Coolest Toys Yet…a Batmobile, Spinning Tops, and 3-D Games!
By Dan Nessel
Everything old is fun again! This month we look at spinning tops, a new twist on the classic four in a row, and a remote control Batmobile the grandkids—and you—will love.
Drive A Movie Replica Batmobile
On March 25th, 2016 the new Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice movie will be released. While numerous collectibles will be released in support of the movie, we believe collectibles should not just look good, they should also be fun!
Air Hogs Remote Control Movie Replica Batmobile is both beautiful to look at and a blast to drive. The brushed metal look, LED headlights and authentic afterburner rear light make it look just like the Batmobile from the movie. The 2.4 GHz remote with long distance control and precise steering will ensure that kids (and adults) of all ages will love being in control of this rockin’ Batmobile.

Four In A Row Enters The Third Dimension
First there was Tic-Tac-Toe. Then came four in a row games like Connect Four. The grid-like aspect of these games limited their variation and therefore their play value. Now ThinkFun is helping four in a row break free of its grid and smash into the third dimension with Stratos Spheres.
Using three dimensional spheres, players have to carefully strategize to get four in a row in any dimension to win this two-player strategy game. As there is no board, players can use their spheres to go for four in a row in all three dimensions. Don’t tell the grandkids, but as fun as it is, they will also be learning logic and spatial relationship skills.
