Ostilia™ Transforming RC Car

Ha! My son and I stood this red robot on the kitchen table and I was laughing like a kid.

Zoom! My five-year-old has the blue car going straight down our apartment hallway, with his legs racing after it. The hardwood gives him such a good stretch for driving.

Well, this yellow car has made wrapping duty rather fun. I am holding it over my kitchen table, and it looks every bit as bright as I hoped. My grandson loves cars and robots, so having both in this little package feels just right for him. It is a lovely size in my hands, too, with plenty of car to admire.

Honestly, the red robot looks right at home beside the toy bin in my nephew's bedroom. I love how the doors spread out like wings instead of it just looking like a car tipped on end. The chest gives it a proper little robot shape, and it stands up nicely on his low carpet. This is the part I wanted from a car that changes: something fun to look at after the change, too. It has that ready-for-action look without needing a screen.

Yep, sofa selfie with my nephew's black car. This gift looks seriously cool!

Finally, a race without the remotes getting crossed! My sons have their yellow cars going across our kitchen tile together. Each car follows its own remote, just as it should.

Okay, I get why my little brother loves having the remote to himself. We sat down on the playroom mat with the red and blue car in front of us, and the change button is so straightforward. A press gives you that whole standing-up moment. Such a fun little control to put in a five-year-old's hands.

Look at the red robot next to my son's sneaker in the front hall. That is the size comparison I wanted when I was shopping, rather than another close-up with nothing beside it. It stands about 7.5 inches tall, so it feels like a proper little floor toy without taking over the hallway. Even with the coats hanging behind it, your eye goes straight to the robot. The shape has real presence at kid level, and that is exactly what I wanted.

Goodness, that grin says it all. Showing off my grandson's blue robot from the sofa!

Whoa, the blue car is a blur in this picture! Those spins look fantastic on our basement playroom's vinyl floor. It puts on quite a little show for the kids.

Click, and back into a car it goes. Here the black robot is standing at the foot of our stairs, with my son on the bottom step holding the remote. That reverse change is just as satisfying as standing it up. I love that it is not a one-way trick, since the same button takes it right back to driving shape.

Evening really gives the lights their moment. The yellow robot is standing on my den rug with the lamps low, and the red and blue glow catches your eye immediately. I especially like seeing the light underneath it on the floor as well as in the eyes. It makes the robot feel lively even while it is standing still. This is the look I hoped for when I picked it, a bright little robot that is just as fun to admire as it is to drive.
