Any suggestions on getting the pops unmolded?

I find this mold a bit more fuss than the Norpro Ice Pop maker. It will work well however. First remove the lid. This is much easier if you have not overfilled the mold as the lid will freeze to the excess as it swelled during freezing. The other obstacle is if your sticks are frozen crooked, that will make it harder to remove the lid as well. Let the mold stand till you see frost forming at this point dip mold in warm to hot water up to the lip of the mold and hold for up to a minute. take mold out of the water and remove the pops. If your sticks are so crooked that the lid cannot come off dip in water with lid on and then all pops will pull out with the lid. Hope this helps.

When I freeze them I put clips onto the sticks to keep them straight. This makes getting the lid off much easier. I dip it - 2 pops at a time - in a container with warm to hot water. The container is wide enough and deep enough to dip them all the way to the top (that's important, otherwise the bottom will melt and the top will still be stuck). Then I wiggle and tug on the popsicle sticks until I get them out. You can also just let them sit on the counter for a few minutes. The trick is getting them out before they start melting or getting mushy. Good luck!

Others said just place in warmed tap water for 30 seconds a voila! They slide right out.

I just cut them in half with my paper cutter. And also choose the eBay option to not print receipt.

If the pops that you hear are caused from dust and/or dirt buildup on the vinyl then cleaning with this product will help. Some of the surface noise is just part of the listening process of analog sound so you will never get rid of all of it.

Call fisher price, tell them it was a gift from an out of state relative. Don't mention Ebay. They will probably take care of you.

I guess you could just unmold the balls and put them in ziploc bags or wrap them in waxed paper so they dont stick together while they are still wet from unmolding. After a few hours you can probably just put them in any bin or container

The ones that unsnap can be resnapped into position unless the plastic had broke. If that's the case, replacement snaps wouldn't fit onto the box. They really are inexpensive boxes. Replacement of the whole box would probably be cheaper than finding replacement latches. Last resort, contact the company customer service. I'm sure they would be more than happy to help you out.

There are tools on ebay if you are having trouble putting them back together.

I found a near perfect/better replacement. Ring Pops leftover plastic ring! My kids left one in the car and it looked the same size as the sticks in the Zoku, so I tried it. I have to fill the individual mold with a little more liquid because they are just a tad bigger and the part of the ring that would seat in the pop while freezing isn't as long but the result is a little larger pop when finished, the kids fight over the ring pop one, so I am saving them from any Ring Pops they acquire in the future. Now, before anyone says Ring Pops are unhealthy, I bought a bag of 4 at Dollar General for a dollar and you can smash the candy with a hammer and have 4 sticks for a buck. Actually enhances the product and it might be a new design for Zoku to turn them into rings as my kids love it. Hope this helps.

There is one lid to pull up and you wipe the collection bars with a warm cloth, let them completely dry then put it back together. It does not take but a few minutes. Honestly it is hard to put into words what I mean, if I could show you a picture it would help. I think there may be a picture on the original description for this product.

When the pops are taken straight out of the freezer, they are a little cold but not enough so that I have had any complaints. I have packed these pops in their lunch bags so they are thawed enough by lunch to not be frozen solid. I also run them under hot water for the younger children to loosen up the pop for them and that also reduces the cold. My son likes to wrap his in a paper towel but that was mostly because of the condensation, not the coldness.

found a trick that works for ne. I cut a piece of cardboard the size of the vacuum nozzle, fill the bag, seal the bag except where the nozzle goes, remove the cardboard then vacuum the bag and reseal it. either that or thro them away

All I have found so far is to take them to Walmart. They ship them out, so I'm guessing there must be places on line as well. I just started looking myself. Best of luck.

Good luck! The box was not constructed well so I had to tape all corners after it was opened. The picture on the box is still intact :)

You might try using a blow dryer on them, which is usually very effective for removing stickers.

Email their customer support. They are fantastic and will help you get everything you need. You probably don't need what was on that disc anyway.

We have had the same problem. Ruined a coffee table and hardwood floors... Writing Hasbro and maybe returning a favorite toy....UPDATE: Contacted Hasbro via live chat on their website. Gave them the numbers from inside the legs and told them the issue. Also said others mentioned it on Amazon. They are replacing for free. They sent a prepaid envelope to send him back in so they can see the issue. I also had an issue with Bumblebee not closing all the way in vehicle mode. They are sending me a new one of that one as well without me having to return it.

I believe you can ask them to just leave the T.V as is without unpacking. But, if there are any damages in the transit then you wouldn't be able to prove unless they opened it for you.
