I was a very lucky ducky and was
invited to attend the Toy, Hobby and Nursery Fair.
Here is where I met the amazing people
of Modern Toys and was able to explore their stall. It was a fabulous maze of
great named Brands and amazing toys.
I was also able to test-drive the
awesome new Attacknid, the first NEW combat Creature range of battling robots.
Which was actually launched at the Toy Fair, so I felt extremely lucky to be
one of the first people to have a play.
The Attacknid also took out the award
for “Popular Science Best of the Toy Fair 2013 Award.”
The moment I laid my hand on the
remote, it was almost a battle to get it out of my hands. It was so much fun
being able to blast away safely at the other combat creature, watching its leg
armour fly off with every hit. I could only imagine the fun I would have with
this bad boy at home!!
It was also an amazing privilege to speak
to Richard North who is the CEO and I believe creator of this action packed
toy. He also gave us a cute little demonstration; it was so good to see the
passion in his eyes and even the way he spoke. This toy was hes little baby and
didn’t leave hes arm once… until I snuck in a little photo with his prized possession.
One interesting and almost fun little
piece of info he gave me was that he actually invited hacker to hack into his
machine, so much so that he has popped a smiley face on the inside near the hardwire
(brain) of the Attacknid. After all this is the way that Richard will be able
to develop this toy more and be able to bring out bigger and better things.
I know if I was a kid again and I received
this as a present I would be over the moon.
It is so easy to control; the remote is
made very simple and easy and can be played with for many hours. I do believe
it is also one of the only all terrain toys that are actually true to their
name. It is waterproof up to 3 inches on the legs, so you can have fun in
puddles. It is also very lightweight and can easily be put through all terrains
(perfect for them camping trips.)
I love this toy and had so much fun!!!
