There’s no doubt that Hexbug miniature robotic creatures have caught the imaginations of kids all over the world. Their semi see-through bodies with intriguing glimpses of the internal mechanisms and electronics have been of extra appeal. That’s only half the attraction however, with their erratic and fascinating movement routines being as equally eye catching.
The clever Hexbug animated movements almost perfectly mimic the real creatures, and some domestic pets have been fooled into thinking they are the real thing! Powered by miniature watch batteries, Hexbugs use a combination of light and sound to control their movements. With an ever increasing number of bugs to choose from, they’ve taken on a cult following amongst certain collectors.

Choose from Hexbug Originals, Inchworms, Crabs or Ants, all supplied in a variety of colours. Some kids prefer the Spiders, Larvae, or Nanos, whilst Hexbug Scarab has a reputation as the really aggressive one! Various habitats are made to keep control of your Hexbugs; the Bridge Battle Habitat Set is one of the largest and can house a multiple selection of Hexbugs on several layers.
