MSRP: $18.95 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 25393 This deluxe edition of Hover Hockey features a nearly frictionless puck across any smooth surface. The puck hovers about a millimeter in the air, while its soft rubber bumper protects it from shock and allows it to bounce off objects and angle off in a new direction. This set contains two turbofan pucks, four puck strikers, and two white plastic goals. 9/21/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $19.95 Age: 13 and up Category: Remote Controlled ToyDirectory Product ID#: 25392 The Robocar Jr. features a rotating front wheel carriage that allows it to spin in 360 degrees in either direction, providing traction even when it's on its side or upside down. When the car gets stuck, simply rotate the front axle to free it or change direction. Flashing LED lights in the rear hubs and in the cockpit add a touch of exuberant fun. — “Our best seller right now is the RC Stunt Robocar Jr. from Geospace,” Jason Curtis of Funtopia in Middletown, Ca., told TDmonthly in October 2009 when discussing best-selling hobby and R/C products. “It’s a great R/C for younger kids, too. It’s not too complicated.” 9/21/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  Category: Water Activities ToyDirectory Product ID#: 23943 Submerge an Aqua Cannon just beneath the surface of a pool or lake. Then, grasping the two cutout handles, give it a quick pull backwards and out shoots a 1”-diameter geyser of water as far as 30 feet! You can splash unsuspecting sunbathers with a torrent of water, or try to hit other swimmers in mock battles. Or create contests to see who can shoot water the furthest, highest or most accurately. And never worry about breaking it; it’s practically indestructible and has no moving parts. Winner of a prestigious Dr. Toy Award. Comes in assorted colors. 5/29/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  Category: Water Activities ToyDirectory Product ID#: 23942 The Aqua Pump Rocket Jr. can be used in and around water. Load the foam rocket, then pump the launcher and watch it fly up to 100 feet. Waterproof construction means kids and now engage in pool battles and lakeside distance contests. Like the regular Pump Rocket Jr., it features rockets with do-no-harm foam noses and Thrust Booster™ for added flight time and distance. Set includes two launchers and four rockets. 5/29/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 23941 The Pop 'n Catch™ is excellent for improving eye-hand coordination. Place the ping pong like ball into the basket, pull the trigger, and watch as the ball catapults out like a cannonball. One person can fire it straight up and then try to scoop it up with the basket. Two people can aim the launchers toward each other and play catch. Made of long-lasting, non-marking polymers. Includes one ball and two launchers. 5/29/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  Category: Aircraft ToyDirectory Product ID#: 23257 Based on a military reconnaissance drone, this micro copter is easy to maneuver and can hover or move up, down or laterally. Launch date: February 2009. 4/14/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $49.99 Age: 5 and up Category: Vehicles - Small Toy  Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 23256 Kids don't have to drive their parents up the wall anymore ... now they can transfer their energy straight to this super cool Gecko RC car. It can travel horizontally or vertically for fun in all dimensions. Launch date: February 2009. 4/14/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $6.99 Age: 8 and up Category: Animal Figures ToyDirectory Product ID#: 22298 Harnessing high-tech magic, when kids drop the strange “egg” into a container of water, all manner of foaming bubbles and fizz whoosh through the void. When it’s finished, a small creature of unknown origin and form lies at the bottom. It should be picked up and placed into another jar of water. Slowly, fantastically, it begins to grow, and within three days, it’s three times bigger. "These 'Freaks of Nature' aren't just any typical animal. They are wacky cross-breeds. Including a Horsefly (a fly with the head of a horse), a Bullfrog (a frog with the head of a bull), a Catfish (you guessed it, a fish with the head of a cat) and more," Aaron Ackert, sales manager for Geospace International, told TDmonthly. Launch date: April 2009. 1/30/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $9.99 Age: 13 and up Category: Water Activities ToyDirectory Product ID#: 22297 This aquatic version of the old game “hot potato" is irresistibly fun for the whole family. Here’s how it works: Fill a balloon with water and set it inside the AQUA TIMEBOMB's “cage.” Wind up the timer spring and start passing the “bomb” around. But be quick! You don’t want to be the one caught holding it when it explodes and the water balloon splashes all over the unlucky player. "This game can be played right out of the box, since 10 water balloons are included. AQUA TIMEBOMB™ is a new twist on a familiar game concept that everyone will enjoy and instinctively know how to play," Aaron Ackert, sales manager for Geospace International, told TDmonthly. Launch date: April 2009. 1/30/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $19.99 Age: 4 and up Category: Outdoor Fun ToyDirectory Product ID#: 22296 The waterproof AQUA AUTO LAUNCHER shoots four air-powered foam rockets. It looks like the RAPID LAUNCHER, but its automatic turret design requires no manual hand rotation. With each full-pump action, a new rocket is launched quickly, up to 100 feet in the air. Its amazing pump and Patented Thrust Booster make AQUA AUTO LAUNCHER more powerful than other models for greater distance and fun, especially at the pool or beach. "Part of our ever-expanding PUMP ROCKET series, the new AQUA AUTO LAUNCHER can be used in and around water, and has four assorted-color, safe foam rockets that fly farther than the competition. And now, the head of the launcher rotates on its own, for even more rapid-launching power," Aaron Ackert, sales manager for Geospace International, told TDmonthly. Launch date: April 2009. 1/30/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $9.99 Age: 4 and up Category: Balls ToyDirectory Product ID#: 22295 Kids can toss the SUPER ZINGER™ and send it flying into orbit as it flashes an outrageous show of lights. The SUPER ZINGER™ is a super-fun flying football for children and adults alike. The "jet turbine" tail maximizes distance and velocity, and the three stabilizer wings are designed for throwing tight spirals. It includes replaceable batteries. "Rather than just being a plain and simple football, the soft, foam-constructed SUPER ZINGER™ has special tail wings for improved flight, plus built-in lights that make it ideal for both daytime and nighttime play," Aaron Ackert, sales manager for Geospace International, told TDmonthly. Launch date: April 2009. 1/30/2009 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $79.99 Age: 4 and up Category: Outdoor Fun ToyDirectory Product ID#: 18183 The pogo features patented Jumping Jax technology, rugged rubber T-Springs for exceptional bounce, a wide base and high traction treads for better stability and balance. It can accommodate children weighing up to 62 pounds. The pogo is ideal for all-terrain use, and its non-marring base makes it safe for indoor surfaces. The pogo even makes “ribbit” sounds that are motion activated; but parents can turn off this option with the switch of a button. Launch date: February 2008. 3/28/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $14.99 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 18057 These 3” R/C BOATZ™ use radio-frequency controllers with retractable antennas for greater range and a different radio frequency for each of four available colors. Since each color has its own frequency, all four boats can be operated simultaneously in the same tub or pool. Each features an adjustable rudder. When not in use, the boat is stored in its "garage,” a compartment at the end of the remote control transmitter. Individual boat purchases come in a random color, and the set includes one of each color. All parts come with batteries installed and on/off battery-saving switches. No charging is required. Four extra batteries are included in each package. Launch date: 2005. 3/20/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $14.99 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 18056 The world's smallest remote-controlled tractor-trailer truck, this 2.75" big rig is available in four colors — silver, black, red and blue, each with its own separate I/R (infrared) channel, which allows for simultaneous operation. The tractor and trailer disengage for spectacular crashes. When not in use, the truck can be secured for easy storage to the remote controller, which doubles as a writing pen. All parts come with batteries installed and on/off battery-saving switches. No charging is required. Four extra batteries are included in each package. Launch date: 2005. 3/20/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $12.99 Age: 8 to Adult Category: General Games ToyDirectory Product ID#: 18055 Eight 2”-diameter magnetic wheels include all numerals, along with special wheels containing the operations symbols and the equation symbols.

Easy-Hatch™ tropical fish hatchery lets you bring these amazing eggs to life. The set includes an aquarium with both vented lid and hatching compartment lid, magnifying glass, water dropper, instructions, and a numbered certificate for ordering the killifish eggs, brine shrimp eggs to hatch as fish food and sea salt (requires additional shipping and handling only). Adult supervision required. Launch date: February 2008. 3/20/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $4.99 Age: 8 and up Category: General Games ToyDirectory Product ID#: 18052 This miniature, keychain version of Geospace’s best-selling, award-winning magnetic spin game has eight magnetic wheels (7/8” diameter) that can be removed from the keychain spindle and played just like the original Word Spin. While standing in line, riding the bus, or waiting for an appointment, players can spin and rearrange the wheels to spell words that score high point values. There are 10+ different games for one, two or more players. Launch date: 1996. 3/20/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  Age: 4 to Adult Category: General Games ToyDirectory Product ID#: 18051 These amazing magnetic marbles were actually launched aboard a U.S. space shuttle as part of NASA’s “Toys in Space II” project. Creative minds will be challenged by these colorful marbles that cling together to create pyramids, rings and other geometric shapes. 3/20/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $6.99 Age: 4 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 17803 With cool music and flashing lights, our Laser Spin Deluxe is a spinning top fit for the 21st century. Twist the detachable winder several times, then push the release button. Now the top takes on a life of its own, whirling at hundreds of revolutions per minute, emanating a constantly changing cavalcade of laser-like lights (in star, chevron, and heart patterns), all to the beat of an up tempo tune. Kids are bedazzled for hours by all the wondrous sights and sounds. This ain’t your grandma’s simple wood top…it’s a whole new animal, pulsing with energy! 2/29/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $9.99 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 17802 Using the same principle as our enormously popular HOVER HOCKEY™ game, HOVER SOCCER™'s cleverly designed turbofan lifts the “ball” about a millimeter above any hard smooth surface (table, floor, patio, sidewalk, driveway). Now get set for hours of intense action as players use strikers to direct the turbofan ball across the “field.” Pass to a teammate. Set up a scoring play. Defend against an opponent’s attack. But most satisfying of all…slam the ball into the…GOAL! The ball has soft, non-marking edges that won’t mar furniture. Set includes two goals, two ball strikers, and one turbofan balls. Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included) for the turbofan ball. 2/29/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $35.99 Age: 5 and up Category: Sporting Goods & Accessories ToyDirectory Product ID#: 17801 This new version of WALKAROO Stilts adjusts to three different heights, and is lighter in weight and less expensive than the original. The ergonomically correct design allows a “stilt-ist” to walk in a more natural, upright position that encourages play. They’re made of sturdy aluminum (instead of the steel used in Walkaroo I), which makes them easier to carry and quicker to maneuver. As kids gain balancing skills, they can move the footrests higher for more challenge. WALKAROO II also features non-marking, no-slip rubber feet and footrests and comfortable foam cushioning on the handles and shoulder rests. The stilts can accommodate any child or adult weighing up to 100 pounds. 2/29/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $79.99 Age: 2 to 6 Category: Sporting Goods & Accessories ToyDirectory Product ID#: 17800 An intriguing cross between a scooter and a bicycle is also a “graduation step” between trikes and bikes. RUNAROO “running bicycles” create a new category of wheeled fun and adventure. Kids balance on two wheels, such as a conventional bike, but propel it by pushing along with their feet, such as a scooter. Once kids gain confidence and proficiency on a RUNAROO Running Bike, they’ll easily transition to a pedal-driven bike. The two models have height-adjustable handlebars and seat, fenders to prevent splash-ups and polymer-spoked wheels. The Deluxe model has a hand-brake (on the Standard model, kids slow down by dragging their feet), kickstand and foot-platform in front of the seat. THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. 2/29/2008 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $29.99 Age: 5 and up Category: Sporting Goods & Accessories ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11654 This backyard favorite measures 32” in diameter and is suitable for both kids and adults.

They are perfect for multiple skips on the water surface at the pool, beach or lake. Launch date: February 11, 2007. 2/27/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $5.50 Age: 4 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11652 Kids use the winder to rotate one or both of the Spins at nearly supersonic RPMs. They can try to balance one on top of the other, or see who can spin the longest and farthest. The Spins feature LEDs that dazzle and sparkle for a mini fireworks display. Launch date: February 11, 2007. 2/27/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $29.99 Age: 4 and up Category: General Toys Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 11651 This turbo-twisting radio-controlled vehicle is a combination of robot and car — a dual-personality wonder that will intrigue children with its unique design. When the body is uncoiled, it becomes a robot, and when coiled up, changes back into a racecar. It performs the usual car tricks via the remote’s two toggles, but also has a secret stunt mode that pivots the front axle with lighted wheels, turning the RoboCar into a trick master. Launch date: February 11, 2007. 2/27/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $5.99 Age: 4 and up Category: Water Activities ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11650 This disc is made of a cool blend of closed and open-cell foam that make it the life of the party at a beach or pool. Users simply hold it under water for a few seconds, and then sling it away. As it spins, the stored water flings outward from centrifugal force, soaking everyone around with a refreshing mist. Launch date: February 11, 2007. 2/27/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $49.99 Age: 6 and up Category: Aircraft ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11649 This easy-to-fly twin-prop R/C airplane features a super lightweight motor and a body and wings composed of an amazingly crash-proof flexible compound called EPP. It comes with a two-channel digital-proportional controller, which requires six AA batteries and serves as the recharger for the onboard energy cell. Ten minutes of charging provides about three to four minutes of mesmerizing flight time. Launch date: February 11, 2007. 2/27/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $3.50 Age: 6 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11648 The Super Gyro takes spinning tops to a whole other level. The clear plastic dome holds a microprocessor with a bank of four colored LED lights. Children just rapidly move the rubber base along a floor or table and let it go, watching it whirl and balance for minutes at a time while flashing 32 combinations of blue, green, yellow and red pulsating lights. The choreographed stroboscopic light show mesmerizes both kids and adults in the dark and in daylight. Launch date: February 11, 2007. 2/27/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $39.99 Age: 8 and up Category: General Toys Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 11382 Stilts have been enjoyed by children and adults for centuries. Perhaps it’s the instant boost in height. Or the physical challenge of balancing and walking. Or the outrageous fun. Whatever the reason, stilts are a perennial favorite around the world. Now, Geospace has taken the basic stilt design and made it a whole lot better — easier to learn, easier to use, more ergonomically correct and more fun. Launch date: May 15, 2007. 2/8/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $9.99 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11381 Wanna know a little secret? Kids (and more than a few adults) can’t resist playing HOVER HOCKEY™. There’s just something intriguing and exciting about flipping the switch on the turbofan motor and watching the disc hover about a millimeter above the table. Now nearly frictionless, it can speedily flash across any smooth surface — hopefully straight into the opponent’s goal. Any table or non-carpeted smooth floor makes a perfect arena for our game. The disc’s soft rubber bumper protects it from shock and allows it to carom off objects and angle away in new directions. Each set includes the disc, two disc strikers, and two cardboard goals. Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Watch Toy Fair demo video 2/8/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $35.00 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11380 GLIDES™ give kids some pep in their step, and a reason not to balk when someone says “Walk!” They’re a brand new kind of skating experience, and a cool way to travel. With GLIDES™ strapped to their feet, a slight backward weight shift lifts them on to a set of two polyurethane wheels that propel them across the earth as if they were “floating.” Skating motions keep the momentum going, and to slow down, stop, or continue walking, kids just tip forward onto their soles. GLIDES™ are fun, they’re fast, and (don’t tell kids this) they provide a great little workout. Heel skates have been around for a while, but had several drawbacks. For one, the wheel was built into the sole of an expensive shoe, so when they wore out or kids outgrew them, that was the end of them. Our one-size-fits all GLIDES™ use a comfortable, wrap-around enclosure that’s designed to fit any shoe so kids can’t outgrow them! Plus, having two larger wheels on each foot, instead of a single small one, increases stability and control. They are small enough to fit easily into a backpack. THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. 2/8/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $39.99 Age: 6 and up Category: Remote Controlled ToyDirectory Product ID#: 11379 It’s an awesome feeling. As you push the stick on the infrared transmitter, the EASY-COPTER™’s dual rotors start spinning. Then, when they reach a certain RPM, as if defying gravity, the craft lifts vertically into the air and sets off like a flash. It’s a thing of sheer beauty the way you control its every movement. Make it hover in mid air like a dragonfly. Or send it whooshing across the living room, arcing left or right, like a hummingbird. Most remote-controlled helicopters are big, heavy and expensive. And you never want to crash them. Our new EASY-COPTER™ is tiny, incredibly light, and affordable. Plus, it can withstand repeated crash landings. How did they do it? By using a new space-age material, called EPP, that looks like (and is as light as) Styrofoam but far more durable and flexible. And with miniature motors much lighter and more powerful than previously possible. There’s never been a more flyable chopper at this price! The transmitter requires 6 AA batteries. EASY-COPTER™’s on-board energy-cell recharges through the transmitter, which provide enough juice for several minutes of flying per charge. Three channels allow three choppers to fly together, dodging and intercepting each other like birds of prey. Watch Toy Fair demo video 2/8/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 9613 Like a walk on the moon, our AIR KICKS™ and KICKAROOS™ seem to defy gravity with every fun-filled step.

Slide the safe, foam JUMP ROCKET™ onto its launch tube, and aim the new pivoting launch base toward the target. 10/4/2006 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $24.00 Age: 4 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 9611 These astonishing mini muscle cars morph from two dimensions to three at the push of a button.

With 8 different electronic sounds plus a light show, the SUPER SONIC ZOOMEROO is the best and most fun flying boomerang ever for children and adults. 3 air whistles also make whizzing sounds during flight! Includes replaceable batteries. 1/6/2006 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $16 Age: 4 and up Category: Outdoor Fun ToyDirectory Product ID#: 6371 Look! Up in the air! It's not one rocket, or two, or three! It's a squadron of up to four streaking across the sky in various trajectories. In one of our hottest toy categories, this is the ultimate, the one every junior astronaut will want to own. Its launching pump is bigger and more powerful than in previous models, so rocketsl soar up to 100 feet in the air! 1/6/2006 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $14.00 Age: 6 and up Category: Sporting Goods & Accessories ToyDirectory Product ID#: 6370 Kids simply slide the safe foam Jump Rocket onto its launching pad, jump up and land on the hemisphere-shaped air pump, and watch it blast off to a height of up to 150 feet. A new patented Thrust Booster doubles the flight distance of previous versions. It is perfect for junior astronauts and parents who want to amaze all the neighbors. It includes an air pump, launch pad and three soft foam rockets. “The Jump Rocket is a very strong product for us,” Dennis Binkley, president of Geospace International, told TDmonthly. — “We have great flying toys. In fact, I think I’m reincarnated from a 7-year-old boy. I just love them!” raved Harriet Story, owner of Leaping Lizards! In Mineral Point, Wis. “We have great rockets.” — “Land rockets, all the types that you pump with your foot, are good,” affirmed Markie Carlson, owner of Children’s Gift Shop in Northfield, Ill. — Toy City in Keene, N.H., sells about 50 to 70 Jump Rockets per month, Owner Steve Levy told TDmonthly in July 2008. 1/6/2006 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $15.00 Age: 5 and up Category: General Toys ToyDirectory Product ID#: 6369 The World’s Smallest Remote Control Racer!

JUMPAROOs™ rewrite the book on this classic, high-energy play. They use the same lively jumping technology as our fantastic AIR KICKS™ anti-gravity boots: patented, exceptionally rugged rubber T-Springs that bounce an astonishing 2 feet in the air! Unlike other pogos, JUMPAROO™ is stable and easy to balance on, thanks to its wide, high-traction base. Even first timers can bounce or travel nearly indefinitely without falling off. Which means more fun and exuberant exercise! And steering is a snap: users just move the adjustable-height "joystick" in the direction they wish to travel.

ZING ‘N SWING™ is safe and easy enough for a five year old, and challenging enough for even the most seasoned hitter. GEOSPACE INTERNATIONAL has included an instructional video featuring an experienced baseball coaching professional to provide a few helpful tips on the art of hitting. Also included with the ZING ‘N SWING™ is a padded catchers glove, a 27-inch bat, a vinyl home plate, with instructions and a game booklet highlighting four different hitting games: Batting Cage, Strikeout Derby, Homerun Derby, and Major League Slugger. Best of all, your game doesn’t have to be cancelled due to the rain! Because the ball is threaded through the pitching device, there are no foul balls to wreck indoor furniture! GEOSPACE’s ZING ‘N SWING™ Pro Trainer is what we like to call a grand slam in the world of fun! Try it out and declare it a “hit” for yourself! 1/27/2005 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $13.50 Age: 6 to Adult Category: General Games ToyDirectory Product ID#: 2484 WORD SPIN™ Awards Include: CREATIVE TOY AWARDS SEAL OF EXCELLENCE By Creative Child Magazine BEST MIND GAME OF THE YEAR by American MENSA, Ltd, the High IQ Society GAME OF THE YEAR By the Australian Toy Association BBC-TV GOOD TOY GUIDE By British Broadcasting Company OPPENHEIM GOLD SEAL By Oppenheim Toy Portfolio THREE STAR TOY SEAL By Canadian Toy Council PARENT’S CHOICE HONORS By Parent’s Choice 1/27/2005 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $20.00 Age: 4 and up Category: General Games ToyDirectory Product ID#: 2483 These cleverly designed and engineered, kid-safe missiles encourage the study of flight and science through active play.
