Hexbug Warriors Review
The most famous robotic bug creator in the UK introduces a brand new range of battling robots just in time for Christmas – Hexbug Warriors.
Hexbug Warriors are tiny, collectible, micro robots that use the physics of vibration to propel forward and battle with competitors.
Aged 6+, these cool looking robots will make the perfect gift for your son, nephew, cousin, grandson, in fact any little boy will love these!
These futuristic fighters come all the way from the year 2087 and are available in four colours, representing four duelling science academies from the future – Viridia Prep, Tronikon Tech, Bionika Cyborg and Caldera Prep.
Users strategically customise their Hexbug Warriors with a combination of mechanical weapons and armour that then prepare them to outmanoeuvre opponents in competitions staged in specially designed Battle Arenas and Stadiums.
Once the warriors are equipped and ready for battle they crash, jab and jostle with their opponents until they win or lose by running out of health – at which point they deactivate. There are 12 assorted Hexbug Warrior Battling Robots single packs available for fans to collect; each single pack includes one fully armoured Hexbug Warrior. Also available is a Battle Stadium and a Battle Arena, which provide the perfect battleground to compete against your friends and family.
There are 2 modes of play: Training Mode and Battle Mode. The pieces of the Hexbugs are easy to connect and they come with batteries included, so need to make an emergency Christmas day dash to the shops for batteries!
Obviously our twins are too young to enjoy these fabulous little robots but my 6 year old cousin, who has masses of energy and can’t seem to sit still for longer than 2 minutes thoroughly enjoyed playing with these for hours.
The Battle Stadium is priced at RRP £29.99, the Battling Robot is priced at RRP £7.99 and the Battle Arena is priced at RRP £19.99. Stocked exclusively in the UK at Toys R Us stores and online at www.hexbug.com/warriors

For the purpose of this review I was sent 1 set of war paint (so you can be prepared for battle), 1 arts and crafts kit (to make posters to cheer on your team), futuristic popping candy and a Hexbug Warriors Battle Stadium.
