Magnetykes are an outstandingly fun and entertaining way for children to learn about the wonders of magnetism. Each Magnetykes set includes a magnetic plastic figure and vehicle along with a magnetic wrench. The 14-page full color comic that accompanies each set tells the story of how the Magnetykes (robot-like, sentient creatures brought to life by an ancient magnet) came to be, a playful, fascinating origin story that helps fuel lots of pretend play and action fun. Kids launch the 4-wheeled vehicles across the floor or table using the magnetic wrench and also use the magnetic wrench to pick them up and catch them. The Magnetykes figures are designed so that they can sit snugly in the driver's seat or be held securely in place by the magnet at the vehicle's rear. This merging of creative, scientific and action elements deeply engages youngsters' imaginations, inspiring wide-ranging exploration and creative play. Each set also includes a smooth, rectangular sheet of metal with which kids can hang their Magnetykes on the wall for safekeeping when not in use.
