Toys of 2009: Star Wars Science

by Chad Mumm on March 11, 2009 at 02:18 PM


We spent a week at the 2009 New York Toy Fair last month and came away with a renewed desire to be ten years old again. This episode of our Toy Fair series showcases a new line of Star Wars science toys:

Star Wars Science - This new line of toys from Uncle Milton offers educational-ish toys with a 'Star Wars' theme. Aside from the Dagobah frog habitat, the highlight of the line is the new Force Trainer, which uses small metal contacts strategically positioned on your head to sense brain waves that are strongest during times of intense relaxation or meditation. Basically a Star Wars version of the Mattel Mind Flex, the Star Wars Force Trainer allows you to wirelessly levitate a ping-pong ball with a small mind-activated fan.

It's still cool enough to merit a viewing though, so check out the video. (Available in August, $130; unclemilton.com)
