Love the Ghost! February 20, 2011
Reviewer: solder_guy from Atlanta, GA United States  
Nice kit which features LED lights, sound and motion!  The instructions are clear and the kit is easy to make.

I suggest using strong glue to hold the speaker in place,  sew the edges of the white sheet to keep it from getting frayed, use sturdy paper clip wire to make the hoops, and use a string to hang the ghost from a hook in mid air.  Also adjust the microphone sensitivity to get the maximum response from sound.

Everybody at the office and home loves the ghost!

Cute kit; a bit gimmicky December 5, 2009
Reviewer: Stefan Jones from Hillsboro, OR United States  
I bought two ghosts, thinking to use them as gifts.

One has a problem. His eyes don't blink. Still trying to find out why.

The other works fine. His eyes blink, he makes hissing noises or plays funeral music, and occasionally vibrates. It's cute, but not scary or impressive.

The instructions are adequate. The kit is from Belgium, as best I can tell, and was built for a wide audience. Most of the instructions are via illustrations, with just a few English and German (?) labels. I had no problem figuring out, but novices might need some help.

The physical design could be better. The ghost's white handkerchief shroud doesn't drape well, and it is held away from the rotating vibrator bar by a fragile "hoop" that must be painstakingly soldered together from five lengths of component lead wire.
