Remote Control Roary

Rc_roary New from the Roary the Racing Car range comes this fantastic remote control kit. Kids will love controlling Roary with their very own steering wheel – not a conventional remote control for this kind of toy but is what makes it so brilliant. It’s great for little hands to steer him backwards, forwards, left or right and they will love the sound effects and phrases. It’s a fun first remote controlled car and any kid would be excitable at the prospect of playing with it let alone actually owning one. Get yours from The Toy Shop for around £25.
