How is flying fish

To power the console using ordinary finger batteries. The inflatable model itself has a battery that is recharged with a charger. It is included with the product.
Toy assembly
The toy comes unassembled. It will take some time to assemble it, 30-60 minutes. But this process is not particularly difficult for an adult if you act in accordance with the attached instructions or familiarize yourself with the video on the Internet. For balancing, special plastic inserts are used that are glued to the surface of the inflatable figure. This is necessary so that it does not rise too high up on its own due to the helium with which it is filled, and does not fall unnecessarily. The amount of such a load must be reduced over time, since the helium inside the product gradually loses its properties and initially glued plastic will pull the toy down.
