Air Hogs Havoc Cyclone


Grade: B+

"This thing is weird, Weird, WEIRD, but it works! Sometimes it likes to get a mind of its own, but when it does, it puts on a great show pulling surprising aerobatic stunts... Leave it to Spinmaster to bring us something different!"

Air Hogs V-Wing Avenger


Grade: A+

"As of this writing, the V-Wing Avenger is the new undisputed champion of indoor flight. For th price, I don't think you're going to find anything that can even come close to it in terms of controllability, stability, ease of use, and true small-space indoor capability."

Air Hogs Nano Hawk monowing



Grade: B-

"The single-wing Air Hogs Nano Hawk is a decent indoor flyer, but not quite as good as the original biplane version. It looks good and is controllable in an area the size of a large living room, but it likes to stall & fall a lot when flying straight."

Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro


Grade: A

"I like it! The Zero Gravity Micro looks good and works as advertised. Plus, it's not too expensive and battery costs are low...

...Cool little car, available in 3 channels for side-by-side racing, and sold for a reasonable price."

Takara-Tomy Heli-Q


Grade: D

"This is a cool-looking high-tech ultra-micro concept from the innovative minds of Japan, but sadly, it just doesn't work well at all. Novel concept, novel looks, novel controller, not a fun toy...

Dickie Wild Reptile buggy


Grade: A+

"This is a good little buggy! I may have never heard of the manufacturer before, but now I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of their products... Honestly, the Wild Reptile is a little on the expensive side for its size and target age range, but I feel that I paid for best-in-class performance and really got my money's worth."

Batman: The Dark Knight Tumbler 6V


Grade: D

"Well, it sure looked good, but especially for the price, the performance is really poor. I can imagine any kid who likes Batman like I do getting really excited about this car when he first sees it, then getting really disappointed when he first drives it..."
