Buy at Walmart not online...4
Just a quick heads up for anyone who is considering buying this product...I bought it today at Walmart for only $9.00. SO save the extra cash and go out and get this one in the store. My son loves it. He is only two and I let him play with it with supervision so that I know he's not pulling off the foam protectors. Hope this helped someone.

AVOID - Not durable, doesn't stand up, doesn't stay together1
ToyQuest should be one of two things - 1) embarrassed by how shoddy this product is, or 2) proud that it suckered someone into buying it.

For starters, when you open the sealed, plastic container, it stinks like something REALLY toxic. I don't recommend inhaling for a minute or so.

Then when you open it up and look at it, it's about HALF as long as the picture on the front suggests it is. (The box cover's image is a TOTAL LIE. It has a Photoshopped image on the front of the box with a seemingly 30 foot, plastic python that has like 45 or more heads on it. In reality, it's only 12' long (if that). It only has 15 heads and a tiny diamter, despite the image's misrepresentations and the text claim that it's "HUGE". My older son spotted this fraud immediately).

Secondly, the blue (they're orange in the Amazon picture) 3"-4" diameter bases that are supposed to hold it upright in the right position don't snap together right. After fighting with it for a minute, I taped them together with masking tape just so they could use this toy. (I suppose you could super glue them together, but why should I have to do this at all? It should just work.)

Thirdly, those 3"-4" bases are hollow plastic. They aren't heavy enough to hold the toy's arms straight up in the air when the water is turned on, so I had to stake them into the ground with aluminum tent stakes (this partially fixed the problem).

Then, after all of this extra work, we turned it on... and... it kind of worked - for 1 minute. Then a head came off. After 5 minutes of operation, TWO of the snake arm's heads (the plastic pieces which cut down the stream size) had already popped off. Those two snakes looked like they were taking a leak with a 1' stream of water, vs. a thin stream like the others... (No, my home's water pressure isn't too high.)

The only positive: My sons are outside, right now, trying to tinker with it and make it work right with various objects and water pressures, so I guess from a hands-on engineering experience my sons are learning about fluid dynamics and physics... but that's not why we got this toy..

Bottom line: Do NOT buy it. For even my skeptical, "This is from Wal-Mart, so don't expect much..." attitude, this toy managed to impress me by how BAD it was. This toy is so bad, it makes getting a haircut sound like good summer fun to an eight year old.

Recovery steps for all who bought "into the hype" and don't have a receipt to return it: After you're done cursing ever having bought it, deposit this one use, POS in your recycle bin (it's almost all plastic, so do the Earth a favor and don't make her chew on this insult to children everywhere for eternity). Go to the gardening section of your local hardware store and buy a real sprinkler. Take it home, hook it up where the Banzai joke had been, and turn it on. It will be 100x more satisfying than what my kids are going through right now.

Your toy sucks, ToyQuest (and so do the manufacturers in China who actually made this toxic, flaccid joke)...

broke after 2 uses2
I also bought this at walmart, after my kids used it twice one of the wiggly hoses came off and it wouldn't work anymore. We weren't too thrilled with it in the first place, as it's hard to get it to sit flat so the wiggly hoses move right.
