By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Nov 12th 2008 4 CommentsTectoy has come up with a new gaming console that requires a 3G network connection. Odd, I know. But it’s trying to do something a little bit different with the whole console idea. Set to launch in Brazil in July of next year, this console won’t exactly take the world by storm, but it’s nice to see Tectoy trying something new here.

By Chris Davies on Saturday, Nov 1st 2008 2 CommentsIf you’re looking for a bargain holiday robot, you could do a lot worse than the Tomy i-SOBOT.

Hand Crank Locomotives are the best gift ever
By Brenda Stokes on Friday, Oct 31st 2008 No CommentsI’m sure many people wanted toy train sets when they were a kid. But one that you can actually ride in? Well, that sort of luxury was reserved for Ricky Schroeder on Silver Spoons. Oh yeah. I made a Silver Spoons reference.

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Oct 29th 2008 No CommentsJust because we loved WowWee’s Bladestar, doesn’t mean we haven’t room in our hearts for another RC helicopter. Today it’s the turn of the Roboppi ROBO-P, a tiny rechargeable whirlygig with contra-rotating blades and an LED-illuminated body.

WowWee Bladestar Review – Indoor Flyer with Auto Pilot Sensors
By Ewdison Then on Wednesday, Oct 22nd 2008 1 CommentWe’ve something of a history with remote control helicopters here on SlashGear. They don’t crop up all that often, but when they do we find that readers go for them in a big way. Developments in contra-rotating blades and other cleverness has done a lot to minimize what user expertise is required, and now WowWee have stepped into the fray with their own, super-simple Bladestar remote control helicopters. Can they carry over their tradition of straightforward, right-out-of-the-box fun to historically finnicky flight? We put on our best pilot’s goggles and silk scarves and took a look.
Indiana Jones Giant Radio Controlled Ant crawls onto the scene
By Brenda Stokes on Friday, Oct 10th 2008 No Comments
Whether you liked the latest film in the series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, one thing is for certain. The franchise is alive and well. The movie sold pretty well at the box office and there’s merchandise all over the place. Take this toy, for instance.
The Indiana Jones Giant Radio Controlled Ant encapsulates the spirit of the movie pretty well. In fact, you use a remote that’s in the shape of a crystal skull in order to control the ant. You can move this scary ant around and its movements mimic those of real ants. It even has a mandible that works in a scissor movement.
Sounds scary. But hey, if your kids like bugs or you’re an Indy fan, this is a no-brainer to add to your collection. The toy takes AA batteries and will cost you $34.98. Not too bad for a huge remote controlled ant.

WowWee Alive Panda Cub is all sorts of cute
By Brenda Stokes on Tuesday, Oct 7th 2008 No Comments
We love robots here on SlashGear. That’s just a given. But the WowWee Alive Panda Cub is certainly interesting. Not to mention, pretty freakin’ adorable.
Normally when you hear the word “robot,” people tend to think of something with exposed wires, a bunch of metal parts and super strength. However, this Panda is fuzzy and cute. What a contrast, eh?
