Sometimes I get more excited about a toy than my kids. I saw this online and watched a lot of videos on YouTube. I could not help but to get myself one.

The main mechanics in this toy is the vibrating motion. But that is not the amazing part, this toy moves like a real bug. It goes forward and turns depending on the terrain. No problem if it bumps into walls, it just turn and just keep on going and going. Even if you lay it on its back, it just picks up itself like a cat. It just won't run on carpet though. Battery included. Made in China.

There are so many creative things you can do. We built a Duplo obstacles with tunnels, and a labyrinth of puzzles. It just goes to every niche and nooks it can get where it feets bring him. If you put it on the floor, it just runs around everywhere, goes in and out of furniture. My 5-yr-old son even put it inside a box of cereal when I was not looking. I have to dig deep to find it as it burrowed itself into it. Tons of fun. My son now carries it everywhere like a real pet.

The feet and the upper part of the bug are made of rubber. It has 12 legs, 6 on each side. It looks very durable unless somebody intentionally steps on it like a roach. The lower part of the body where it houses a single AG13 button battery is made of hard plastic. The on and off switch is also located there. My son is playing with this almost 2 days nonstop and I am surprised that the battery still going strong. I already ordered a set of 20 batteries for less than three dollars from Amazon.

I needed this item to conduct an class with a group of 4th Grade students. The product arrived on time and in the condition I expected. I had hoped for more colors, but I got two, 4 black robots and 1 yellow. It worked out well. Great job!

Quite frankly, the appeal of this little toy is beyond me, and most adults. But, my 7 year old LOVES it, and it arrived on time and in excellent condition.

My 7 year old grandson and his friend got a lot of enjoyment in putting the unit togeher and then letting these critters go. Even the grown-ups had fun watching them fun and move.

I bought the Hex bug for my bengal cats and they couldn't be happier. It looks like a pack of lap leopards hunting and sorrounding the hex bug. The pick it up, the drop it, they pounce on it and they do flips around it. If you don't have kids,you can buy them for your kitties.

My daughter's boxer was afraid of them for a couple of days but then she got over it. Boxer are too big to play with them, they will kill them.

This was a gift for the child of a friend of mine. From all reports he enjoys playing with them. (I bought 2.)

My 4 y/o niece and 8 y/o nephew LOVED these. Spent a lot of time playing with them over the holiday.

Two of the four I ordered had dead batteries and was a big disappointment when the grand kids wanted to play with the on Christmas day when they received them in there Christmas stockings that Santa filled how embracing and disappointed they were
