A Little Critter For Dad!
Currently taking the UK by storm HEXBUG is the perfect present to delight dads everywhere on 19th June for Fathers Day. These little critters are original, innovative and highly entertaining, and are sure to keep Dad entertained for hours, whether kept on his office desk or at home.
Behaving just like real insects, scuttling over surfaces, each type of Hexbug behaves in a different way with its own traits unique to them. They are small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, and are fascinating for all ages – my kids love them and my dog actually goes totally crazy when they are in action!
The HEXBUG family of critters is available in a variety of designs and colours including the Nano, Inchworm, Crab, Original and Ant.
HEXBUG Nano (£8.99) is the smallest Hexbug within the collection, but amongst the mightiest. It uses the physics of vibration to propel forward and explore its environment. Powered by a tiny motor and 12 fixed, angular legs, they can quickly navigate through the most complex mazes. Possessing an uncanny sense of balance, it can even flip to its feet and zoom forward when turned on its back! When coming into contact with an object in its path, the energetic insect will switch directions and scurry away on a new path due to its persistent random behaviour – what a very clever little Nano it is!
HEXBUG Crab (£14.99) uses its independent light and sound sensors to hide in the dark and run from loud noises. You can control where each Hexbug Crab scurries and can make it change direction with the clap of your hands. Kids will love this one, and Dad is sure to have much fun joining in with them.
Each Hexbug is available in assorted colours and are available now at Hamleys, Next, Selfridges, Toys R Us, Red5 stores and Red5 in House of Fraser, Waterstones and HMV, other specialty retailers or at http://www.hexbug.com.
