The Robot Head Buzz Wire Game that tests a players' steady hand.  The aim is to take the wire loop from one side of the Robot’s head to the other, guiding it along his curly antenna as they go.  Touch the sides and the Robot will object, buzzing his disapproval with light up eyes.  What’s best is that it is all done by winding it up using a handle on the side without using any batteries! Mr. Robot Head is also now available with a built in AM/FM radio. Launch date: Feb. 2009.

— Caitlin from Toys on the Brain was immediately stricken by the refreshing package the Eco Rocket came in.

Her kids heartily approved of the rocket, with one even exclaiming, “I love the toy you got me!”
— Amanda Robinson of Natural Mommie was thrilled by the fact that the rocket’s noises were not too loud or annoying. The rocket’s large handle was perfect for her son to hold.
