Need fan motor for gemmy
Hi, unfortunately Gemmy Industries does not sell replacement motors for their inflatable products. However, motors can be purchased at www.holidayinflatablestore.com. Although Gemmy cannot provide any support to assist you in the process, Gemmy understand that collectors of the product have been able to take care of their replacement needs by purchasing older, inexpensive units from E-bay and then transferring the parts to the newer model.

Scientific Toys train won't run
WELL WHERE EVER YOU BOUT IT FROM YOU SHOULD TRY TAKING IT BACK THERE AND GETTING THEM TO LOOK AT IT,TAKE IT TO THE SHOP,OR BUY A NEW ONE. :)
Any way you can change
If this is one of the original dogs you will need a T6 Torx Screwdriver and 3 A76 button cell batteries (I was told that Energizer 357 batteries are a substitute but they were just a bit to wide and I had to file down the battery well to make them fit). Once you have the Screwdriver and batteries you will need to carefully cut the stitches on the back of the toy, move the stuffing and pull out a small mesh bag that has the voice box inside. Cut the bag and remove the box. Remove the screws, open the box and gently pry up the circuit board so you can remove the dead batteries (paying careful attention to which way they go in). Replace with new batteries, replace the circuit board and push the sliver "button" in the middle of the circuit board several times. If all well then each with each push of the button you will hear it speak. If it does not speak be sure all of the batteries are lined up the same way the original batteries were and try again. Hopefully it is working again and you can finish up by putting the top back on and replacing the screws. Then put the box back into the bag, put the bag back into the dog and sew it up. If that did not fix the problem then you are where I am, which is looking for more help!
D-rex dinosaur doesn't walk
Looks like anyone with a defective d-rex is out of luck. Bought mine at a thrift store cheap, without the remote. It did show some signs of life when I put batteries in it so I started looking for a remote. I only found them on eBay where people were asking as much as $100 for one. I finally settled on one for about $40 hoping that was all I needed. It lights up when I push the buttons but the d-rex doesn’t respond now, in fact it doesn’t show any signs of life now when I put good batteries in and turn it on. I’m pretty mechanically inclined, so I might try fixing it but that will require surgically removing the skin and hoping I can get it back on when I’m done. I’d love to hear from anyone else who’s tried it.
How do I extend the gemmmy singing Santa Claus to full height?
To extend the height of your Gemmy Singing Santa Claus, you can follow these instructions:
Carefully remove the product from its packaging and unpack all contents.
Lay the figure on its back and locate the locking pins underneath the figure base. Turn pins counterclockwise to unlock. Remove pins and retain for later use. Pins are used to secure figure in compacted position for storage purposes only.
After pins have been removed, return figure to upright position. Place on a stable, secure, and flat surface.
Gently press down on figure's shoulders and then slowly guide body upward to full standing position. Do not press down and release without holding the figure's shoulders.
The figure's head is located under the body, it will be revealed once you guide the body to full standing position. Attach the figure's head by aligning the groove and setting in place. Make sure the latch locks the head in place.
Pose arms in desired position.
Adjust volume control to desired level.
Please note that these instructions are for a general Gemmy animated holiday figure 1. If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding your product, please visit www.gemmy.com for customer guidance or contact Gemmy at 1-800-231-6879 .

Little Tikes (vintage) Ride-On Train doesn't drive forward?
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks category.
If it runs backwards, then the problem but be the forwarding part of the controller. Usually your local Model Shop will know a repairer, or they might undertake it themselves.

Bratz secret safe won't open
Hello, the lock mechanism on this gets hard to rotate after a while. You need to reset you safe by holding a toothpick on the reset button for 20 seconds. Then press the password of B R A T Z and the Angel Halo button. Then proceed to twist and pull on the safe dial until you loosen it enough to open. This can be done with your hands, you don't need a tool. Just keep working at it.
