The Zombies Have a New Weapon
There’s no doubt that we’re huge fans of the K’Nex line of toys. Whether we’re building a roller coaster, recreating a world from Super Mario Brothers or battling each other in Plants vs. Zombies, we enjoy building and playing with them as a family. Our girls have discovered a love for creating new things once they’re done with the original sets and even took up making jewelry out of some of the unused K’Nex pieces!
K’Nex has recently expanded on their Plants vs. Zombies line and created something new and unique – motorized remote control K’Nex vehicles!
If you’re familiar with the K’Nex line of toys, you know there are a myraid of sets and kits for any age and interest. These new “Mech” vehicles will appeal to the child that doesn’t want to sit at a table and play. Because these are remote controlled, you can take them almost anywhere!
Both products represent the Zombie faction, so if you’re a Plants fan, you’re in for a bad day. These mechs carry your zombie directly at the Plants line, mercilessly stomping and plowing their way through.
Each are powered by two (not included) AA batteries and take less than a half hour to assemble. Because of the small pieces and the complexity of the moving parts, it is best suited for children over 7. I’m over 7 (just barely) and I have to admit they were quite fun to assemble!
With Black Friday just around the corner, watch for great deals on all K’Nex products. You can find these Mechs on Amazon for around $15, which seems like a bargain for battery-powered toys! Be sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter to see if they come up with something for the Plants to defend themselves!
This is a fun Knex kit to get and give for the Holidays. I like that it does not cost a lot of money. My nephew would be so thrilled to get this for a Christmas present.
Now that does sound to me like a great deal, $15 is pretty cheap. Thanks for letting us know
My kids, my niece, and my nephew love the line of K’nex toys. They get a ton of play out of the ones they have, but I love that these ones are remote controlled, takes it to a while new cool fun level!
I have an 8 year old brother who would love these! He is really getting into K’Nex
I needed a gift idea for my nephew! I think this will do! Thanks!
We have these sets too! They are so much fun!
My kids LOVED kinex when they were younger. I always like finding things that really grab their attention!
Oh my gosh, both of my kids are such big fans of PvZ and Kinex toys too. I think I’m going to add this to my son’s Christmas list. Thanks for the idea!
My son loves K’nex and would enjoy these for sure.
My nephew would love these! Thanks for the ideas!
I really love these new K’nex sets. They are fun for kids but I also enjoy helping my son put them together, so it’s a win-win.
As much as my boys would absolutely love those, my nephew would freak out. He is obsessed with Plants vs Zombies and he loves to build. Best of both worlds.
My kids would love this. I have to check it out.
That is pretty cool. I wonder if my kiddos would like this one
I find that just a little bit creepy. My .Son however would love it.
I’ve had a chance to play with Knex in the past with my boys. I love all the moving parts and the mechanics of them.
