Enthusiasm for this disc shooting robot has gone through the roof here at Hawkin HQ! Operating the robot from the remote control is easy & grasped in an instant, so that it's simple to make it move around & do its stuff. It is also programmable from the chest panel ' Master, I await your command' is stated in a suitably sober robotic voice
- give a list of commands, press 'go' & it will do them in sequence as you have requested. Functions include 'dance', 'turn', 'raise gun', & our favourite, 'fire disc'. With a stack of foam discs loaded inside, programme the robot to take aim on unsuspecting victims before powerfully & rapidly firing discs at your target
- brilliant! Whilst performing the functions it will announce phrases such as 'you are under arrest' & 'identify yourself', & the voice is spot on too, commanding & officious. We love it & we are absolutely certain you will too!

Get ready for high-flying action! Our fantastic model helicopter is great for complex sorties throughout the house, or simply for buzzing around your sister's head. This design features 4-channel control for immediate change of direction, lift & speed. Landing gear means that you can stealthily taxi the Supercopter into position before switching to air mode for an instant lift-off. Cool features using the latest model technology such as the contra-rotating rotor blades & multi-channel control system allow you to perform precision manoeuvres. The combination of an internal gyro & an in-flight adjustable trim stops the aircraft from tipping forward, to keep it perfectly balanced for fast & responsive flight. Powered prior to flying from the handset, reducing weight along with a light metal frame & strong but flexible composite materials, for maximum durability & control. Thirty minutes charging provides seven minutes of flight, & the helicopter comes with a spare set of rotor blades. ...

A botanical curiosity found in many desert areas. It comes in dehydrated form, looking not unlike an old bird's-nest. When it is placed in water, it springs to life transformed within a few hours to a verdant fern-like plant. If it is allowed to dry out it returns to its original apparently-dead state. This process can be repeated indefinitely even after it has been transplanted into soil. ...

We're not sure which 1950s B-movie it was, but this Retro Ray Gun most definitely saved the world! Air-powered toy that shoots lightweight foam balls up to seven metres; simply squeeze the air-filled handle & pick the target.

Two sheets of good quality paper & two gift tags featuring iconic retro images from the 60s & 70s: for example, a disco ball, chopper bicycle & record turntable & many others. More than ten rich colours & 15 images combine to make a terrific display of shape & colour which is reminiscent of a bygone era in which psychedelia was key. A fine trip down memory lane! Two sheets per pack, 50 x 70cm ...

This is awesome! Pumping the hand grip back & forth causes a pair of flywheels to spin faster & faster. Repeated squeezes of the trigger releases the six foam darts from the cartridge; these are launched through the flywheels, increasing their speed enormously to make them capable of reaching inspiring distances. Maybe you'll be able to land a dart several neighbours' away, or simply reach Bob at the other end of the office (we tried & it was a direct hit! Sorry Bob.) ...

Superb electronic drum sticks that emit a variety of drum kit noises by beating them on any firm surface. The default is a standard drum, but it is possible to change the sound to a snare drum or cymbal crash for a single stroke at any stage, allowing quite complex effects to be achieved. The sticks will even play music to drum along to. The tips of the drum sticks light red with each stroke. ...
