Wild Planet Announces New Spy Gear – Lazer Tripwire, Evidence Kit

Written on Jan 31, 2009 by Brian and filed under News, Wild Planet

Wild Planet will be adding to their Spy Gear line this fall with several new products including a Lazer Tripwire, Evidence Kit and Secret Agent Briefcase. Consistent with Wild Planet’s other new releases, all the units are priced well, coming in at $20 or under.

Lazer Tripwire

The Lazer Tripwire includes two laser emitting pods and one dual receiver to create a security field in any room. If an object crosses the laser bean an alarm will sound. While the tripwire is designed for kids 6 and up, we see more utility here and think the tripwire is destined for cubicles and dorm rooms, not just play rooms. The retail price is $20.

Evidence Kit

The evidence kit includes a mobile forensics set with a 30X microscope, UV light, fingerprint kit & glow-in-the-dark powder. Kids will be able to fingerprint a crime scene and take other evidence back to their “lab.” The kit includes game ideas and tutorials on how to collect evidence. It’s designed for kids 6 and older and will retail for $16.

Secret Agent Briefcase

Any good agent needs a briefcase, especially a dart-launching briefcase complete with secret compartments and spy tools. The kit also includes a removable red laser light and vision scope, DVD holder, storage space, dart blaster & four darts. The briefcase is designed for kids 6 and up and will retail for $20.

$10 Deals

In addition to the new items, Wild Planet is releasing special editions of their most popular sky gadgets for just $10. These include the Spy Night Scope, Agent Tool Kit and Micro Ear Gear.

Look through the red-tinted lenses of the Spy Night Scope to examine far-away objects up close. With the press of a button, illuminate near-by subjects with a red light, or engage the bright white pop-up spotlight to see up to 25 feet in the distance. The agent tool kit includes essential spy gadgets in a locking case; includes a motion alarm, magnification scope, pen & flashlight. Micro Ear Gear comes with a pair of hands-free, ear-mounted spy gadgets; contains a Micro Ear Light & Micro Agent Listener for secret spy action.
