Walkie Bits Tiny Robotic Turtles

Walkie Bits Tiny Robotic Turtles are tiny (around 5cm) programmable robotic - er turtles.

We use the term programmable loosely here, but just press down on the shell and your Tiny Turtle will walk (outstanding!), hum a little tune (hmmm?!), boogie (Excellent!) and last, but no means least, race.

Programming bit comes in with the boogie mode, clicking the turtles shell in various sequences will make the Turtle boogie in the same fashion, so if you do it right, you can do it in time to your favourite tune.

Race mode is where it can get really exciting! In this mode, your little, high octane wonder will set off at a cracking pace, and like most animals that we tend to pit against one another in a semi-controlled environment, will slow down and pick up its heels at random; so you never know whats going to happen next. imagine the excitement as you and your friends line them up to see who gets in the next pint...

If you've finished imagining, I'll continue.

Walkie Bits Tiny Robotic Turtles come in bright fun colours (Hooray!) and their very own, very special tins. What move can you ask for?

Turtles that are fire resistant too, I suppose.

The most extreme water toy in the world ever? I think so! Like an inflatable Death-star you can march menacingly upon your victims as they flounder, arms flapping, to try to escape you like the rebel scum they are!

Taking pool to a new dimension! A twisted, unearthly dimension where the badger is king and everyone loves Ben Elton. No, not really, it takes it to the third dimension, a dimension you're probably familar with, but never when playing pool...

Do you, as I do, have problems removing the plug from the bathtub? Usually because I broke the attached chain at the plug end. This funny gadget will remind you that you need to drain the bath.
