I was asked to review this crazy spinning, rolling and attacking wheeled insect called the TerraSect. This is from The Alpha Group US and I received ti free to play with and review. Opinions are my own.
The TerraSect is a three segmented remote controlled Insect that can curl up into a ball and continue to roll along. The front has one two wheels that provide the power and the speed. It is a speedy toy. The rear has a single wheel that is on a swivel so that you can turn and slide and even drift a bit, that may have been the floor I was driving on through. I whipped it around and around and the back end would slide almost into a 360.
The TerraSect cannot be stopped. If you happen to roll it into a ball and it falls to its side and can no longer roll just hit the button to transform it and it will right itself. That may take one or two times transforming but I was not stopped while I used it. I was able to get it rolling along. I did find that If I wanted the TerraSect to roll as a ball then I had to get it going pretty fast and straight. I made the mistake of trying to turn it right before transformation and it careened out of control. It was a lot of run to roll around and you can see some of that in my review video below. After that I have more details on the toy and an Amazon affiliate link to where you can buy one for yourself.
We received this XPV® RC Skateboarding Mikey from Jakks Pacific to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
One really fun time with Andrew was playing with the XPV® RC Skateboarding Mikey on an empty basketball court on a beautiful Spring Day. This toy is huge. It is Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a skateboard and he spins and does wheelies and even rights himself when he falls, or gets knocked over. All the while he is saying a bunch of his signature phrases and showing that attitude that makes him one of the most loved Turtles.
We had a blast with this toy. It went pretty fast and all the spins and wheelies were done well. I had to goose it a bit to get Mikey to get back up but he didn’t actually fall, or got knocked, over until later in the playtime after we had blasted through the batteries. So he may have been a little tired getting back up, but he got back up. This was an all around fun toy to play with and I look forward to more time out with Andrew playing with Skateboarding Mikey. Andrew also enjoyed controlling the toy. It is perfectly simple and accessible for a four year old.
