The Hex Bots Glow-in-the-Dark Wall Crawler Gecko is a remote-control robot lizard built around a vacuum-style suction system that lets it climb smooth vertical walls and ceilings. The Hex Bots line is the follow-up branding to Spin Master's long-running Hexbug micro-robotics line, which has been turning out small motorized creatures since 2007. The gecko adds a glow-in-the-dark body that absorbs light during the day and gives off a soft glow once the lights go out, which makes the wall climbing especially eye-catching during evening play. The robot is rechargeable, so kids do not have to keep swapping replacement cells between sessions, from Hex Bots.
- Recommended for ages 4+ Years
- Climbs walls and ceilings using a built-in suction system
- Glow-in-the-dark body and rechargeable internal battery
Kids who love remote-control toys but already have a fleet of cars will find the wall-climbing gecko offers something different to drive. Parents will appreciate that the rechargeable design takes one ongoing expense out of the equation, and the glow effect gives the toy a second life as a bedtime curiosity once the room goes dark. The gecko also makes a respectable first RC toy for younger kids in the recommended age range, since the climbing surface is the wall rather than the floor and there are fewer collisions to manage.
