From the Manufacturer
The My Meebas™ game is a new electronics toy from Mattel® that combines compelling, quirky game play with an unbelievable plush surprise on the inside. My Meebas™ comes in four uniquely colored tubes, each representing a special My Meebas™ attribute: Intelligence, Love, Friendship, and Happiness. Each game tube has a sliding LCD screen with three game play buttons that allow a girl to see “inside” the game tube and follow the progression of My Meebas™. She helps it “grow” by playing various games and activities. The more time she spends playing with My Meebas,™ the faster it “grows”. Once My Meebas™ is fully “grown”, and not a moment before, the game tube will pop open and the soft, plush My Meebas™ can be taken out. Each My Meebas™ plush will be the same shape as the fully “grown” My Meebas™ on the screen, but the colors and material will only be revealed once the game tubes are opened. Each tube sold separately, subject to availability. Plush toys not sold individually. Colors and decorations may vary.

WARNING! VERY MISLEADING!
First off, I am on my mom's account, and I am the one who bought the My Meeba, and raised it, and I will say again, website, package, ect, it VERY MISLEADING! Number one, they say 20+ games and activities, well threw the WHOLE game there are only really 9 games, and you can only play 1-3 in any given stage! They count the little animations as "games and activities" which are just watched, and are 20 seconds long at most! Second, there is really 8 stages of growth, not 7. Also, you know that chart that comes with the toy, dont get all "oh, I want that one"! becuase the colors, and shapes are NOT what they are on that chart! My Meeba (although VERY cute, and I love it) is a star shaped, blue camo, which is not on the chart AT ALL! Number three, I and my whole family where VERY anoyed by the fact that the sound DOES NOT go down or off, and the sound is to loud anyway.

Now, the good stuff! Of the 9 games on there, most games are fun, although every stage of change you get a new game, and the old one is GONE until the final stage! And two games always stay with you, in every stage, and in mine, they wenrt even the funner ones so..... I LOVE my pet that came out, he's perfact! Moving the screen around is very fun, although for about 2 days MY screen was not working right, and the Meeba would not move, but it eventually went back to normal.

Bottom line, there is really nothing to do on a My Meebas expect playing a few minute long games, and watching cute little actions by the Meeba. This toy would be AMAZING for 10 dollars, not the 20-30 there priced at! Mattel thinks just becuase you get a random 5 inch plush they can charge an extra 15 bucks! Overall, I give it 3 stars.

Not enough bang for the money
Let me start this by saying that my daughter LOVED this. She talked about it, was excited about it, really obsessed with it. She couldn't wait for the little toy to come out and spent a lot of time between when she bought it and when the toy came out thinking about which one it would be.
Unfortunately, that isn't much time, and that's my problem with this toy. We purchased it from KMart at 5 pm, she played it for approximately 45 minutes in the car on the way home. She then played it for about 20 minutes the next morning and then about 30 minutes after school. That's when the toy came out.
After the toy emerges, the packaging clearly states, the electronic game has "limited play value." So for 19.99, my daughter got less than two hours of play from it. She does have the little stuffed animal, but hasn't played with the electronic game part for more than 10 minutes since it opened. The stuffed animal is small and appears cheaply made. It has the appearance of one of the "small prizes" you might win at a fair game. I haven't seen it either since the day she got it.
Whoever came up with this is a marketing genius, however. You choose from several colors of Meeba canisters and within each canister color range, there are several possible Meebas that can emerge. So your child can't pick which animal she will get: it's random luck. My luck, my daughter didn't get any of the the Meebas she wanted so of course, she wants another one of these.
I would not recommend this to others for two reasons: limited play time for the amount of money spent and there is a chance that your child will be disappointed in the toy that comes out and start asking for another. I do not plan on buying any more of these.
I am giving it two stars based on how into it she was before it opened.

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH 'BANG FOR THE BUCK!'
Bought one of these for each of my daughters ages, 6, 8 and 10. Took each of them about 3 hours of pretty consistent playing to complete all the levels and the things each opened. Cute little plush comes out and they were excited. They had alot fun and enjoyed the suspense of what critter they would get and the plush is cute BUT...now the thing is basically useless. It does not relock to play again just opens with the press of a button. And, the digital part doesn't play hardly anything any longer. I now see in the instructions only found inside the packaging to be read after purchase, that it says "limited game play after plush evolves". Well, that is certainly true. Should be more like "just throw it away when the plush comes out because it doesn't do ANYTHING!". So, basically you pay for 3 hours of digital entertainment and a very small plush for $20.00! Would have been a great toy had they made it more challenging, sold it for half the price, or even if it had the ability to be able to relock with some code so a parent could hide surprises back in it to play again or siblings could put in surprises for eachother. Great fun but too short a time of enjoyment, definately overpriced. So sad, could have been great. All of us parents need to band together and keep up he reviews so that we can save eachother some money! Thanks!
