Flex Upgrade Kit: Make Your Elf Amazing! This Kit Will Make Your Elf Flexible and Bendable! You Will Be Able to Bend, Grip, Stick, and Hang

Super cool kit. Even the needle is already prepared and it also includes magnets. Unfortunately in my box the entire Velcro was missing, although the package was fully sealed.

So, this little kit actually makes our little’s elf much more fun for her and definitely expands the possibilities for Ellie Elf’s daily activities. I am admittedly terrible at reading/watching/paying attention to instructions/directions, but there is a website you go to for a pdf of this product’s “how-to”, though it’s pretty self explanatory. Magnets: When you slide the tin open, the magnets tend to jump from the foam insert into the face of the tin lid, so if you aren’t looking down when you slide it open, it will be easy to not notice it happen; if your magnets are missing from your kit, check the lid right away, as they may be attached to it. The magnets aren’t great. They didn’t hold the minimal weight of Ellie, even on the refrigerator. I substituted the kit magnets with Neodymium Magnets (see photo) that I had in our craft supplies, which work amazingly. [ ⚠️ Neodymium Magnets are INCREDIBLY STRONG and can be very dangerous if inhaled, ingested,, or introduced to specific medical devices. Use of these magnets are only suggested if your elf is the absolute No Touch kind of elf and if no medical device contraindication exist.] Velcro: The adhesive on the back of the Velcro doesn’t seem conducive to strong adhesion to the elf’s hands, but I have not yet attached them to our little’s elf (Ellie is sprinkled with glitter, so the Velcro would be wasted and not stick bc of the glitter coating), so I can not say for certain. Needle, thread and seam-ripper: Perfect and convenient. The needles are pre-threaded, which is a nice time saver. If your elf isn’t red, you’ll need different thread to re-sew your elf’s feet. Even if you have never hand sewn anything before, it won’t matter; it’s super simple to close the seams back up. (Note: you only have to rip ~3 seams max. to insert the rod and the smaller magnets.) Bendy Rods: The main purpose of this kit for me were these bendy rods. Once I opened the package, I found that I could’ve used a wire cutter and a metal hanger to cut these bendy rods myself, and with probably more stability than these rods provide (though probably not nearly as smooth at the ends without filing/sanding of some sort.) the arm rods were a little too short for our little’s elf and the leg rods were a little too long, but Ellie is a pink elf, as is a requirement in our home, so for the actual elf on the shelf red elf, this may not be the case at all. I found it helpful to create loops at the ends of the leg rods (see photo) and wish I had thought of it for the arm rods, too, though it would have made the already too-short-rods even shorter, so it likely would not have worked in the arms the way it didnin the legs. Conclusion: Though I very easily could have made the same adjustments and additions to our elf from things we already had around the house, for a busy person, having the rods precut, the needles pre-threaded and the majority of the supplies in one prepared tin is convenient and worth the purchase price. 👍🏼

Incredible kit to make the most of your elf experience. I would like to sugest the following Add thread for the dark elf. Pre fold the tips of wire or add something so it does not pop out with use.

Es muy caro para lo que es pero la verdad si no te quieres andar preocupando en conseguir todo pues está súper bien, mejora mucho al elfo y ayuda a que sea más facil colocarlo. Lo único que no me gustó es que cuando entras a los videos tutoriales ninguno es de ellos, son videos caseros de otras personas que ni siquiera usan este kit sino que usan alambres, que ellos compraron aparte.

Absolutely fab. Defo try to fit this in prior to the evening of use, as it’s easy to do but can take a bit of time, not tonnes but don’t expect it to be quick! lol. But defo helps with the fun for sure. Highly recommend
