Mazu Kan is a two-player non-contact battle game. Strap on the Mazu Kan’s chest-plate and wristbands and punch/power attack away. If one opponent doesn't block, the other scores, and the loser’s chest vibrates with excruciating, humiliating ... vibrations.  Knock the opponent’s life-lights out and be victorious.  Use the energy force unit to fight, heal and shield.  In this game, strategy is essential, and only a true Mazu Kan master can be victorious. Chop, punch, block and dodge: everything a real battle has... without the bloody noses and crying home to mom.

Now kids can have private conversations underwater with these cool Water Talkies developed by an 11-year-old after a trip to Hawaii. Before going under water, kids need only take a deep breath, hold Water Talkies against their mouths, and then go below. From there they can start talking, speaking slowly and loudly with friends. The sound travels up to 15 feet.
— “We’ve always done well with the water toys from Wild Planet,” said Tricia Cooper, buyer for Le Jouet in Metairie, La. “The underwater walkie talkies have a great price point for presents.”
— Wild Planet has lots of underwater toys that are “very fun and popular,” Markie Carlson, owner of Children’s Gift Shop in Northfield, Ill., told TDmonthly.
— Seven of 18 retailers said that their most popular water toys involved being under, rather than just in, the water.

Forget about squirting, Waterball utilizes one-of-a-kind technology that forms and launches balls of water. The SL175 Waterball Launcher enables kids to launch up to 175 balls of water per tank, or 40 balls per minute. Marble-sized waterballs travel from 6 to 20 feet.
— “It is very popular,” said Markie Carlson, owner Children’s Gift Shop in Northfield, Ill.
— “The kids really like it because it is like a water gun but isn't a gun shape, so their parents don't worry too much about buying it,” noted Jordan Walden, manager of Finnegan's Toys and Gifts in Portland, Ore.
— Wild Planet toys are consistently a specialty retailer favorite, according to TDmonthly surveys.

Verticon, the first aerial battle system, allows kids to experience the magic of mid-air combat. Kids can go head-to-head with 3-D warriors that fight in flight. Combat commences when kids release their palm-sized battling sphere into an inverted dome perched atop a foot-high air-blowing base. The Verticon warriors hover over the dome, floating and fighting in its powerful jet stream until one warrior is knocked out of the airflow and plummets to defeat. Each warrior is equipped with a combination of weapons best suited for its fighting style. This base unit comes with 4 warriors and 12 weapons. “Verticon wowed the crowd at the Western States Toy and Hobby show with the thrill of warriors battling to the finish in mid-air,” Robin Russell of Wild Planet told TDmonthly. This toy will be ready for retail in Fall 2006.

The hand-mounted tool features four red glowing tubes with light-piping technology and ambidextrous usability. Wearing the Spy Light Hand allows kids to read secret messages in the dark.

This essential spy accessory includes case, pen with light, magnification scope & voice recorder. Special yellow-tinted impact-resistant goggles with bright blue LED lights help kids navigate at night while keeping hands free for collecting evidence. The microphone mounted above the ear picks up sound from the distance and amplifies it through the attached ear bud, so approaching enemies can be heard in time to take cover. For the agent who uses the blanket of night to hide his tracks, the Spy Night Patrol-Listener is crucial to evading capture. The Spy Night Patrol-Listener is equipped with a built-in automatic volume-limiting device to soften loud sounds to a safe listening level.

The ultimate spy security system comes with three clamp-on emitter/receiver pods & revealer bottle. The barricade that is formed by lining up the lights from the Lazer Tripwire emitter/receiver pods is invisible to the untrained eye but detectable by an advanced spy who knows the secret of the beam. By spraying a mist of water across its path, the invisible beam illuminates to reveal a bright red line of light. This allows a trained agent to evade the alarm by slithering under or jumping over the active boundary. The beams of the Lazer Tripwire are as safe as a household flashlight.

First: these are not infrared goggles, but eyepieces with two small lights on them that project up to 25 feet in the dark. The lights turn off and on automatically when kids flip up/down the goggles. The goggles are lightweight and comfortable. The tech-style battery pack attaches to an adjustable headband. It features impact resistant green lenses.
— According to The Secret Shop owner Simon Phelps, in Portland, Ore.: “Little kids love these. Sure they’re not infrared night vision goggles, but they serve the same purpose, and for the price, who can argue?”
— Nancy Blaise, manager of the Toy Tech Toy Store in Denver, Colo., said this is her #1 spy seller. “More than any other spy toy, this gets kids ‘into’ the role.”
— This toy was given the Best Toys of the Year award by Parents Magazine.
