The Future Of Toys: Spider Robots

Boys will always be boys. This one simply couldn’t get over the fact that when he was a kid, the toys in the store gave a great song and dance but once you looked in a little deeper, it wasn’t nearly as miraculous as you hoped. So he’s taking it into his own hands.

He’s created these spider robots that walk around like terrifyingly enormous spider monsters and worse – they have the ability to shoot things. Ok, so I’m a bit of an arachnophobe so I don’t think I’d personally want this thing stalking about my house shooting discs at me, but hey – if it’s your thing to have creepy robots that might come alive at night and kill your babies, go right ahead and get into the running to get a free one: wowstuff.co.uk is trying to figure out an awesome-o name for it and will send you one if they choose your name. Send in your fantastically inventive name for these monstrous beings here.

I believe he’s also looking for inspired toy armor designs (yes, spider robots that can shoot at you with EXPLODING ARMOUR – could this get any scarier!?) so if you’re a budding designer you can give that a crack too.

Good luck you lovers of the 8 legs! (Well, they have 6 but they still LOOK like spiders…)
