Dave the Funky Shoulder Monkey Set to Be This Year’s Top Toy at Christmas

The Talkative toy featured on the BBC’s Something for the Weekend’s gadget reviews section is now being sold at Men’s Gifts and men’s accessories retailer Menkind and is bound to be a big hit with children and adults alike this Christmas.

Dave the Funky Shoulder Monkey has been hotly tipped to be a great source of entertainment this Christmas as the product is due for release in October during the build up to December. Toy companies such as Hamleys and Wow! Stuff have both ordered plenty in and placed it within their Top 10 toys for Christmas presents in 2010 and even though one retailer has ordered a huge stock of 450,000 they still don’t think they’ll meet the massive consumer demand for Dave, this year’s most popular monkey.

The toy is touted as an interactive ventriloquist dummy although you can operate it completely hands-free via the remote control which could easily be hidden behind your back or pocket. Dave attaches to your shoulder via a strap that secures Dave on to your shoulder and can interact with you and other people around with a repertoire of over 30 moves and actions. With actions such as laughing, crying, giving high fives and even blowing a
raspberry it is just like having an actual cheeky monkey on your shoulder with the advantage of not having to clean up after him!

Harbir Padda of Menkind had the following to say about the addition of Dave to the company’s Christmas line-up, “Dave The Funky Shoulder Monkey is sure to be a big hit this Christmas with similar ‘virtual pet’ gifts being huge last year, although none have been quite as fun and entertaining as Dave!”

Menkind Stores and it’s online store at Menkind.co.uk are already taking orders for Dave as well as many other popular men’s Christmas gifts such as the Magic Wand Remote Control also featured on TV in the popular Dragon’s Den show where notorious dragon Duncan Bannatyne beat other Dragons to the punch by placing the winning bid for a stake in the Kymera Magic Wand Remote.

For many men’s gifts including remote controlled cars, big boy’s toys and attractive men’s watches visit Menkind.co.uk.

The Kymera Magic Wand That Had The Dragons’ Den Under Its Spell Now Available At Menkind

The Kymera Wand, a remote control that helped its inventors secure a record investment on the BBC television show Dragons’ Den, is now available to purchase at Menkind’s stores as well as online at Menkind.co.uk.

Viewers of last Monday’s (August 23) episode of Dragon’s Den saw inventor Chris Barnardo pitch his innovative, buttonless magic wand remote control which appears to take a lot of inspiration from the books and films of Harry Potter.

The invention received the largest offer of investment ever for the programme, resulting in the show’s fiercest dragon, Duncan Bannatyne, offering £200,000 which was accepted by Chris and his co-inventor Richard Blakesley.

The remote is able to control TVs, Hifi systems and many other remote controlled devices with a flick of the wrist or one of the 13 predefined movements. The remote acts like the many universal remotes in that it can learn 13 commands, or “spells” from existing remotes you have around the home.

Chris Barnardo said: “I suggested the idea to Richard when we were drinking in a pub and he came up with the plan to control it by gestures, not buttons.”

Chris even tested out people’s reaction to their invention by holding a wand in one hand and secretly holding a television remote behind his back. When the television sprung to life after a wave of the wand model, Chris’ son was amazed at how his father was in possession of a real life “magic wand”.

Big Trak Is Making A Comeback With The UK’s Favourite Gifts And Gadgets Retailer, Menkind

It was the subject of a massive craze in the 1980s and the toy you simply had to have. Now, decades later, Big Trak is making a comeback with the UK’s favourite gifts and gadgets retailer, Menkind.

Big Trak Is Making A Comeback With The UK’s Favourite Gifts And Gadgets Retailer, Menkind

This six-wheeled, high-tech monster was once roaming around houses all over the world and now it’s about to do the same again. Punch instructions into Big Trak’s keypad and the tank will obey, zooming across the lounge or lurking by a kitchen cupboard before pulling a sharp turn and firing its photon canon. Wives and girlfriends watch out!

There’s loads of fun to be had with Big Trak including plotting routes around your office, ambushing friends and delivering the TV remote to someone else in the lounge if you just can’t face moving.

Not content with releasing details of just one new product, Menkind has announced it is also about to start stocking the new official Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver. Around in various forms since the 60s, the Doctor’s most useful tool has broken locks, mended electrical faults and remotely controlled the TARDIS.

And while the new BBC licensed sonic screwdriver might not be too helpful if you find yourself in another dimension by accident, it certainly looks the business. The screen accurate, die-cast replica has lights and sound effects, and interchangeable heads with Philips and flathead screwdriver extensions.

You’ll never be stuck for a screwdriver again or fail to impress a fan of the show with this in your pocket.

Paul Kraftman, managing director of Menkind, said: “We know full well that boys love their toys, and expect these two iconic products to go down a storm. Big Trak was a huge hit when it was released back in 1979 and the 21st century remake brings all those childhood memories flooding back.

“The Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver to open doors all over the universe and we know people are going to have fun trying to do the same! Would you ever want to use a normal screwdriver again after using Doctor Who’s?”
