Was very disappointed with this when it arrived because the quality wasn’t great and the magnet would only hold about 15 paperclips before they started falling off! I am a teacher and my desk is constantly strewn with paperclips so had been very excited for the amusing solution! Luckily a friend offered to perform brain surgery on Albert by prising open his head along the very obvious seam. Inside she found one very weak magnet and a pile of old fliers and plastic that had been used to fill up the head! She replaced the magnet with something 1000 x stronger and now he can pick up just about anything, will be harder to get the paperclips back off though! It should have been made in a way that didn’t need a complete magnet replacement!

This really isn't very good and the paperclips keep falling off - the magnet is only at the top of the head and doesn't seem very big. The picture is misleading and the clips just fall off all the time. You get what you pay for, so I am now going to try a more expensive product in the hope it is better quality
I have this item on my desk at work and it is really eye-catching. However, the magnet is quite weak and the paper clips keep falling off all the time...
