Miniature Hexbug cars known as Tagamoto Motorised Vehicles even have their own special track sets, as well as providing a code that interacts between the vehicle and the user. Houses, streets, gardens and other buildings all feature in the interchangeable playsets that can be swapped around to create new designs. Named Bobble Bots, these vibrating plastic Moshi characters also had their own play environments which re-created Monstro City from the online platform. Moshi Monsters were Hexbug’s first foray into licensed products.

Featuring their own Battle Arena and Battle Stadium to fight in, multiple playsets can be added to each other to create a huge play environment. Half bugs, half robot vehicles known as Hexbug Warriors were the next stage in developments. Special track sections were also introduced to the range so that kids could use their imagination and design their own roadway.

In-built ‘bump sensors’ helps Hexbugs to manoeuvre their way around objects and other obstacles.Įven smaller versions known as Nano Hexbugs soon followed, and their own interchangeable play environments added an extra element of fun and unpredictability to play time. The translucent plastic shells enabled the user to see the mechanics inside which added an extra element of fun and curiosity. These scuttling little creatures crept under beds and chairs, and were swapped in playgrounds up and down the length of the UK. As one of the more innovative toys to be released in the 21st century, Hexbug miniature vibrating bugs and creatures fired up kids' imaginations when they were first launched by Innovation First in 2007.
