LOL Big Surprise ripped apart in mum’s scathing online review of £60 ‘must-have’ Christmas toy
A MUM has taken to social media to ridicule one of this year's 'must-have' Christmas toys.
Livid Ciara Umar bought the £59.99 LOL Big Surprise for her daughter Olivia as an early festive treat following the hype surrounding the original sized toy.
The mega limited edition version boasts 50 gifts in each ball.
However, Ciara, who is self-employed, issued a scathing review on Facebook after being left unimpressed by the contents.
Posting on Facebook the 27-year-old wrote: "So Elisa got the big lol surprise today I would definitely not recommend if you don't want to waste your money the pic on the right is all you get just pre warning yas."
Her post has been shared over 7,000 times and has racked up over 10,000 comments from other parents.
Agreeing with the mum-of-one a Facebook user wrote: "Oh my god that's terrible! How can they justify the price! Definitely won't be getting one if that's all u get."
Others failed to be put off by the as another posted: " There is a lot more you get with it, for starters you haven't done any of the fizz bombs yet which have things inside."
Ciara told : "I was mortified when I saw the contents.
"It's an absolute waste of money, it's not even a full ball either, it's only half a ball as the back is flat."
Since its release in March the LOL Surprise ball has sold over half a million of the toys in the UK alone.
A range of toys, clothes and accessories are packed into the toy for kids to unwrap. Some surprises are even hidden in bath bombs which have to be dunked in water to reveal the toys.
MGA Entertainment said: "LOL Surprise is currently the best-selling toy in the UK and a number of other countries. Prices range from £5.99 for the LOL Tots to £59.99 for the Big Surprise.
"The LOL Big Surprise contains 50 exclusive surprises that can’t be found in other LOL products which individually are valued higher than the total RRP."
