Losing a stuffed toy can be a heartbreaking. An esteemed colleague here at gadgetshop HQ lost his treasured Monkey from the ITV Digital tv ads and practically couldn’t speak for a week. Now there is an alternative if this fate should befall you. Blue is the upfront, out-there lead singer (and therefore frontman) of the C’mons, the Barcelona ‘band’ that so epitomised the spirit and style of a certain small car that they were selected to appear in its recent set of TV ads.

Like all frontmen, Blue has a certain confident swagger. But just give this soft cuddly toy a squeeze and you’ll hear him utter the inimitable phrase ‘C’mon!’ in his own unique style. Blue works as a freelance photographer and says his perfect morning is “waking up with a beautiful woman, her scent mixed with sunlight.” And we couldn’t put it better ourselves, frankly.

There are five quirky yet strangely irresistible C’mons to choose from - Cherrie (guitars), Red (bass), Moo (piano/keyboard), Blue (frontman and lead singer) and White (drums), each a faithful replica of the characters from the TV ads, and each equally idiosyncratic. Buy one and pop it at the end of your bed, two for the parcel shelf of your Corsa, or all five and strap ‘em in the back. The choice is yours - just don’t expect them to behave.

 You may wish to recall the legendary Aesop’s fable about the Tortoise and the Hare at this point. In the race between them, the hare rushed off, getting into all manner of japes and scrapes, and, thinking himself assured of victory, was blas? to say the least. Meanwhile, the tortoise plodded on. And, of course, slow but steady won the race. So it is in life, apparently, as anyone who has done a long distance drive will tell you. Stopping for that ‘petrol and pee’ break seriously slows you down. Now, these Turbo Tortoises may change your view, or confirm it. For they’re scarcely about to challenge Lewis Hamilton in his supercharged McLaren Mercedes. But it’s their sheer dogged determination that appeals to us here in the lab at gadgetshop HQ. There’s something truly indomitable about their spirit. And we like it, whatever it is.

The best way to enjoy the antic of these half-shelled speed freaks is to do what comes naturally. Simply wind them up and let them go. Hilarious. With two, there’s double the trouble. They’re simply cute. And simply perfect for young gadgetshoppers.

This funky little tank has a mind of its own! It doesn’t need a track to guide it; just a simple black line. Draw any shaped track with the enclosed marker pen, switch the tank on and watch it follow the line.

Two photoreceptors on the bottom of the tank will follow wherever the line leads (no coloring on the floor, kids!) This is the equivalent of a 21st century train set - great fun - but better! You can make the track go anywhere you want (well anywhere that you can get away with drawing on with a marker that is).

We had great fun with a couple of old rolls of wallpaper, trying to draw the longest, curviest and wackiest line to try to trick the tank but it was way too clever for us! The Inductive Tank is a perfect gift for kids and big kids alike - it will provide hours and hours of amusement.

Features:

• Grippy rubber treads
• No remote control required!
• Colors may vary.

• Tank

Seeing as though we have stuff just for boys on here, it’s fair enough for us to use a bit of gender stereotyping every now and then! So guys, this one is just for you and your testosterone!!

This Mini Forklift is so cool it’s more fun than the real thing – really! We promise you can kill hours at work just shifting stuff around your desk with this Mini Forklift. It has three forward speeds and one reverse, full R/C control over the lift and lower of the forks – including top-tilt and anti-tipping, and realistic little driving lights.

The life-like features will make you think you’re a real-life forklift driver and the remote has funky little red lights for full effect. The only thing it’s lacking are the noises…but we’re pretty sure you can make do there!
