Cool Bug Toy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son was so excited to unbox this product! We charged it a little and put batteries right away and tried it out! My son loved its tricks and that it wasn't too loud. He liked how it lights up also. His younger sister didn't have trouble playing with it either thought she said it was creepy!

So much fun for the whole fam !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We loved this toy! It was simple to use and seemed to glide effortlessly across the floor. The lights in the eyes were a nice touch. The concept of the toy is cool and it's nice to have a remote control toy that's not a car for a change. We love all hex bot toys.

Jittery creepy crawly fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hex Bots RC exploding centipede is a great alternative remote-control toy that my son and daughter enjoy playing with. Whether chasing each other around the house, or the family pet, my children have a hard time taking turns playing with the centipede. The extra feature of it exploding from ball form to its full length allowed them to play together, helping one another to reattach it to its coiled shape.

Family fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids absolutely loved this insect rc. They are 1, 9 and 3. They loved chasing it and screaming. We have had a few of these from this brand and the fun never ends. We will always purchase these as gifts or for ourselves.

Fun time for my kids AND cats!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is the real deal. Big, creepy, and moves fast -thank God it's not real! My kids, 8 and 11, were thrilled with it and had so much fun with our two kittens who kept trying to attack it (brave cats!). It moves well and does all sorts of moves via remote control. What I liked most, in addition to the creep factor, was the practice my kids got with the hand-eye coordination trying to make it go in certain directions. I also loved the exercise it gave the cats!

Great toy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its actually a lot of fun, and a cool party trick to roll it out and watch it keep going, but depending on your surface its a bit hard to control. I definitely think its a great toy to have though, especially for rainy days inside!

Fun the whole family can enjoy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fun for the whole family. This is so fun to play with, even the dog tries to get in on the fun. As soon as we opened the box everyone was eagerly waiting for their turn to play with it. I love that it charges by USB so I dont have to worry about constantly changing batteries and it actually holds a charge for quite a while before it dies. Its so fun that it starts as a ball and then explodes into a centipede. This is a really fun, easy toy to play with and weve all enjoyed getting to spend time with it. Toys like this are what Id buy again! Definitely recommend this.

Basic remote control
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved how you could start it curled up in a ball and then explode. Unfortunately if you wanted it back into a ball, you had to manually do it. It slithered forward, backwards and veered to either side. Its eyes glowed making it even more enjoyable to use at night. It kept the childrens attention for a few days. I just wish it had more features. I received this product for free in exchange for a honest review.

Neat Toy for Bug Lovers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8-year-old twins have fun scaring their family members by having their Exploding Centipede appear when least expected. The remote control allows them to explode it out of its ball shape and chase cats and humans alike.

Highly entertaining
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this HEX BOTS RC Exploding Centipede in exchange of my honest review. It is a very interesting and entertaining remote controlled toy. My boys ages 4 and 7 had fun playing and chasing it. It moves and wriggles its body like a real centipede. It has an amazing feature where it curls into a circular shape and bursts open surprisingly. I love how kid friendly the remote control is and is easily rechargeable via USB-C. It has a self-play mode, making it highly engaging for kids to watch and chase around.

Quick in action & the kids had fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HEX BOTS Remote Control Explodapede - this scary looking centipede did scare me a bit when I opened the box lol However, my niece & nephew did have fun - laughing and screaming like crazy while playing with this! It's quick in action and the kids can practice their fine motor skill using the remote control. You can also change it to auto mode and it moves on its own. It can also collapse into a ball and pop open and I think the LED eyes are very creepy.

Explosion is pretty epic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] W e love Hex Bots toys and this is actually the second one weve added to our collection we also have the wall climbing one! The RC Exploding Centipede is such a fun toy to play with and our favourite part is definitely the exploding feature when it curls up and suddenly opens. Its also pretty mesmerizing watching it sway around the floor like a real centipede. Its easy to use, works well indoors and outdoors, and I really like that it has auto-play buttons so younger kids can still enjoy it too. The only thing we couldnt fully figure out after playing with it for days was how to make it go perfectly straight with the controls. Other than that, its been a huge hit in our house.

Exploding Centipede!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A creepy crawly centipede is on the loose! My children were screaming in excitement while both of them were running around the house trying to escape the centipede. The Hex Bots RC Exploding Centipede operates with a remote control. Its easy to use and moves quickly across the floor. The best feature was how you can roll it into a ball and it EXPLODES open. Hence the name of the toy! This is a fun toy for every age. Thank you @thisisbutterly and @spinmaster for this free gift!

Creepy, crawling fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free from @thisisbutterly and @spinmaster in return for my honest review. Thank you both!! Our kids love this toy, they have a blast with it! Even the neighbour kids came over to check it out and play! It comes with a remote to turn it off, on, and change direction. It's fun to see it flip open from the rolled up position before it scurries on its way! It feels like it's built well, I love the glowing eyes, it provides great entertainment for quite a while, and even when one kid controls it, the other can still have fun running around it! No fighting over "sharing" here! The remote requires two AAA batteries, and the EXPLODAPEDE itself charges via USB C. I highly recommend this toy for any child 4 and up! (Even 'children at heart' adults can have fun with this!) I would absolutely purchase more of these toys in the future! Five fun stars!

So silly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a silly toy! It kept us busy for so long, we were all taking turns and laughing a lot. Its cool that it goes from side to side and its not the standard RC type car that just goes forward or backwards. We all had fun with it.

Rolls into a ball
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son was excited about this toy: "Its perfect for pranking my sisters". He likes creepy animal toys and this one is awesome because it's moved by a remote control. He found another unexpected feature of the centipede - it can be rolled in a ball and then exploded to start slithering. He turns it into a ball all the time, it looks impressive.

Fun exploding centipede
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hex bots RC Exploding centipede is pretty cool! Anything with an rc controller is a hit in our household. You can drive the centipede back and forth and also roll it up, clip it together and press the center button to have it explode and then start crawling around the room! It seems pretty well built and isnt as loud as some other crawling toys have been in the past.

Hard to control
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not like this toy at all. I found it very hard to control. The remote was very counter intuitive. You couldnt make it sto easily so it was always running into things. Its a good idea poorly executed

Hex Bolt
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HEX BOTS RC Exploding Centipede is a really fun and unique RC toy. The crawling movement looks realistic and the exploding feature makes it entertaining for kids and adults. Controls are easy to use and its great for prank-style fun. Battery life could be a little longer, but overall its a cool toy and definitely different from the usual RC cars.

Your Kids have so much fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved how creepy it was and how quick it moved, he also loved how iypu could roll in a ball and it open up and runoff the couch, like a real bug would. I would definitely buy another toy like this if anything happens to his and even going to buy my nephew one for his birthday. My favourite thing about this toy is its USB-C charging which saves the mama on batteries, even though the controller two AAA batteries, Im OK with that. Its awesome how it even lights up. it is one of those toys that my son has had so much fun playing with and play with it all day without any technology, which was fantastic to see.
