Wordless Wednesday: HEXBUG – The Only Bugs I Willingly Let In The House

June 29, 2016 By: MapleMouseMama28 Comments

Now that the kids are playing outside most of the time, I occasionally get asked by the boy child if he can bring home a friend or two. Not the of the two legged variety though, more like the eight legged ones. Gasp! Does he not know his mama by now? To appease his curiosity about bugs in general I think I will stick to these types: HEXBUG! Let me tell you, William was the talk of the street with these, ah, creatures. 🙂

hexbug

The HEXBUG® Fire Ant is a high-speed robotic creature that you can control! This speedy robotic bug lights up and features six custom wheels to boost its ability to move around obstacles in its path. They are fun to race!

hexbug

The HEXBUG® Battle Spider 2 Pack will amaze with its realistic recoil and physical response when hit and when shooting. These robots feature a unique, battle-hardened deco and hi-tech life-sensors that measure each strike until only one is left standing!  These are pretty cool and kind of creepy, all at the same time!

Do you allow bugs in your home? Are these too lifelike for you? They are borderline for me…

    I don’t fancy those spiders at all, my guess is I’d be flattening them with a shoe before too long 🙂

    I’m OK as long as they are not real and they are just a toy.

    My little guys would definitely enjoy playing with these and Mommy would prefer the toys over the real things in our home.

    Hmmm, I am terrified of bugs but these would be OK in my home — but maybe not the spider one to be honest..

    Ha! There is a woman from Victoria who had a bug zoo and is now looking to open one in Vancouver. Would you pay to go to a bug zoo?

    With a couple of these electro-mechanical bugs we could start a zoo! Do they have more types?

    If my great grandsons like them, it is ok with me. One of my great grandsons is the fastest typist in his computer class. I am not surprised as his Dad is a computer specialist. in setting up blogs
    All my great grands are into techical things–a product of their age. ‘
