Battle Wheels (has sound) are high-speed radio controlled combat warriors who fight to control the universe!

You choose an offensive or defensive pose, and, your weapon, and, go at it one on one, or, with up to 5 other figures. The goal is to hit the button in the center of the robots chest which causes the robots head to pop off. The first robot to lose its head loses the battle.

Each battle warrior comes with five removable pieces of armor, two weapons, a controller, and, a cardboard training dummy.

The website makes them sound kind of violent, but, it's actually pretty funny. We've been enjoying the ones I was sent to try out, but, as with many toys, be prepared to pick up some pieces, and, stock up on batteries, kids of all ages will use them a lot.

Check them out (has sound) here,and, there's even an online Battle Wheels game.

My kids love them, and, Battle Wheels would make a great Christmas gift for an older child who could put them back together, and, who can control a joystick, but, younger kids can play, too, the controls just take a bit of getting used to,and, you may have to help.

They are available at Toys R Us, Target, K-Mart, and, on Amazon.
