Simply ADORABLE!
Arrived in one piece (I was concerned because of other reviews that had broken heads). Battery was already charged so I was able to take it into the hall bath, to make sure all turtles light up, they did. One turtle had a bead of silicone on the shell that I was able to pick off. It was about the size of a BB. However if you have ever worked w/ silicone that's not bad (that stuff is mess-y, LOL). Paint job is good but not awesome, but most times they aren't in yard ornaments. Almost all of my yard ornaments have had to be repainted in 6 months - 1 year, no matter the brand, material or where I make the purchase. Smaller than stated, but I expected it because of other reviews that stated such. I am uploading images of the measurements, close ups of the faces and it glowing in my darkened bathroom. Once I have it set up where I'm placing them I will add that photo as well (working on that area now). As I do w/ most my reviews, I will update as time goes by, good or bad. April of 2014 - Turtles continue to light up nightly even after a year of being in the weather. Have yet to change the batteries. These poor turtles have had a time of it, from being knocked into the pond by squirrels and being submerged for several hours. Said squirrels also knocked it over several more times. Recently, because of becoming brittle from the weather ... when the dastardly squirrels knocked it over AGAIN 2 of the shells had pieces broken out of them. I figured they would stop working w/ all the rain we have been getting the past year and the holes in the shells, but NOPE they still faithfully glow almost all night long. The paint has faded as I expected. I will order a new one when the price drops again. I may repaint the old onnes and move them into the house in my kitchen window when I do.
