at everything
Personally I think furby falls into a separate category. The only "reveal" with the original was it's name. The rest of the toy was meant to kind of be played with for a long time and treated as a pet.
Toys like hatchimal and this thing are built around the reveal. The actual mixie doesn't do much and neither does a hatchimal.
@@strayiggytv true enough. I remember there were lots of games and reactions with a furby whereas this doesn't seem to do as much, it's more the learning aspect that reminded me of the furbys as I remember they were supposed to learn too.
To be honest as much as the reveal is magical and wonderful to a younger child I do find it disappointing just how little the toy does once the reveal is over, especially considering the price. Personally I'd much rather have a furby.
I honestly think, even if I was like 8 or 9 my family wouldn't spend the money for that toy. Seems like a waste of hard earned money, love your video Jackie and welcome back from holiday!!
I saw saw about 25 for sale in my local Target store. They are $99 AUD. Yes I'm in Australia 😂😂
My wish was that you uploaded more craft and unboxing videos. ❤️
Even kmart had them before Christmas for the same price. Yes Australia too! 👋
@@Jasminiag even Toys are us on line still have them. No sure they sold that well over here.
im pretty sure you can get it in multicolour if anyones wondering theres also refill kits on amazon and crystal ball versions
what an adventure unpacking magic mixie
Oh wow Jackie, as much as I enjoyed watching you brewing the mixie, I was rly worried for a second when you coughed so hard.
The water reminds me of when I "cooked" as a child.(all I did was add different types of spices that we didn't use into water. Any one like sprinkle, garlic, and mud pasta?)
This looks like something my daughter would have loved for about 30 mins when she was 6 lol
I can't decide if I want to get this for myself or for my blind sister would freaking adore it...
Hey Jackie! When I got a magic mixie my animal didn’t work so I didn’t get this experience and I’m great full that u reviewed this!
That little creature is so cute!! I think I'd buy myself one just for the experience of the mixing in the cauldron & the toy, but I don't think I can justify spending that much for it. Definitely really cute though! I've seen it here in the US anywhere between about $55 - $60.
As a little grain I 100% would have loved this! My mother would have never allowed this "witchcraft" in the house. It didn't stop me from mixing "potions" outside though
That first one was really intricate. Makes me wanna do ityself, smell or not! 🤩
Edit: would be even better if I could reuse that cauldron.
You can! You can reset it and play with your own ingredients around the house. I would have loved filling this with stuff from the yard and the woods around my house when I was I a kid!
Is there a frustration free package option? I've never actually got anything in frustration free packaging even when it's specified
I watched another person review this toy and I would give 2 things.
1. The thing seems to be time sensitive at times do you gotta go fast if you wanna do everything before the mist shows up
2. The other person I watched also had an experience where her fire alarm went off because of the toy. If it's a home alarm it will make noise, if it's connected to the fire department(unlikely but possible), basically, you pay a lot more money than what is expected. Yes the toy does use glycerin for the mist. Its on the warning label. DO THE TOY OUTSIDE IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR FIRE ALARM GOING OFF OR FOR YOUR LUNGS TO BE HIT.
Thank you very much.
Haha so hyped to see you unboxing one of these in our sub box!!
I've already been watching a bunch of vids of it on youtube, so feels great to have one delivered directly to me without having to go hunt for it >u<
- p.s i am Steph (surprising, i know!)
I hope you do a video on it too
Officially not surprised- give Huggos to adamo
I don't know if somebody has mentioned this yet, but you can also reuse the cauldron and even hide surprises inside
Um yeah you can put water in it again and I’ll make bubbling sounds and still have the lights and it’ll do the tap tap thing but you can’t put anything else in it or else it might break i mean according to the instructions
I love how she said ok it’s not working: as she continues to slap it with the wand
Thank you so much for this. My kids came asking for these and now I know its a cross between a furby and a magic 8-ball
Jackie: "Now you make a wish"
Me: "I wish for a million friends in rec room"
Jackie: "And it's a yes"
Me: "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" *Knocks over lamp*
I love all the little noises they make. It's like a furby but not as terrifying 😂
I love how Jackie refers herself in the 3rd person when she talks about SaltECrafter!
Huh I've never heard of this before. Looks cute. I always look forward to your videos during the week. Hope you're doing well!
I got it when the trend started, if you mess it up it’s fine. You can redo it, you can just add water instead of the stuff and put your own prizes in the compartment on the bottom!
Jacky : panics
Also Jacky : " I dub thee pumpernickel 😂
I’m concerned why Toys R Us is selling this for the price resellers sold it on EBay. It’s $60 USD so should be around 75 Canadian Dollars right?
Love your videos.
My cousins wanted this for xmas but everyone in the family was totally convinced it was cheap plastic rubbish. I have to agree.
Me: enjoying the most
Also my athsmatic ass: I feel you Jackie.
I lost it at "I dub thee Pumpernickel! " 😂😂😂
So about the colour there is blue,pink which are the same characters but different colours and there is also a multicoloured one which there are 2 different characters you can get but same colour!
Wait I am so sorry but yes you can get different animals for all I just found that out.
Hi Jackie! I'm a huge fan, me and my dad watch every video. I hope sika is okay! Lovely content and keep up the good work
Love gia 💜
Watching Jackie torture herself getting stuff from Tiktok is the best thing to do 😌
12 minutes in and I’m so thankful for this video! I was thinking about getting this for my daughter as she’s been asking for it but wasn’t sure.. now I know I’m definitely not getting it because she has severe asthma so this would cause an attack. Sorry you had to deal with that in an enclosed space 😬
I saw another comment say that there is a way to turn the smoke off, so I would check up on that if you still want to buy it for her. :)
In the video it does show an on and off smoke button in the back. I think it was called Spell mode? Still wouldn't risk it probably, but its there
My daughter got hers today for Christmas and she was so happy to have one that was like yours but pink. She named it Cat and when we were making it she warned her grandma to stand back because the mist smells bad. Thank you for the review and for being so kind.
P.s. she also got the Super Not Another Crap Kit and is so excited to make a figure
I’m gotta say that was cool it’s crazy how far toys have come…u gotta remember cauldrons are not supposed to smell like flowers and rainbows 🌚
By giving you two reds in a row, it did actually make your salt level go up! 🤣 As someone with asthma I felt so bad when the fog was so bad. It’s cute for sure, but at its price level it isn’t something I’d get for my nieces or nephews.
There’s a mode to turn off the smoke for people sensitive to that stuff apparently! which is really neat :)
I feel like you and Canadian TH-camr NexJex would get along pretty good. She does toy reviews (for the people buying the toy/collectable)and crafts. This video reminded me of her review of this product. Also thank you for being Awesome!
I think they do know eachother, though perhaps have not met in person. I agree that they would probably get along well!
I love the viral Tik Tok trends vids. You rock Jackie!
I can hypothesise that the little bags contain the things as followed:
#2: a mix of Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid (or basically, ingredients for bath bombs, minus the oil because it's not pressed).
#3: I don't really know what that could be. In another video, I heard it might be something like soap flakes?
#4: the feather is obviously a printed wafer of sorts.
#5: could be a bath bomb, but without citric acid.
#6: yeah.... I have no idea what that stuff is.
The mist is an atomiser.
In all, definitely NOT worth 150$. It could be worth 50$ (Canadian dollars), at most, but even that would be expensive.
Lets face it, it basically consisted of throwing useless junk together in water and non of it did anything worthwhile.
