Grabbed this for my 2 year old and it's genuinely one of the better purchases I've made. Lots of little activities on each page buttons, zips, laces keeps her focused way longer than I expected. The quality of the fabric and stitching is solid, nothing came loose even after rough handling. She calls it her "bunny book" and asks for it every morning. Didn't think a book could replace screen time but here we are.

I emailed asking what toy would suit a 3 yr old and got a genuinely helpful reply not a copy paste response, an actual recommendation with reasons. It was a little thing but it made me trust the brand so much. Will definitely be shopping here again.

JUNK TOY - Can't see a thing thru the scopes!!
I purchased two of these scopes for my two grandsons and please look at every review on multiple websites and also type into a google search "The Little Marvin negative reviews and complaints" and you'll see this company and their toys are complete rip offs and you only have 30 days to return, so forget giving it for Christmas. AVOID this company!! TOTAL CRAP!

Dear Lisa,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the Marvin Scopes did not meet your expectations.
We understand how important it is for a gift to feel just right, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. The Marvin Scope is designed to provide a hands-on, close-up viewing experience, and proper positioning and focus can make a significant difference in what you see.
Our team previously responded with recommendations to help improve the experience, but we did not receive a follow-up from you after that.
If the product seems to not be working as expected, please feel free to contact us at contact@the-littlemarvin.com with a photo or a short video clearly showing the issue. We’ll be happy to review it and arrange a free replacement once a defect is confirmed.
Our goal is always to support our customers and ensure they get the best possible experience with our products.
Best regards,
The Little Marvin

Dear Sandy,
We wanted to follow up on your review and provide some additional context.
We’re sorry that your initial experience with the Marvin Scope did not meet your expectations, especially since it was meant as a gift.
After reviewing the video you shared, our team confirmed there may have been an issue with the device. While the order was outside of the standard return&exchange policy timeframe, we still arranged a replacement once this was verified.
Your replacement was sent, and we sincerely hope it provided the experience the Marvin Scope is designed for.
We always aim to support our customers and make things right when something doesn’t go as planned. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at contact@the-littlemarvin.com.
Best regards,

Website states speedy shipping, however ordered 2 weeks before Christmas and was not shipped (from China via aeroplane) on Christmas eve. Did not arrive until one week after Christmas. Very misleading.

Dear Laura,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that your order did not arrive in time for Christmas - we completely understand how important timing is, especially for gifts.
We’ve reviewed the details provided, and it appears the order was placed very close to the holiday period, when shipping carriers experience significantly higher volumes and delays can occur. The selected shipping method was our free standard delivery, which typically takes around 10 business days after processing, as outlined on our website prior to purchase.
As a U.S.-based company, we work with multiple warehouses worldwide. Depending on stock availability and delivery location, orders may be shipped from the nearest available facility. In this case, for delivery to the UK, the item was shipped from an overseas warehouse rather than the U.S. to ensure fulfillment.
We’re truly sorry that the timing did not align with your expectations, and we understand how disappointing that can be.
We’d still be happy to take a closer look at your order and assist further - please feel free to contact us at contact@the-littlemarvin.com with any additional details, and we’ll do our best to help.
Best regards,
The Little Marvin
I should have known better
I should have known better! My order roamed around Chine for almost two weeks. Still waiting for the two walkie talkies. I will NEVER order anything from this company EVER again! I’m at 15 days waiting for a tracking update.

Dishonest company
So I ordered the robot on 12/13 and it is still in China. I emailed them and they assured me that they have warehouses in the U.S, skirting around the fact that the item is not actually coming from any said warehouses, but mainland China. It won’t be here in time, so will be a return. It just seems like they are a Chinese company dishonestly representing themselves as an American company. Tracking shows it being scanned at 4 different locations in China. It won’t let me upload pictures of the tracking and correspondence with the company.
Edited to add: received the package and the box is falling apart, doesn’t look appropriate for gifting. What a waste of time and money.

Dear Rachael,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience - we truly appreciate it.
We completely understand your concern, especially when ordering a gift with a specific timeline in mind. Timing is incredibly important, and we’re sorry that the delivery did not meet your expectations in this case.
To clarify, The Little Marvin is a U.S.-based company, and we work with multiple fulfillment centers worldwide, including in the United States. Depending on stock availability and the shipping method selected at checkout, some orders may be shipped from our international warehouses. This allows us to keep our products accessible and offer better pricing to our customers.
We always aim to be transparent about our shipping times, and free standard shipping (selected for this order) typically takes around 10 business days after processing (in your case it was 7 days). We understand that in your situation, this timing didn’t align with your needs, and we’re sorry for that.
We’re also sorry to hear about the condition of the packaging upon arrival. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our customers, especially when the item is intended as a gift. We’d be more than happy to look into this for you and make it right.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at contact@the-littlemarvin.com so we can assist you further - whether that’s reviewing the situation or offering a suitable solution.
Our goal is always to ensure that every customer has a positive experience with us, and we’re here to help whenever needed.
Best regards,
The Little Marvin

I ordered the scope for my grandson several weeks ago. Now when I click on the links to check on my package delivery it takes me to a site stating it is blocked. When I call the number it states to email. Everything that I click on in the email is blocked!!!! I would be extremely cautious ordering from this website!

It looks like there may have been an issue with the tracking link or how it’s being opened, as some email apps or networks can block external links. Our team is always available to help with tracking updates and ensure everything is on the right track.
We take every order seriously and always aim to provide clear communication and support. We’d still be happy to look into it for you - please reach out to us at contact@the-littlemarvin.com so we can check your order and assist you further.
Free Shipping, Great Quality
The product arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The miniscope works exactly as described and feels very durable. My son likes it a lot. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear your Miniscope arrived safely and that your son is enjoying it. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to having you shop with us again!

Very happy with my purchase
I bought the Miniscope Pro and the Digital Walkie Talkie for my son and daughter, and both products turned out great.
The miniscope has an impressive zoom, and we’ve already spent a lot of time exploring things outside together.
The walkie talkies are super fun and a nice alternative to screen time.
Really happy with the quality - would buy from The Little Marvin again.

Absolute piece of crap!!
Absolute piece of crap!!! I would have rated it a zero star but I couldn't. I ordered 2 for my grandkids 3 and 5 you can't see anything through the lense. I reached out, the same day I received it, to contact the company for a refund/return number but they replied with an email telling me that I should try putting it on a flat surface and the take a picture of its issue. How do you take a picture of what you can't see through the lense???? I did. and I never heard from them again. Tried many times to contact again but nothing. Don't buy this expensive total scam piece of crap.

We’re actively working on improving our service, and we also want to apologize for the delayed reply here on this platform. This is not the experience we want any of our customers to have.

“Little Marvin” microscope is not for Age 4,5 & 7 YO with misleading guarantee.
“Little Marvin” microscopes were the worst unusable presents that my granddaughters (ages 4, 5 & 7) received this holiday. The scope viewing image is not clear and the scope functions are way beyond the children’s ages as targeted by this company.
I requested an RMA within the 30 day guarantee period and learned the following:
“Little Marvin’s” “30 day, no questions asked guarantee” is a meaningless advertising tactic that does not apply to return requests. The “Little Marvin”. microscope fine print return carries a 15 day window policy, that starts on your day of delivery.
My microscope return requests would have had to begin even BEFORE my grandchildren opened their Christmas gifts from me.
“Little Marvin” is well aware of standard Christmas protocol of opening gifts between 12/25-1/1 & the standard return window that should follow. They are clearly an “out of the norm” vendor NOT to support the same children that they target in their ads. A consumer friendly company would have responded favorably to my request for holiday return.
But “Little Marvin” would not provide RMA.
Be careful. “Little Marvin” microscope “30 day guarantee” is misleading with fine print attached and no holiday window for return. Be careful, the “Little Marvin” microscope is not appropriate for ages 4,5 or 7, which is the target audience for this product. Be careful, this company is more interested in their revenue than in supporting your child’s growth.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry that your experience didn’t match your expectations. And our apologies for the delayed response on this platform - we’re actively improving our service and would really like the chance to make things right.
For clarity: our return window is now 30 days from the delivery date, including holiday orders - this policy was updated from our earlier 14-day window to better support customers who buy gifts.
Regarding age suitability, we offer different types of microscopes. The Marvin’Scope is more like a real optical microscope that requires learning how to focus, so younger children often need a bit of guidance. For easier, child-friendly use, we also have models with a digital screen (Miniscope & Miniscope Pro), which many families prefer for ages 3–7.
We’re truly sorry this wasn’t the experience you hoped for. And this is not the experience we'd like to have with our customers. Please feel free to reach out to us at contact@the-littlemarvin.com
- we’ll gladly offer a pleasant solution that we hope will bring joy to your grandchildren.
