WowWee Roboreptile Robotic Reptile half price

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

WowWee Roboreptile Robotic ReptileThe Wowwee Roboreptile is a robotic reptile that is able to interact with its surroundings and is an extremely advanced piece of technology for a children’s toy. The reptile is programmed to be fully alert and aggressive, drowsy or unresponsive. The creature is sound and touch sensitive therefore his surroundings will decide whether he’s a harmless reptile or an aggressive monster. For this reason, the toy isn’t suitable for anyone aged 3 or below. You are able to calm roboreptile by feeding him special electronic food.

There are different modes the roboreptile can operate in; firstly, you are in charge and you use the remote to directly control the movements of the toy. There is also the ‘free roam’ option where you allow roboreptile to roam free. You will be surprised at the number of movements he can make; he can walk at a number of speeds, jump, move his tail, shake and make biting movements.

The toy is currently selling at Amazon.com for $59.99 reduced from $199.99 - that’s a 50% discount.

75% off DC Comics Ultra Blast Batman

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Ultra Blast BatmanDC Comics Ultra Blast Batman is only $9.99 reduced from $39.99 at Amazon - what a bargain! At 15 inches tall he is the largest Batman figure to date and the toy is extremely realistic.

The Ultra-Blaster can shoot the projectiles over 20 feet but they are soft and foamy so they are safe for children to play with. For even more fun, the back of the box has targets so you can practice your aiming. The best place to practice is probably in our garden, that way you have some open space for Batman to blast his projectiles.

The figure comes fully dressed in his grey suit with a black cape and black Batman mask. The Ultra-Blaster gun is quite large and comes with three blaster compartments. See Amazon.com.

Doctor Who Cyberman Voicechanger HelmetChristmas is fast approaching, the trees and decorations are going up and everybody is shopping like mad to get all the presents they need for Christmas day. If you need an idea for a boy’s gift this year then the Cyberman Voicechanger Helmet could be the perfect solution. The cheapest I could find the toy is £29.99 from lxdirect.com which is quite reasonable compared to the price other stores are selling it for.

The Cyberman Voicechanger Mask is a replica Cyberhead from the Doctor Who series and has three buttons that all have different functions, one plays phrases spoken by the Cyberman, another changes your own voice to the tones of the Cyberman and the final button makes weapon sound effects. For Doctor Who fans this is the perfect gift and could be a great toy to play tricks on the family at Christmas. The Toy Retailers Association have placed this as one of their ‘Top Toys 2006’ and it is set to be one of the most popular Christmas gifts this year.
