HEXBUGBattleBots Remote Control Witch Doctor

Bring out the child in you and get these bots by this company. Very well made and responsive to control. Only caveat is you cannot turn off the remote controller to save the button battery power. The bot can be turned off/on but by a button so once you push it try the remote and if it doesn't respond, it is off.Also - when received the button batteries were bad in the remote and had started to leak. Fortunately they did no harm and new batteries worked.

my kiddos(big and small) love this toy!! they have played with it for hours and hours. none of the issues that others have mentioned. i watched to pro tips video on you tube and it taught me the correct way to pair them to the remotes-so no issue there either!! Will be purchasing the other robots and the arena for christmas!! His weapon stopped spinning but was an easy fix. These guys are easy to take apart and trouble shoot. We took the smaller pieces and put them away unless we are all paying attention LOL they were lost(and found) the first battle!!

This is the classic Witch Doctor from the Season I days. HEXBUG also makes a more modern Witch Doctor paired with Bronco, and I've seen it sold here on Amazon recently if that's what you're looking for.

I ordered this for my grandson's gift. He was so excited when he opened it two days ago. BUT It doesn't work and the instructions are hard to read and are they don't tell you much. I tried for over an hour to get it to work: changed the original batteries direction, new batteries, walked away for a bit to try again, try to make the direction make sense, nothing. Very disappointed customer. How can you do this to a child?? You should be ashamed.

Buyer beware! This has probably been sitting on a stock shelf for a very long time. Box was intact when it arrived, but controller would not pair. Opened it up to check batteries and found significant corrosion. Tried new batteries...still didn't work. Tried a new controller from a different hex bug battlebot and it worked fine so it is just the controller that is damaged. Love the bot so I'm hoping the manufacturer can replace the controller, still a big disappointment on arrival.

This is an older bot but was more powerful than some of our newer models. Destructive AF

Not sure about other people's reviews/experience, but what I received was exactly as stated in the description. It IS the remote control one that you can "battle" against other Hexbug BattleBots. See picture, pen for scale. My 9 yr old son loves the Battlebots TV show, so he really wanted these things. He loves battling it against the other bots. At $15.99 here on Amazon when I purchased it, compared to retail at Toys R Us, etc, its a clear steal!

Once you learn how to maneuver its so fun
