Advantages: Great fun RC toy even for big boys.

Disadvantages: Novelty may be short lived.

I have a problem. I am a Doctor Who fan. It damages my pockets and my storage space.

When i saw the Remote Controlled K9 in Toys R Us at the bargain price of £19.99 I knew it had to be mine (RRP £39.99).

Rushing home my new purchase hungrily grasped in my clammy hands I was thankful I had read the box where it told me "Battery for display purposes only" as it required a full new set of 4 AA and 1 9v batteries.

The box has this whole new innovative (read annoying) new packaging design which means that without the right size screwdriver you will never free your toy. Luckily I had one and quickly assemble the remote and employed the screwdriver again in changing the batteries.

Placing K9 on the floor I was ready to roll. The toy is nippy resposive and rather cutely has a little start up speech when you turn him on.

The controller works in the style of a tank ie left controls left wheel right controls right. This allows you to spin K9 while spamming the "MAXIMUM DEFENCE MODE" button. Hitting another button extends the gun. Sadly you cant move the little fellow while his gun is extended.

John Leesons voice is perfect and clear and the toy is ideal for chasing toddlers around with. I have the feeling that like my RC Dalek will soon become more of an ornament then a toy, that is ok though as it does look great and at half the price a great bargain.

"REVIEW ENDED>>>MASTER"

Summary: Great buy if you also want a display piece.
