Do you think the future of toys are "connected toys?"

For a few years now, operators of RC toys have had the capability of using smartphones or tablets as controllers.  Here at effyountoys, we've tested many of them and always found them to be more of a gimmick then a credible alternative interface. However, we may be behind the curve.  The Los Angeles Times reported on a company developing a "connected" game that combines tablet/smartphone applications with traditional trading cards.  Think Pokemon meets Angry Birds.  We suspect the digital and virtual playground is just too popular and appealing for the market to ignore.  For manufacturers of actual playground toys - like RC cars and trading cards - their challenge is to merge the experiences. We are looking forward to bigger and better hybrid toys. 

Until then, effyountoys suggests hitting the actual playground with an RC Front Loader.  This is a brand new Radio Controlled Construction Truck. It simulates the true style, look & feel of the real deal. It comes with all the items necessary to get you started for immediate play. At nearly 2 feet long (20 inches), it is quite impressive for young and old alike.  A truck like this is what we recommend for youngsters just beginning with RC toys.  Because the movements are comparatively slow and the truck is so large, it is easier to maneuver than smaller, faster RC toys.

As always...RC toys are better shared.
