Is it broken or is there a way to close it? I can't find the instructions - hardcopy or online!** A: Had the same problem; went through and checked that all the pieces were fully clipped and noticed some yellow ‘tabs’ that don’t clip-they sort of act as stops to keep it from opening too far. Some of the tabs were stuck when the sphere had been forced open too far. Fixed the tabs and it closed right down! **Q: How do you contract it once it's locked open? Lost directions.** A: Hold the sphere at top and bottom and let it collapse. IF hanging it will stay open only. This thing does not lock to the best of my knowledge **Q: how tall is it in feet?** A: 2 1/2 feet. **Q: Is there a Hoberman sphere that expands larger than 3 feet?** A: The Mega Sphere expands to 4.5 feet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005N5FV?ref=myi_title_dp ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for all kids! *by V***M on 7 January 2016* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of fun for all ages. *by J***D on 30 January 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What fun! *by N***R on 30 September 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Original Hoberman Sphere Plastic Expandable Toy, Rainbow - Hoberman Expanding Mini Sphere Toy - Hoberman: Sphere-- Expanding Universe Glow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/261835731-hoberman-hs104-rainbow-sphere](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/261835731-hoberman-hs104-rainbow-sphere) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
