| | |  | Sing A Ma Jigs | Home » » Mattel The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Dark Purple | | | | | | | Description: | | For kids, and kids at heart, The Sing-a-ma-jigs are free-spirited, offbeat characters that set off unexpected laugher and excitement with every interaction. Their zany looks are unique to them and when they sing you can't resist when their little mouths open wide for each note. Every Sing-a-ma-jig has three modes of play where they chatter, sing their own song, or sing in harmony with their other Sing-a-ma-jig friends. In chatter mode they speak their own language full of jibber and jabbers. For their own take on musical tunes just try song mode where you control the pace of the song. But, the Sing-a-ma-jigs enjoy nothing more than singing together. In harmonizing mode each Sing-a-ma-jig sings a scale in a pitch specific to that character (some high, some low.) and will always harmonize with each other perfectly every time. The more you collect, the larger the chorus, the better they sound. | | | Features: | |

Which sing-a-ma jigs should you get? This one's a good choice.Jan 19, 2011
By J. Lee
"imajeel"
The big dilemma on these, initially for me, was which ones to choose. You'll probably want more than one - since half the fun is "playing them" together so they harmonize. (Note: they harmonize singing different songs - so it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.) Anyway, below I've provided a breakdown on the various ones and why I liked this one out of those purchased.
As a pure review of the toy in general: Originally I was attracted to these for my just turned six year old niece because they reminded me of some sort of mad mash between a singing stuffed Barney dinosaur teddy bear and Mr. Bill of SNL fame. Either way, my niece, her friends, I, her parents and pretty much everyone else couldn't resist them. The three I purchased all came w/ worn down batteries that had to be replaced before they could sing the song. (I suspect an employee couldn't resist playing them at the store before they made them to us:)
Dark Purple is a fave, not only because the color has a natural appeal w/ pre-school princesses but it also can harmonizes both low and high (some are just high and some just low). The song is "My Darling Clementine" - which also oddly turned out to be a fave (given that her tastes run more towards Justin Beiber's "Baby")
Here's the other ones song choices/harmonizing options:
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Mint Green- It's raining, it's pouring
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Light Blue- For he's a jolly good fellow (don't know why they chose that song)
Fisher-Price The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Blue/Teal - When the Saints go marching in (might fit a house w/ NO Saints Fans)
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Purple/Regular Purple - Oh Susanna! (I think purple models are the for harmonizing)
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Orange- On top of old smokey (One of my faves)
Original Red - Where has my little dog gone?
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - Hot PinkHot Pink - A tisket, a tasket
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs - PinkPink - Skip to my Lou
Original Yellow - Home on the range
New Yellow- This little light of mine
New Red - Yankee Doodle
BOTTOM LINE: 4 - 4.5 stars - whichever of these you choose to fit your taste they're bound to get giggles of all ages. As a more lasting gift, I think about 3-6 is the real age range for them.

Watch for defective songDec 03, 2010
By Dream Sewer

Be sure you try playing the song all the way through (Clementine) before giving as a gift. The first I received had two of the words missing. I just received a replacement with the same defect. However, I saw these in a local store and tried them out. Some worked fine, others had the same defect. They're so much fun we're having a blast. Its too bad there's a glitch in production - otherwise this is a great toy.

 Too Cute! Better as a GroupMar 16, 2011
By K. Groh
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3NJKKD6S2WID6 My six-year-old daughter and I were at another store when we first saw these. Her music teacher has some in her classroom so my daughter was familiar with them. I am late to the party on these but fell in love right away.
They are funny looking stuffed animals that in and of themselves, aren't much to look at. But when you squeeze their belly, you can't help but smile. They each have an set of 5 notes that they sing as well as a gibberish talk and a song specific to the color of the Sing-a-ma-jig.
This one sings Clementine. Granted, their singing is in a very stilted, one syllable at a time style but they are still fun to listen to. Their shirts are held on by Velcro so they can be swapped out with other Sing-a-ma-jigs.
The problem is that once you have one, they need company. They are best in groups when they can harmonize with each other. When they sing as a group, (notes, not songs) they seem to be a child's barbershop quartet of harmony. It is fun listening to how they best go together (lowest note all together or mix them up?). The choice is yours to play around and find that combination that makes them sound perfect together.
Their little terry cloth mouths open into a big 'O' when they sing showing off their little white teeth inside.
They seem like such a nothing toy but they are really the kind of thing that puts a smile on your face when you need it most.

Funniest Toy EverDec 06, 2010
By Cindy
My sister bought my 1 year-old grandson a yellow Sing-a-Ma-Jig for his birthday and he loves it (so do the adults)! The more you play with it, the more you find what it can do. When not played with for a while Sing-a-Ma-Jig will sign off; his yellow one says "See Ya Later" it does not matter what he is doing this always makes him laugh. I decided to get the purple one as a Christmas gift, I want to hear them harmonize together.

This is so funDec 04, 2010
By Amelia
I purchased pink, yellow, and purple. Purple is my favorite. Each color sings a different song so keep that in mind when making your selection. The mouth moves with each note, but it is not a pinch hazard. It is very soft. I love it! It has three modes so if you child can not carry the song along it is still so much fun.
