A fun little toy that got some laughs
My son really enjoys playing with his HEX BOTS SkitterBot Spider that we received for free from Spinmaster Toys and Butterfly. It skitters and bounces around. He loved setting it to go down the stairs because it would right itself and carry on. It also seems fairly indestructible which is another pro for my son. I thought it didn't run well on the hardwood but my son thought it was funny and watched it bounce and slide.
I don't know if this will hold his interest for a very long time but maybe it will be brand new again when he can take it outside.
Kept them entertained
The toy is small but mighty, it kept my little one busy along with her cousins. They all took turns chasing after and catching it. It kept them entertained and gave them lots of giggles. Would recommend it. I recived this product through butterly for my honest review.
Hex Bots Spider is a big hit
My kids have been playing with "Skitter Bot" constantly since it arrived from Spin Master Toys. This Hex Bot is amazing; the long legs of the spider and the antennae keep it moving forward, backward, and jumping around when it hits a dead-end. It has a harder time moving on slippery smooth surfaces but on carpet &/or a bed or couch, it will put a smile on anyone's face. This toy is a big hit for young children and older alike ( adults too ). I will definitely buy it again as a birthday gift.
Super fun
We received this free to try in exchange for our honest review. This is definitely a fun little gadget to play with! It took a second to figure out what to actually do, but once we did - we had a blast! It’s so funny to watch it flip and flop all over the place and to watch my kiddos chase it around. Definitely a cute toy and so much fun to play with.
HexBots Skitter Bot
What impresses me most about this toy is its durability. Because of its configuration, the lightweight legs of the spider allow it to bounce when hitting obstacles or falling from heights. As a homeowner, I’m also not concerned with it causing damage to floors, walls, etc. it doesn’t “do” much other than move forward so is best for younger, very imaginative kids with longer attention spans. My 7 yr old enjoyed it more than my 11yr old who got bored with it faster until I would suggest what they could do with it. Most of their play with it involved determining what it could do (can it go down stairs, can it climb over a pillow, can it follow a straight line, etc). We also all observed that it really does move around like a spider. It’s “noisy” because the legs are constantly spinning, but doesn’t bang in to things and make loud noises. The quality is good and it was beyond easy to set up. Overall, it intrigued my kids, but I don’t see them going back to play with it time and time again. We are fans of HexBots and would be interested in additional toys from Spin Master. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
Open and play!
This HexBug Skitterbot Spider is pretty fun for ages 4+. It comes with battery installed, so just open and play! My son has a few HexBots, and they're good for solo play. or play with friends. It is lightweight and not noisy (a bonus for parents!). The Skitterbot is "all terrain" and we can confirm it works on carpet and hard surfaces. This would be a great gift for any kid who likes bugs, robots, moving toys, and/or science!
Fun for Everyone!
It was an easy toy to put together and figure out how to use. My son thought it was the coolest thing he had every seen. He loved watching it go crazy spinning everywhere. This is a toy that any style my son would love to have.
Interesting way to introduce robotics
My son loves it that he wanted to collect all Hex Bots 😄 good to introduce this to kids who might be interested on robotics. Just that the attachable plastic stand seems too thin that you need to carefully attach to the toy.
Meh- not the greatest toy your child will own
My son was very excited to open this toy, having played with the wall crawler gecko already. He could wait to turn it on and watch it move. However it was kind of lack luster. The bot skitters around the floor with the switch of an on/off button. It doesn't do anything else. You cannot control it, it does not go on the wall, etc. My son would probably rate the toy high but I have a feeling that after the initial play he will not reach for it again. Cool concept I guess, but not the best execution.
