HEXBUGs Are Super Cool For Easter Baskets!
Friday, March 26th, 2010Robyn’s Online World blog featured the entire HEXBUG line as great alternative Easter gifts:
I would even have to agree with Taylor on this one and go for the super cool Hexbug! It might be small, but it is mighty in it’s fun. Don’t think they are just for the kids either, adults (like me) love these little robotic creatures just as much as the younger ones. While the bunny is super cute, what am I really going to do with it? Plus the Hexbug is a fantastic alternative to candy - do we really need to buy our kids all that chocolate and sugar? The Hexbug I can keep out and play with 365 days a year!

Nano & Ant: Creepy crawlers of the future
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Engadget visited our booth at the New York Toy Fair and wrote up a quick review along with a bunch of photos.
Okay, so it isn’t as artsy as making gooey bugs in a miniature oven, but HexBug’s little micro-robotic tchotchkes are a good time in their own right. The digital entomologists at HexBugs decided to unleash the new Ant Micro and Nano Newton at New York City’s Toy Fair, and for some peculiar reason we were quite enamored with watching these autonomous, high speed creatures run around the carpeted show floor.
Nano and Ant get covered by Woot.com
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010The Woot.com Blog is covering Toy Fair 2010, and gives their take on the HEXBUG Nano & Ant.
The Nano’s also are collectable, and give you points that you can use on the website to… win at robots, or something. Maybe eventually you’ll be able to redeem them for Cobra Commander. We didn’t really take good notes. But we did get to enjoy the Ant!

Will robotic Valentines appeal?
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Online publication Compute Scotland contemplate in their article:

HEXBUG on Make Magazines Holiday Gift Guide
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009HEXBUG Nano and the rest of the HEXBUG product line had a quick mention on Make Magazine’s Holiday Gift Guide among a bunch of other robotic toys.
Another year, another profusion of robot kits, toys, and showy humanoids demo’d by entertainment conglomerates and big car companies. The more things change, the more they stay the same. It wasn’t a huge leap year for the evolution of robokind, but there are definitely plenty of new tools and toys to play with, and plenty of perennial favorites, too. Let’s have a look…
