As a child, you probably spent a lot of time drawing on any surface that you could find. Well imagine if you could form small three dimensional shapes! Not only would you have a sense of accomplishment from creating something, but whatever you made would be really cool.
Sure, it's basically your regular ol' Nerf but with one 25 exceptions. This toy uses technology that should have existed in the '80s and shoots darts automatically. Nerf fights are definitely no laughing matter.
The Air Hogs Zero Gravity Laser Racerby Spin Master (what a mouthful!) is the kind of toy that seems to have zoomed right out of a child's imagination. The car is controlled by a "laser beam" that can go on the ground and the wall, and even on the ceiling. Too cool!
Wowwee is a company that's leading the charge for creating toys with AI. The MiP is a robot with emotions, that loves to play. It's a robotic buddy who can move around, spin-dance to music, and express its own emotions.
The Sphero is an unassuming looking robotic ball that you can do almost anything with. You control the Sphero with a smartphone or tablet and use the onboard camera to combine the real world with a number of the games that come free with the ball.
