Awesome Toy!
 

My 9yo daughter saved up and worked hard and finally got enough to buy this toy while on sale at ToysRUs for $40.



I was prepared to be disappointed -we hadn't seen any videos or ads, we were looking for a different flying thing when we saw this offer. She was worried it would be hard to control. it's brilliant. And so dragonfly-like. -much better outside than in. Our neighbor thought it was a huge insect and came for a closer look. Now I want one :lol: We thought the Robosapiens (made by the same people) not worth the $$, but I'm suprised this toy doesn't cost more. (Did I mention wanting one? :cool: ) If you're looking for a present in the next few months, this is it. Damn, I wish I'd got one for Mother's day (and we don't "do" mother's day.... :lol:)

Does it work well outside in the wind? cool gizmo!

That does look really cool, how hard is it to control? And I agree the robo things are a waste of money - my mother loves them and keeps buying them for my kids.... and they keep sitting on a shelf.

I can't play the video. Would you mind giving us the name of the toy?

It's a dragonfly by WowWee toys.

It seemed hard to control at first, but a 9-year-old got the hang of it within 24 hours and managed to dive-bomb her brother with band-aid necessary results :lol:. The instructions don't mention giving it a slight shove to get it started, but you do need to and you can see people doing that in all the videos.

it's awesome outside. Apart from the tree issue.

thank you. Got all those GrandbabyClouds to buy gifts for, so I'm always grateful for ideas.

nudged for clodfobble

that thing does look pretty fun, unfortunately i think it's too advanced for my 3yr old niece :-(

I remember buying a windup bird that flew like that. I was impossible to control but it flew at least 15 feet.

That looks like a lot of fun, although maybe difficult to steer. I wonder what the signal range of the transmitter is.

Thanks monster, I had forgotten about this!

I wonder how many times you can bash that into the walls, floor and ceiling before it won't fly anymore?

you know what would be funny as hell, if you made a super realistic bee costume for that thing and scared the ever loving shit out of people.

A lot.

It does come with spare wings, though.

We've been beating the heck out of one here. They really do work well and are durable. I was watching lil'G fly it and she seemed to lose control at about 60 or 70 feet. They fly really well outside on still days. You need a light touch to fly indoors but you can develop that.
