The Mindflex Brainwave Game Gives Me a Headache
Mind control games like Mindflex are poised to be a big seller this holiday season, but is it really worth spending $80 on? It gives me a headache just thinking about it. More » -

Mattel Football: 1979's King of Timewasters
Mattel's Football (just "Football") was one of the most popular standalone handheld games of the late '70s, in the same ultra-addicting category as Pong and Pac-Man. It was the beginning of the end for the attention span of American youth. More » -

Vac-U-Form Mold Making Toy Would Never Fly With Today's Soccer Moms
Apparently, this kid-oriented Vac-U-Form toy involved creating your own plastic toys using molds and an exposed hot plate. It's safe to say that in today's litigious society, this would not have lasted long. More » -

Fake Chinese Barbie Phone Better Than the Real Thing
You know what's fun? When Chinese fakes actually turn out to be more useful (and would possibly sell better) than the real product. Case in point: This cellphone designed to look like Mattel's Barbie B2 mp3 player. More » -

D-REX Pet Dinosaur Stalks Prey, Bites Your Sister, Doesn't Poop on the Floor
While weren't quite as blown away by D-REX as we were by Elmo Live—"jazz hands" killed our objective judgment—the level of interactivity is pretty impressive for what's supposed to be a dumb child's toy (the kid, not the 'bot). About the size of a small puppy, it behaves semi-autonomously, though it'll follow patterns you pick w/ the remote like guarding your room (if it detects a light change, it goes apeshit) and (cutely) responds to petting, calling and the like. I'm not quite sure it's worth $150 yet, but even in this beta stage, it's damn close, and the fall launch date leaves plenty of polish time. More » -

Awesome Batman Toy Cape With Pop-Out WingsTurns Kids Into Dark Knight
I've wanted to be Batman since I was a little kid, but I've never had the billions required to hire Morgan Freeman to construct swollass para-military gear for me to wield an overwhelming advantage over ill-financed and poorly equipped common criminals. So, I'm going to have to settle for projecting my dreams onto my future offspring. Step one: Strap Mattel's Wayne Tech Mega Cape on him from the day he can walk. The wings spring out with a single touch, instantly readying him to fly down a staircase and into the ER. $40, June. Health insurance sold separately. More » -

Tyco Tri-clops R/C Car, Gets You In Laser Sight Then Pelts You Mercilessly With Discs
Generally we try to be pretty skeptical of R/C cars, what with so many of them being completely worthless, but the Tri-clops is anything but. We got our hands on this little beast earlier today, and it literally attacked us. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, first off it has three arms complete with omni-directional wheels that allow it to strafe back and forth, and there's even a berserker mode which sends the Tri-clops into a frantic spin that terrorized Gizmodo HQ. But that was only the beginning. More »
