I tested the most OVERKILL Toys

Surprisingly fast and fun, but fiddly to build and quickly beaten by more exciting toys.

Powerful, accurate and very fun with loads of accessories, but reloading was unreliable.

Easily the best 3D pen he has used and surprisingly good, though not thrilling enough for the podium.

A chef tester found it too thick, uncomfortable and too slow to harden for 3D shapes.

Used as the comparison for the hover shoes, praised for being easier to carry.

Really fun and fast, but heavy and far less portable than Heelies.

Technically impressive, but the games are poor and he has no idea who it's for at that price.

A cool AR proof of concept with low latency, but it doesn't improve board games enough to recommend.

Overpriced, with weak speakers, a poor screen and dodgy sensors; he asks who would want it.

Won the podium; a beautifully designed, genuinely useful learning tool that he thinks is a good investment.

Infrared hand tracking corrects posture mistakes instantly and adds a lot to the piano.

The coolest chess set he has used and takes second place, but not something he'd recommend to most people.

Pretty great, with Hall effect sticks, but not a generational leap over the Steam Deck, with poor trackpad and short battery life.

A niche, absurdly expensive blaster, but he called it the best nine seconds of his life.
