I ordered the duck ball over a year ago for my son and am amazed that he is actually not broken apart. I must confess that I formally on hope that the real thick adhesive edges dissolve, but knock on wood - so far he thinks, even though he managed almost exclusively cast, rather than rolled. What possibly also because of the fact that my son was a real fan of this ball never and it is accordingly not often used. The duck I find working carelessly. And I would also be no (small) child unobserved play with this ball, because I do not really trust the said adhesive edges. Of course, but you should not ignore the fact that the ball does not even cost 10 euros and so seen the price-performance ratio is already acceptable also.
