This was the first Hexbug Nano that I purchased, as I have been eying these toys on the store shelves for some time now. This is an intriguing little toy that does what it says it does, it acts like a real bug! I put it on my desk at work and it zips around bumping off of things. This thing is as fast as a real bug, and looks like a small cockroach when it is in motion.
The special skeleton add-on makes it look really cool, but does impact its functionality. Normally, if the Nano gets knocked over on its side or back, it rights itself in about 3-5 seconds. With the skeleton, it changes the weight and shape enough so that usually when it tips on its side, that's it. It is stuck there. Thankfully you can easily take the skeleton piece on and off at will.
The skeleton piece glows in the dark, and it glows VERY well. I have had a lot of glow in the dark toys in my life, and this one is by far the best. It glows very bright, even after being under a light source for only a few seconds. And of course, it looks really awesome when the little glowing skeleton piece is running around in the dark.
The coffin carrying case is a nice touch, and it functions well for both storage and display.
Finally, I wanted to touch on the durability of these things. Usually, when the Nano is running around on my desk, the trip ends with it falling off. It has taken a 3 foot fall off the desk onto carpet and plastic floor covering (for my office chair wheels) and hasn't suffered in the least from any of them. In fact, usually when it falls onto the plastic, it gets back on its feet in seconds, and keeps on running around! The durability comes from the simplicity of the design. There is only 1 moving part, and it is enclosed and supported. I don't want to tell you how it works because that is part of the fun of getting one.
If you are thinking about any of the Nano series, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Although it's just like any other NanoBug HexBug, the 'coffin' case and glow in the dark skeleton (removable) attachment make for a good addition to my two sons Nano collection(which I love to play with as well.) It just stands out and is a cute concept, like the bunny ears and other holiday ones. I am sure any person who is into Hexbug Nano's would enjoy this edition!Mine came quickly, still in the shrinkwrap, brand new, and well shipped from the vendor. We are all very pleased!

After checking these guys out on the shelves we finally gave in a bought one, of course we went with the Halloween edition. They mimic real bugs in several ways and kinda resemble a cockroach when they're in motion. They zoom around often times bump into walls, the cool thing is they can get right back up again.So there are quite a few neat thing about the Halloween edition, first off the little guy comes in a coffin. This is great for display and storage, so it's a two in one there. On his back there's a special skeleton add-on, my only complaint about this is it pops off when he bumps into things. I have heard that it prevents them from getting back up again but I have yet to have any issues with that. His skeleton piece glows in the dark, very well. It only needs a bit of light and it's bright as can be so you'll have no problems watching him zip around.
The durability of the HexBug is great! So overall I think this is a great toy for adults and children alike.
