Customer feedback is mixed on quality, with some finding the set disappointing, and on whether it is kid-friendly, including a report that it can be hard for a child to use. That matters for a set whose play depends on turning a grinder and manipulating compound. Aggregate ratings lean toward five-star responses but also include lower ratings, so they do not resolve those concerns.
