Super easy to put together and my 13 yr old son thinks it looks really cool on his desk. Love it.

Okay, no one NEEDS a hovering football helmet, but it's pretty cool. I keep it on my desk at work and now spend a good part of the day watching it spin. It's fun to see how long it will spin once you start it going - two weeks is the longest we've gone so far without touching it. It's also fun to try to make it hover completely still, which is more difficult. It prefers to rock a little or spin. I purchased the University of Michigan version (GO BLUE!). Knock off one star because the shade of yellow on the helmet is slightly off, a little pale and less golden than the real maize helmets. The photo on amazon is true to how it looks in real life. The helmet is smaller than I expected. I think the description calls it a half size replica, but it seems smaller than that. Note it has to be plugged in to hover.

Very nice product with one major flaw. Overall, well made and looks good, but in order to get the helmet to "float", it needs to be plugged in. When plugged in, the lights go on and there is NO SWITCH TO TURN THEM OFF. So, I wanted to use this in a bedroom but the light is too. bright for sleeping. Why not a switch for the light? So easy to design and implement. Shame.

Can't believe how cool this turned out to be! This is a must-have - it's seriously the perfect gift for college football fans... (Go Cougs!)

It looked like an awesome idea from the product page, but I was worried about how it would actually turn out - so I ordered one to see... and I was blown away. It's AWESOME, and a must-have for fans. For starters, it's legit - the helmet is an authentic (be it miniature) replica of a real helmet; it's got all the pads a full-size helmet has, a metal facemask, etc., and it's heavy/sturdy; it feels like the real thing. Really caught me off guard with the quality there - and I expected it to be smaller than it actually is, so I was pleasantly surprised (it's the perfect size for a desk or your shrine; does not look/feel cheap).

The levitation of the helmet is for real, thanks to a crafty electromagnet (just plug it in); and it's a piece of cake to set up. Again, way better than I expected. The LED lights add the perfect touch. My co-workers that are Cougar fans are jealous, those that root for rival schools are offended (another big plus in my book), and all of us have had fun trying to get the perfect amount of spin on the helmet as it levitates (because naturally, everyone wants to touch it and inspect it so we have to get it rotating again). Only "con" I can think of is how much time me/my co-workers have spent playing with it - but honestly that's more fun than anything.

As soon as I had set it up and saw how cool it is, I immediately got my brother to order one, and picked up a couple more as gifts. I don't often do reviews, but I'm that impressed. I highly recommend this to real college football fans, young and old alike.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is almost unbelievable. It works exactly as described, see video. It is really easy to setup. The first time you hover it, it may be a little wobbly. Just add a touch of spin and it'll smooth out Sure, it's just an ornament, but it's a super cool one and a conversation piece. I did get the case for it, its a no Brainer as everyone wants to touch it. And it looks spectacular in the dark. A must have for the sports fan in your life
