From The Weekend Herald (Newc edit), Sat, 11 March 06.

A radar gun that enables kids to act like speed cops for less than $40 is Australia's new toy of the year.

The hand-held plastic gun, which will be released in Australia in June, allows children to clock the speed of their toy cars or see how fast they can run.

The Hot Wheels Radar Gun beat hundreds of other toys and gadgets to take out the top prize at the annual Australian, Toy, Hobby, and Nursery Fair in Sydney yesterday.

"It is a real working radar gun so kids can measure the speed of their toy cars as the're racing around the track" Mattel spokesman Kent Cuthbert said.

"They can also measure anyhting around them like a bicycle or a car driving by". Mr Cutherbert acknowledged that some parents might be concerned about their children playing with a toy gun, but said the Hot Wheels Radar Gun was for measuring distance and speed. "It is just for measuring speed", he said.

"It really lets kids interact with their toys and the environment around them.
