Schylling PANIC PETE SQUEEZE TOY

Adorable. I got it to use in my car for road rage! I squeeze him instead of blowing the horn!

Classic toy that gives you something to mess with and squeeze when you have anxiety. I've had it for 6ish months now and havent had any issues with eyes not popping out or it breaking like some other reviews.

I bought him as a gag gift for one of my kiddos and found all my kiddos ages 2-9 love taking their stress out on this little guy! Thankfully he holds up well (a lot better than this poor mom!) His cheerful demeanor and hard plastic eyes withstand my toddlers constant eye poking and pulling as if he is enjoying the torture (at least his eye doesn’t get scratched by the claws of a toddler). He enjoys the throwing and has occasionally been licked by our dog (dog didn’t seem interested but our dog has a pretty stress free life). I wouldn’t gift this to my husband as I think he would try to find a way to destroy it.. the kids destroyed the box it came in so poor Mr. Pete sits on my shelf to relax until I toss him in the mosh pit of my children to devour and he gladly does each day with his little smile and shiny plastic blue eyes!

I love him

The kids love this one but... Only his ears pop out. The eyes and the ears popped out in the old ones. The eyes stretch out a bit but they don't pop.

A fan favorite at out home, unfortunately after 5 years he sprung a leak, but it held up pretty well for a long time.

You know, I review just about everything I get from Amazon, and I was going to pass on this one (for what do you really say about a squeeze Panic Pete)? But then I thought of the reason I got two and how important the reason, I decided to write one. My 10 year old son is a gamer...when he is playing one handed, his other hand stays busy on various items - the problem is one of the most resent items were a very expensive pair of headphones I let him use. But he did not use them as headphones...he used them to occupy his fidgeting hand. In a short time, the headphones were turned to scrap. Out went $200.00. Next he was playing with a Leatherman I gave him for camping...you, you guessed it, he broke it (did not even think you could breaks those. Last he had a simple stone coaster with a felt bottom...yup, desk scratched all up! I had enough....did a little research...saw these...gave them too him...Problem solved! He loves them. Keeps him busy and saves me lots of money. UPDATE: 2-8-12: In all fairness, this unit may have not be meant for my 10 year old son as a device to keeps his active and fidgety hands safely busy while gaming. Apparently, since my original review that was only given a day's time before publishing...both toys have gone defective. I can se what is wrong, but can't prove it was from overuse, abuse or each done defective. In either case, they did not serve its purpose. Due to this, I am adding this experience for the reviewers as to help...and I lowered the durability a bit. I still believe it would make a great novelty that neither was in the constant hand use or in a child's environment. Given that, it is what it is...a novelty. I will continue my search for something that occupies his hands, as not to destroy y more of my household valued items...and at the same time, keep him interested with a more durable item. Stay tuned:)

Hilarious and stress‑relieving! Soft, squeezable, and fun to use — Panic Pete always brings a smile. Great little desk toy or gift!

Say goodbye to your stress with this handy squeeze toy. Loved it..

..a relic from the past..,still makes everyone laugh!

Was a funny gift for my frustrated brother. He got a kick out of it,

Just what we were looking for as a funny nostalgic gift!

Money in the garbage. I bought this as a calming toy but unfortunately it does not work well. The ears and eyes are kinda stuck and your hands hurt trying to squeeze down. I find that it should be able to make some sort of noise so you feel as though you're doing something.
