Tyco R/C N.S.E.C.T.: Voted “Boy Toy of the Year” by the Toy Industry Association. This outrageously cool toy took years for Mattel to develop and the N.S.E.C.T.™ (New Science of Experimental Combat Technology) creature includes Variable Motion Technology™, allowing it to move just like a creepy crawler that you might find outside in the grass. All six legs work in conjunction with one another to help the N.S.E.C.T.™ creature dart across the floor and creep its way across any obstacle.
This creature is so awesome that it comes with an “Armor plated” assortment of weaponry. Not only is this creepy creature intimidating it also features a pinching claw that allows it to pick up and transport other items.

The best feature on the N.S.E.C.T is its secret weapon. The creature’s eyes can change color from a deterrent yellow to a furious red within seconds as its wings ascend to reveal a veiled cannon that can be accustomed for targeting all with the press of a button. You can then press another button and the N.S.E.C.T.™ creature shoots its foam darts rapidly all together or individually.

Roboreptile: This outrageous robotic dinosaur is the best thing to happen since Jurassic Park. He might be a little scary for smaller children, however, boys 8 and over will definitely enjoy this interactive reptilian. The Roboreptile has an interactive personality all his own. He roars, he stomps, and he moves just like a real dinosaur. When he’s angry his eyes will turn a violent red and his tail will whip around furiously.

After he has been fed, his mood becomes satisfied and he moves around slowly. Once he has on his hood he becomes sedate and he powers down and sleeps. He also features touch and sound sensors and a cool remote control. Batteries are sold separately.
