Expanded researched review

A dance game that lets the grown-up join in

Automatic music stops remove the need for someone to operate a phone during Musical Statues. With four built-in songs, the boombox is an easy prompt for a short shared movement game, rather than a broad music library. The familiar Bluey theme helps only if the recipient likes that world.

Best fit: Everyone wants to move and freeze, and repeated songs will be welcome.
Before buying: Only four built-in songs, so repetition comes quickly. Requires 3 AA batteries; clear a safe dancing area.

A closer look at the trade-offs

The trade-off

The Junior DJ Mixer lets the child create and save music; the Bluey and Bingo plush pair supports quiet character stories. Choose the boombox when everyone wants to move and freeze, and repeated songs will be welcome.

Living with it & the first play session

After the wrapping comes off

No. Game Mode automatically starts and stops the music for Musical Statues. Music Mode plays the built-in songs.

Freeze in a different animal pose whenever the music stops.
