hexbugs

That addictive song, ‘What’s that coming over the hill?…. It’s a …HEXBUG!’ once again sounds out on our screens 24/7. WHY? They are simply addictive!  The new range includes trendy colourful micro-robot’s  behaving like real bugs – the Warrior range.

Warriors, suitable for 6+ yrs, (but dads have been known to enjoy them too!), have real running motors, snap-on weapons and armour and a shock sensor inside! These battling robots have 2 modes of play to keep the kids entertained for hours. Battle and play mode – health decreases with every strong hit until robot deactivates.   They can even be customised for battle!

An absolutely fantastic addition to the already superb range of robotic toys.

If you haven’t heard, one in 40 of us already have a Hexbug!  Favourites we already know include the Larva, a bright blue bug suitable for children 8yrs + and a favourite with my daughter. The likeness to real larva and the slithering movement keeps her intrigued for hours!

The Nano, liked by parents probably because of its low price and vast educational benefits, has been the most popular recently.

This compact but entertaining habitat system consists of modular parts to build with special construct pieces and detachable walls! My kids love it, along with my husband!  The family spend hours designing their own mazes and re constructing the different habitats. Each set has its own rare mutation inside – all the more reason to buy one for all the kids!  And to top it all – they have the added allure of having a unique code to register and play online – what every child loves these days!

So, prepare for a ‘robotic battling 2013’ with the ever expanding Hexbug range, a great toy with educational benefits enjoyed by adults and kids alike.
