Review on HEXBUG 477 2409 00GL12 Hexbug Random Color by Kory Shelton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It was a lot of fun even without the special cases they cater for.

I got this as a gift for my 3 year old son and he (and his cat) love it! I had to take it away for a while so it didn't completely drain the battery on the first day. I will definitely have to order a few more batteries as I don't think they will last long with as many as he likes. This is the only hexbug we have so far and we don't have a kit for it, so far it's a bug in itself. It was a lot of fun, even without the special cases they make for it. My son has a table with a wooden toy train that is perfect for a giant obstacle course, some hexbugs would be great. It also serves as a fun cat toy when the kid isn't playing with it or even when the kid is playing with it. It moves surprisingly fast for its size and feels pretty solid. I recommend it to anyone looking for inexpensive entertainment for their kids or cats. Benefits1. Inexpensive2. Durable enough 3. Great for kids or cats4. Very portable Minuses 1. It's quite small so I can see it getting lost quite easily2. When the legs are bent he seems to want to keep walking in circles (this can easily be corrected by reshaping the legs)3. I haven't had to replace the battery yet, but I don't see it lasting very long given its size (although replacement prices seem reasonable).

Pros
  • Best in Niche
