The blog ‘How did I ever live without it?’ named HEXBUGs their toy of the week on Saturday, March 6.
There is the Original, which resembles a roach, an inchworm, a crab, and the nano. We have a couple of the nanos. They are pretty cool and always a favorite among E-Rays friends when they come over to play.

Engadget 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.
The 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!

HEXBUG 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…
