{2012 Holiday Gift Guide} Toystate 007 Lights & Sound Cars

If you're looking for an exciting action vehicle to put under your tree this holiday season, you will want to check out Toystate's 007 James Bond licensed toy cars.

These cars include lights and sounds that replicate the action from the movie franchise. They are available in various models such as the Mustang Mach 1 from Diamonds are Forever, the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, and the new Aston Martin from the newest movie Skyfall.

We tested out the Secret Agent Aston Martin DB5 model. It came preloaded with batteries for right out of the box play! This vehicle has 4 button options that include lights, music, and driving action. 

One of the buttons activates a secret weapon just like the Bond car in the movie. The headlights and tail lights flash and the vehicle will race backwards and forwards depending on which button you push. We found that this car works best on hard surface floors rather than carpet; it runs slower on carpet.

Here's a video clip of our test run: 
 

 


The whole family has enjoyed playing with this car, including my toddler who you can hear giggling in the video clip.  She loves watching it race across the floor and crash into walls!

There are also R/C versions of some of the cars which range in style and priced $14.99-$54.99. (My son has his eye on the watch remote style.) 

Smart phone inspired controller

Wrist watch style controller

Video Game style controller

These are really fun toys and would make a great gift for children ages 6+!


Where to Purchase: $24.99 at various retailers and Amazon
