OllyballDallas Mavericks NBA Team Edition - Patented Award Winning Colorable Indoor Play Ball

This thing is awesome. It is also a lot stronger and more durable than I thought it would be. My 3 children can destroy most toys pretty easily, but I am happy to say this ball has withstood the test of time. It’s easily refillable too. Great product.

This ball came shipped in a flat package and you will need to inflate the ball. Instructions are provided and you use a straw to inflate. Then you need to fold the valve into the ball.The inflation was a bit difficult, but once you do it, the ball holds air well and you can refill as needed. The ball is soft and will should break windows as advertised.The ball itself is non-marking, but if you decorate the ball with markers or crayons, then those marks can come off the ball onto a wall--so kind of self-defeating there.I wish there were more choices besides the Dallas Mavericks, but that is the one I received for a review.I like the Olly ball, but I wouldn't pay the full listed price for one. This would make a great gift for those rowdy 5-7 year olds to play in the house. But keep in mind that just because it won't break anything directly, it can still knock stuff over and break them!

Product wasn't worth the money. Didn't stayed aired up, difficult to inflate

I really didn't know what to expect when I ordered this ball but I was intrigued by it being named Toy of the Year.When I received the ball it arrived in a flat, approximately 9"x7", package. I was wondering how hard this was going to be to inflate. I read and followed the included instructions. Crunching up the ball twice during the inflation process is apparently very important. It took quite a few breaths to fill the ball. Once the ball is inflated the direction is to fold the valve over itself and tuck it inside of the flap. At first I just couldn't get the valve folded over itself and tucked into the ball without loosing a whole bunch of air. I tried over and over again with the same result...almost immediate deflation. Finally I decided to check online and found a video on YouTube. Apparently the secret is to remove the straw before folding the valve over itself and tucking it in to the ball. Since I did this my ball has stayed fully inflated for over an hour.This ball is very unique and I believe kids will have fun not only playing with it but also coloring the design on the outer shell.

This ball has provided tons of fun for my kiddos! It truly is a ball they can play in the house. It isn’t silent, as it makes a louder noise when hit like a volleyball, but is so soft it doesn’t really do any damage. Can draw on it with markers too! Such a fun indoor ball.

I admittedly didn't know what this was when I ordered and I expected something totally different than what I received.....But we love this thing, the kids can color as they please and it holds air well and I don't care if it hits the wall. This is an amazing toy and we want more. A+++

The "balloon" that you inflate inside was kind of hard to figure out how to assemble. The "paper" cover that you color is very thin and would tear very easily. Also, there wasn't very clear instructions on how to put it together.

The media could not be loaded. Product arrived in perfect condition. I actually walked in the house actually while my kids were playing with it next to the TV. I told them to stop but my wife said it was okay and that there’d be no way it would hurt anything. It’s basically a balloon with a nice cover, but you can beat it up without worrying about whether it will burst. It moves through the air well and the kids love it. Easy to inflate, but I did knock it a star just because it loses its air over the course of a few days, necessitating more frequent pumping than someone might care for. Honestly, that might be worth the peace of mind that this thing acts like a beach ball but won’t damage your interior. At $19 it might be a bit pricier than warranted.
