WowWee Lightstar

The Lightstar is a new remote controlled hover toy by WowWee. This cool little gadget packs the miracle of flight into a simple and easy to use package suitable for the kids (and bigger kids too!).

The Lightstar features glowing LED lights for fun in the dark, a rechargeable battery that takes only 10 minutes to charge and a durable body meaning those inevitable crashes won't see the end of the Lightstar.

The Lightstar also comes in three colours (blue, orange and green), each one using a different infrared channel so up to three Lightstars can fly together without remotes interfering with each other.

The Lightsar is available at large retail chains for the sweet price point of around US$20, or you can purchase online at Amazon.com.

Mattel Mindflex

Mattel's Mindflex is the long hyped, mind controlled, obstacle course toy. It works by measuring brain activity and mental focus to power a system of fans that guide a ball through a tiny obstacle course.

From the Mindflex website:

Whenever you concentrate, you generate brainwave activity. Mindflex uses a variation of EEG technology to "read" the intensity of these brainwaves via sensors positioned on your forehead and ears. These sensors do not generate or interfere with brainwaves; they only read what is already there.

Once the Mindflex headset recognizes your brainwaves, it transmits a signal to a fan within the console. This fan controls ball levitation. Your brainwaves, in turn, control the power of the fan. The more effectively you concentrate, the stronger the fan blows and the higher the ball floats. Relaxing your mind relaxes the fan's airflow, which lowers the ball.

Receiving three finalist nominations this year for the 2010 Toy of the Year awards (Most Innovative Toy of The Year, Game of The Year and Electronic Entertainment Toy of the Year) you can be guaranteed this will be a hit with the kids.

Mindflex is now available at large retail chains, such as Target and Kmart, but also online at Amazon.com.
