You’ve never seen air-borne toys like these before! New from WowWee are two new FlyTech toys: the Lightstar and Hoverpod will have you flying high as you navigate them through the air or just above the ground with easy-to-use remote controls!


FlyTech Lightstar

Having a flying toy is always cool no matter what age you are, and WowWee aims to impress with the FlyTech Lightstar flyer that features a propulsion-based design with built-in LED lights that are able to recreate a cool glow and halo effect whenever it takes to the skies.

The crash-resistant Lightstar flyer is controlled by a remote that lets you determine theflyer's altitude; the remote control can even take charge of three Lightstar flyers at once!

FlyTech Hoverpod

WowWee’s FlyTech Hoverpod isn’t yet as well known as its Lightstar cousin but once the secret gets out we’re positive it’s going to take the world of flying toys by storm! This model is unique to the brand in that it doesn’t soar through the air but, rather, glides across smooth surfaces effortlessly – even short carpets.


WowWee FlyTech Hoverpod

This micro-hovercraft is made of durable foam and resists most kinds of damage, like accidentally running into doors and walls while it’s being flown. A propeller moves it forward and a rudder steers it in different directions when you use the remote control to send it signals.
