Bought but never used. I thought it would be easier but it looks quite complex. I believe you need to use helium to inflate the balloon and then the remote control requires batteries. I’m not 100% sure. Everything is still sealed and it has never been removed out of its packaging. Only opened to display the contents. No batteries or helium supplied. You will receive the item as displayed. Great for an angry birds fan! Once inflated I believe it is over 3ft long and best to be used indoors! I bought two of these and both were never used so if you are interested in the two of them I can discount them. Thank you.
