Dual band control means two spiders can be used at the same time.

Take one step or many, turn quickly or slowly, it’s up to you. The Hexbug Spider has one LED eye that lights up when it turns and there’s five different colours to choose from too! The dual band control also means that two spiders can be used at the same time in case you wanted to stop beating up your lego men and pit two Spiders against each other instead.

With six robotic legs and a head that rotates through 360 degrees, the level of control you have over your Hexbug Spider is fantastic. If you’re still into Lego, then you can also use the Hexbug Spiders to wreak havoc in your tiny Lego world or battle it out with someone else who’s got one of these Hexbugs as well.

Of course, it’s a whole lot creepier and can’t remotely turn your smartphone on for you, but you could use it for entertainment purposes. If you thought the App Control Desk Pets would make an awesome addition to your office desk, then you’d probably also like the Hexbug Spider.
