GLIDES™ HEEL SKATES


GLIDES
™ HEEL SKATES by Air Kicks give kids a new skating experience, and a cool way to travel. With GLIDES™ strapped to their heels, a slight backward weight shift lifts them onto a set of two polyurethane wheels with flashing lights that propel them across the floor as if they are floating. Skating motions keep the momentum going, and to slow down, stop or continue walking, kids just tip forward onto their shoe soles. GLIDES™ are fun, fast and provide a great workout! The one-size fits all GLIDES™ use a comfortable, wrap-around enclosure that’s designed to fit any athletic shoe so kids won’t outgrow them! GLIDES™ have two larger wheels on each foot that increase stability and control, plus they’re small enough to throw in a backpack!
         #11300   GLIDES™ by Air Kicks   –  Ages 5 +; MSRP $35; Package Dimensions: 7” x 4” x

R/C EASY-COPTER™

R/C EASY-COPTER™ - The Easy-to-Fly R/C Mini Helicopter – The new EASY-COPTER™ is small, incredibly lightweight and affordable. EASY-COPTER™ uses a new space-age material called EPP – that looks like Styrofoam but is FAR more durable and flexible. With miniature motors and a six AA battery transmitter – EASY-COPTER™’s on-board energy cell recharges through the transmitter and provides several minutes of flying per charge. Three frequencies allow three choppers to fly together—dodging and intercepting each other!

SUPER GYRO™ TOP

SUPER GYRO™ TOP – Spinning tops have been around for centuries, but the SUPER GYRO™ TOP takes it to a whole other level. Contained within the clear plastic dome is a microprocessor with a bank of four colored LED lights. Rev up the top by rapidly moving the rubber base along a floor or table and let it go!  It whirls and balances for minutes at a time. SUPER GYRO™ TOP flashes an amazing 32 different combinations of blue, green, yellow and red pulsating lights. Its choreographed stroboscopic light show mesmerizes kids and adults by the changing patterns of light that are especially vivid in the dark but bright enough to see in daylight!
         #12080    SUPER GYRO™ TOP  –    Ages 6 +; MSRP $3.50; Pkg. Dimensions: 5.75” x 4” x 2”

HOVER HOCKEY™


HOVER HOCKEY
™ - Kids and adults won’t be able to resist playing our new HOVER HOCKEY™! The exciting game is easy. With a flip of the switch, the turbofan motor sends the disc hovering about a millimeter above the table. The nearly frictionless “hockey” puck can flash across any smooth surface – hopefully right into the opponent’s goal! Any table or smooth floor makes for a perfect arena for the game. The disc’s soft rubber bumper protects it from shock and allows it to carom off objects and angle away in new directions. Each set includes a disc, two disc strikers and two cardboard goals.
         #12090   HOVER HOCKEY™ – Ages 5+; MSRP $9.99; Package Dimensions: 15.25” x 9.5” x 2.5”

The plane comes equipped with a super lightweight motor and body materials to create an easy-to-fly, yet highly realistic experience! With the two-channel digital-proportional controller in your hands, pushing the right stick forward makes the plane gently climb while easing back levels it off. The other toggle controls left and right direction by automatically coordinating the energy output of each motor. The body and wings are made of a new flexible compound called EPP that’s amazingly crash proof. The onboard energy cell can be recharged through the controller, which requires six AA batteries.  Ten minutes of charging provides about 3-4 minutes of mesmerizing flight time!                   #12030    R/C EASY-FLYER™  –  Ages 6 +; MSRP $49.99; Pkg.

WATER SLINGER™ Flying Disc

WATER SLINGER™ Flying Disc is made of a cool blend of closed and open-cell foam that will make it the life of the party at any beach or pool. Hold it under water for a few seconds, allowing the open-cell foam to soak up the water like a sponge. The closed cell foam on the edge gives it directional stability, long flight times and floatation. As it spins, the stored water flings outwards from centrifugal force and soaks everyone around with a refreshing mist. Mischief and mayhem begin when you sling it across the beach!                   #12215   WATER SLINGER™ Flying Disc  – Ages 4+; MSRP $5.99; Pkg. Dim.: 9.5” x 9.5” x 1.25”

R/C STUNT RoboCAR™

R/C STUNT RoboCAR™ — This Turbo-Twisting Radio Controlled Vehicle is a combination of robot and car — a dual-personality, radio-controlled wonder that will intrigue children with its unique design. Its lighted wheels makes RoboCAR™ look like your average robot — with a pair of plastic wheels sticking out of its visored head!  When the body is uncoiled – it becomes a robot, and when it coils up – it changes back into a racecar. Not only does it perform the usual car tricks via the remote controllers’ two toggles. It has a secret stunt mode that pivots the entire front axle with lighted wheels, turning the RoboCAR™ into an antic-filled, flipped-out trick master. You never know exactly what it’s going to do!                   #16315   R/C STUNT RoboCAR™  –  Ages 4+; MSRP $32.95 Dimensions: 12.5" x 6.5” x 7.5”

SUPER TURBO SPINS™

SUPER TURBO SPINS™ puts a new spin on this long-time favorite toy category. Kids use the winder to rotate one or both of the SPINS at nearly supersonic RPMs. Kids can try to balance one on top of the other – or they can even try to see who can spin the longest and farthest. Both of the two SUPER TURBO SPINS™ feature an array of LEDs that dazzle and sparkle, flashing a child’s own private, mini fireworks display!         #12120   SUPER TURBO SPINS™ –  Ages 4+; MSRP $5.50; Pkg.
