Blipblox After Dark is a kid’s synth for adults
[ad_1] The new more serious look also comes with some more serious sounds and synth features. The core functionality is the same — you turn it on, it immediately starts spitting out melodies and riffs while you twist knobs and push buttons to mangle the sound. There are a slew of new oscillator and modulation […]
Lego Super Mario is a charming attempt at real-life ‘Mario Maker’

KidKraft’s Alexa-powered toy kitchen sizzles and tells dad jokes
[ad_1] It doesn’t have Alexa built-in directly; instead the smarts come from an Echo speaker you add yourself. That might seem like a bit of a cheat but let’s be honest: It keeps the price down, especially since Amazon seems to be having sales on Echo Dots every other week. Or you might even have […]
Spin Master’s new NinjaBots are cute little killers
[ad_1] Unlike the Foot Clan, NinjaBots aren’t human shaped; they’re more like little red, blue or black stubby bottles on wheels… with nunchucks. But the NinjaBots are packed with plenty of human emotions. They’ll make wisecracks, smack talk their opponents and do a little victory dance when they’ve triumphed. So really not like real ninjas, […]
‘Minecraft Earth’ gets a bit more physical thanks to new NFC-enabled minis
[ad_1] The Boost Mini figures will retail for $5 each, and feature a variety of characters from the Minecraft franchise, including Steve, Alex, creepers, ducks and a cow.

Hot Wheels brings its NFC-enabled stat-tracker to even more toys this year
[ad_1] First up, the core ID setup gets a bit of a rethink. The Smart Track set, with its sturdy USB-connected pieces, was a pretty cool piece of tech. (We even included it in our holiday gift guide.) But at $180, it was probably too pricey for a lot of parents. This year there’s a […]
The Hot Wheels RC Cybertruck is a mini Tesla for $400
[ad_1] The Hot Wheels Cybertruck R/C has all the details you would expect for a toy that costs a few hundred dollars, including rows of front and rear lights and the distinctive rear cover with a telescoping tailgate.
