The Anti-Gravity WEB RUNNER

We were contacted by a company asking us to review a toy...... of course, I said YES! It sounded like lots of fun for the kitties. A remote controlled black widow spider that uses patent-pending air suction technology, allowing it to operate on the floor, walls and even upside-down! It's an Anti-Gravity WEB RUNNER by Fantasma Toys and it retails for $39.99 at Target, Amazon.com, RadioShack and Fantasma Magic Online Store.
I was so excited when the package arrived. After letting it charge for a bit, I turned it on and watched for the reactions from the cats. I thought the noise of the spider crawling would scare the cats, but it actually got their attention and drew them into the room. I found the wireless controller a tad challenging to navigate, but that's probably because the only remote control I am good at working, is the one to the TV. I couldn't find a way to keep the spider going straight, but the cats loved it when it went in circles. Maya was very intrigued and followed it all over the house and Ziggy liked to stalk it. Ferris on the other hand wanted to chew the legs off. Silly cat!I was very impressed by it's ability to run across the walls. I was afraid the suction noise would scare the cats off, but again, they didn't seem to notice or mind.

In all, we thought this toy was lots of fun and we'll be playing with it often!

That looks like a great toy. Mum is going to see if it is available for shipping to the UK.

I'm glad you enjoyed that spider. I probably wouldn't play with it because it makes noise.

Cory said...

Oh fun! We got one to review as well and we'll be posting our review as well. We had to take a video of Grete barking at it!

OMC, that toy looks like fun! I was wondering if it would be able to walk on my funky plank flooring, but if it can crawl along the walls, who cares?!

We got this toy to review too! But when mom took it out of the box, she was more scared of it than we were...so we haven't played with it yet! We'll get to soon we hope!

That is one big spider and our Mom would be totally terrified of that toy. She hates spiders. It certainly does look like a great toy though. Thanks all you Creek kitties for showing us how it works. Hope you have a great Sunday.

Brian's Home Blog said...

Oh wow, we would like that lots but our humans would want to step on it!!!

Daisy said...

It climbs up the wall?!? COOL!

My Mind's Eye said...

MOL I know a certainly kitty who would love to test that out for you; however, her Mom would freak completely out if she saw that thing on the floor....it looks too real.
Happy Sunday,
Madi and Mom

That toy looks super interesting and fun! I know Jazzie would love it... but me? I am scared of noises or anything different! I no a couple of boys who would love that toy!

Sabrina, Sam and Simon said...

That looks like a pawsome toy, especially since it climbs the wall! And we are really glad the noise didn't bother any of you kitties!
Purrs and headbutts,
