I scared my brother-in-law in 12 seconds.

I set the gecko on the carpet, flicked the controller, and watched it scurry across the floor. Then up the wall. LED eyes lit up. My brother-in-law walked out of the kitchen, saw a lizard hanging in mid-air, and dropped his wine glass. Twelve seconds.

The HEX BOTS Wall Crawler moves like something alive. Hard plastic body, silicone limbs and tail, full function remote control, 25 ft range. The LED eyes glow in the dark. One USB cable included. Needs 2 AAA batteries, not included.

It runs across the floor, then climbs the wall. The same way a real gecko does, but with eyes that light up.

Built for kids 4 to 6. The screaming, however, is not age-limited.
