The Toy Guyz Review the 3-D Mirascope

The Toy Guyz are finally going to sit down and review one of our best-selling science toys. It's the 3-D Mirascope by the DaMert/Toysmith company and boy is it fun. Create holograms that seem to be completely real and solid. It's a simple little toy but very cool! Most customers, after discovering this one, will buy not one but two.

How does it work? The 3-D Mirascope consists of two parabolic mirrors that are facing each other. The top mirror has a hole in the center where the hologram effect takes place. By setting an object in the bottom parabolic mirror it suddenly is projected as a solid object in the opening of the top mirror. You won't believe your eyes. It looks like you can touch it but it's not there. The 3-D Mirascope set comes with mirascope and frog. The fun starts when you try to find other objects to place in the parabolic mirrors. The Toy Guyz like to put a penny in there so when the kids try to grab the penny their fingers go right through it. The 3-D Mirascope appeals to the kids as well as grown-ups and it's at great price! Only $5.95!

The Toy Guyz give the 3-D Mirascope a 10 out of 10 star rating.

The Toy Guyz love the Cover Your Tracks Game by Think Fun.

The Toy Guyz have been selling Cover Your Tracks at Pure Imagination for over a year now but were reminded recently what a great game this is. It's a little addicting once you get going with it. It's a pretty simple concept also but gets more difficult as you go along. First, kids select one of 20 challenge cards. Each card has foot tracks pictured on the terrain. Place all four pieces on the game tray to cover the foot tracks on the card. The pieces must fit inside the tray like a puzzle. Sound easy? It's not. The game play does get more challenging with each card. Players will put their spatial development skills to the test with each challenge. It's a lot of fun! Kids can play this one by themselves or with a friend of family member.


The Toy Guyz give Cover Your Tracks by Think Fun a 10 out of 10 star rating.

The Toy Guyz Review the Grill Set by Melissa & Doug

The Toy Guyz just went to a wonderful cookout yesterday for Memorial Day. We thought it would only be fitting to review the Grill Set by Melissa & Doug in honor of all great cookouts that we hope everyone will experience this Summer.

One of the great things about the Grill Set by Melissa & Doug is that it appeals a little more to the boys because Dads are typically in charge of the grilling duties. No offense to all of the great grillin' Moms out there. It's fun to watch your kid try to be a "grill master" with this wonderful set. It's designed very well with the wooden box as the base with printed coals on the inside. A clear plastic sheet that looks like the top of the grill easily slides in over the top of the base giving it a 3-D grill effect. Your little chef can create three kabobs by loading the skewers with shrimp, mushrooms, meat, onions, tomatoes and pepper peices. All of the peices are wooden. The Grill Set also comes with a wooden knife and tongs. The Toy Guyz only have one issue with the Grill Set. The wooden skewers are basically two wooden sticks. Please make sure that children do not run with the skewers or put them in their mouth. Other than that it's just a great play food set. It's also a great travel toy because everything fits in the box. Take the Grill Set by Melissa & Doug to your next picnic and watch the kids grill up their own fun!

The Toy Guyz give the Grill Set by Melissa & Doug a 8 out of 10 star rating.
