Zuru Mini Brands Mini Vinyls Playset vs Zuru Mini Brands Really Works Vinyl Player

Buy the Mini Vinyls Playset for a young child or a gift where the three capsules keep the play going. Buy the Really Works Vinyl Player for a collector or a ROSÉ and Bruno Mars fan who wants one licensed record and a stand to display it. Both use the same working miniature turntable, so build and play feel are close. Owners rate the licensed player well at 4.6 out of 5, and the main trade-off is three mystery capsules versus one exclusive named track.

  • Choose the Mini Brands Mini Vinyls Playset if you want three capsules in the box and a music toy for a child ages 3 and up.
  • Choose the Really Works Vinyl Player if the exclusive "APT." record by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars and a display stand matter more than extra capsules.
