Toy Review: VMD Missile Striker

I was sent a Vehicles of Mass Destruction Missile Striker toy to play with and review. Opinions expressed are based upon my use of the toy.

Vehicles of Mass Destruction: Missile Striker

The Missile Striker from Skyrocket Toys is a remote control vehicle that can fire a screaming foam missile up to 65 feet. The wheels of the vehicle are actually tracks that can move independently of each other. You are able to swing the vehicle around quickly, more forward or backward easily and then fire off a powerful missile blast. The Missile Striker is a fast one and with the tracks you can climb over small obstacles like sticks and twigs when you use the toy outside. Continue reading Toy Review: VMD Missile Striker →

Photo-A-Day #3034

This is one of those times where I shot the photo yesterday but am doing the write up today.

I received an Air Hogs Stunt Plane to try out and review. I’ll be reviewing it soon. I wanted to try out the plane while on the Cape because of the huge ball field where I could fly it. Thing was, it was way too windy to do any sort of flying. So, I had this charged plane and no place to fly it.

I figured that I would try and fly it in the yard. I wanted to see how powerful it was and see if I could control it well. The second time in the air I flew it right into the neighbor’s tree, on their side of the fence so I went over with Andrew and a SkyBall and got it out of the tree. A SkyBall is a handy thing to have when getting planes out of trees.

Tomorrow morning I’m going to take the plane, and Eva, over to the big field across the street and see how well it flies, and how well I can fly it.

Okay, so I did fly it this morning (the day on which I am writing this post). Man, it is fun to fly. I’ve got to get a better hang of it and that would be better accomplished on my own without the princess of commentary along for the ride. I did get it stuck in a tree once but used the SkyBall again and got it right down, at the expense of the SkyBall, which stayed in the tree. It is firmly wedged there on a very high branch. Whoops.
