Cheap plastic, best novelty and fun toy

I love View Master and have been using it since the 70's. I was excited to get this master viewer for my youngest kids. I was shocked by this quality. It's like a cheap plastic shop, which I didn't expect from a well-known brand. Image quality is ok. I'm keeping it because it really works and I don't have another one, but I'm disappointed that it's so cheaply made. The included slides are great and just like my 70's collection.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Minor problems

Not the same as the original

This viewfinder is pretty cool and even acceptable for its price, but its mechanics and plastic are a bit inferior to the original viewfinder. This is a pretty cool way to get it at an affordable price. Just note that the original may cost more for some reason. I expect my almost 5 year old son to break this thing within a year. I hope I'm wrong. It also seems that older viewfinders have more frames on disk. I may be wrong as it has been several decades since I held it in my hands. However, I…

Slightly better as a kid

Not as durable as I remembered as a kid but expected the same. Sometimes images get stuck even if you click slowly and carefully, requiring a double click. The foils are thin and bend easily. I remember they were thicker. Collects dust inside, but that can be unavoidable. I wish it had more than two slides. The underwater theme has always been my favorite but I think it needs to be purchased separately. Overall not a bad buy. The photos are full of details that catch the eye. Didn't entertain…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some bugs

My kid loves it Novelty & Gag Toys

All those negative reviews are meaningless. Yeah, it's not like when we were kids. Sure, it's not pure iron or coated in toxic lead paint, but it works and is light enough for a 2.5 year old. My son can pull out and swap the coils himself, lift them to his head and use the lever to switch pictures. He was very happy with this product. Besides, it's still plastic. he dropped it on my wooden floor 4-5 times and it still works and has no damage. I recommend this if you're buying for kids. The only

Very cheaply made, not like the old ones, doesn't work well

I loved my Viewmaster as a kid. I bought this for my daughter and it's a piece of junk compared to my old one. Discs get stuck easily and often. You keep pressing the button even when everything is aligned and the images don't advance. This includes taking great care to ensure that the first image is properly aligned and that you fully engage the lever. In addition, windows get stuck in the car. It is very difficult to get them out. Once you take out a disc, it's difficult to put in the next…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • There are downsides
