Die Cast/radio control Spin Master
Eject: an enhanced Hover Assault with more features. Hover Assault was the number two selling RC toy in 2012 (NPD EPoS 2012). Pilots can eject the chassis on take-off, giving a lighter helicopter for in-fl ight performance and handling, added to the ability to adjust the fi ring angle of the missiles. Spin Master is launching the award-winning
AtmoSphere: awarded Best Toy by Popular Science at New York Toy Fair in February. This levitating sphere requires no remote control and hovers above any surface. It can be controlled with the palm of the hand or fl y autonomously in space and its spherical shape allows the AtmoSphere to bounce off walls and ceilings for non-stop fl ight. It comes complete with a palm-sized charging cradle making the Atmosphere easy to use and recharge. Available from July 2013, both the AtmoSphere and Hover Assault Eject will be supported by TV campaigns.
