More highlights from FunFare’s Holiday 2009 print issue…

Star Wars AT-ST Walker
Keep this amazing new Star Wars vehicle away from Ewoks and Wookiees! Hasbro’s new Walmart-exclusive version of the Scout Walker is the best yet, with room for two pilots and huge and poseable legs for greater movie accuracy. Ages 4+, $39.99, Hasbro

Air Hogs Switchblade
The Switchblade can switch up its flying style (there are no blades). With a whopping 17-inch wingspan, it’s like having two vehicles in one—it flies like a model plane and hovers like a UFO! Ages 8+, $69.99, Spin Master

GX Racers 360 Spinway
The GX Racers are powered by interchangeable gyros that spin at more than 12,000 RPM. That means you just rev them up and let ’em rip on the Spinway, a two-sided obstacle challenge with lots of twists and turns. Ages 6+, $19.99, Jakks Pacific

FlyTech CrashFX
Love making R/C planes crash into each other, but hate gluing them back together? These innovative planes actually embrace the guilty pleasure of midair collisions with an Easi-Snap magnetic system: the wings and tail section break off and clip right back on. Ages 8+, $19, WowWee

Tyco R/C Stunt Psycho
There is no wrong way to play with this rugged R/C. Slam it into walls and it just flips over. Indoors and out, it performs a range of cool stunts, like wheelies and spins. If that’s psycho, then sign us up for somepsychotherapy! Ages 8+, $49.99, Mattel

Automoblox Minis
Each wooden car in the oxymoronic but awesome “future-retro” Automoblox line comes with a range of interchangeable parts, which all can be mixed and matched with other models so kids can design and build their own vehicles. Choose from the full-sized versions (above, in the foreground), or the Minis (in the background), each with their own cool colors and custom parts! Ages 3+, $10+, Automoblox Co. (distributed by Manhattan Toy)
