stick collection and some completely new offerings in the convenience item category. Each toy promises

www.Geospace®play.com or meet them at Toy Fair, booth #118.
Flying Toys
SKY CATCHERS™ (#12420)
Kids will have the arm of a professional quarterback with amazing, new SKY CATCHERS™! Launch the
tripod rocket up to 100 feet, and catch it just as easily, as the tripod legs attach directly to the launcher.
As soon as kids see SKY CATCHERS™ in action, they will pocket their smartphones and come running. The
unique launcher stick adds leverage to kids’ throws, multiplying their arm strength for incredible
distance and simple fun. Kids will have a blast as they hold contests for distance, height and precision.
Ages 5 & up.
INCREDIBLE™ SPORTS BALL and RING (#12060, #12061, #12062)
Incredible Expanda footballs, baseballs and rings are like nothing kids have seen before! Balls expand up
to four times their initial size and 10 times in density when soaked in water for just a few minutes! After
they expand, kids can throw them in the backyard, at the pool or beach, and even in the house, thanks
to the dripless design. Tough kids won’t fret as the ruggedly sewn seams are even tougher, and built to
last for years to come. Ages 4 & up.
12” SUPER SOFTSLINGER™ (#12202)
Fun in the sun will reach all new levels this Summer when kids get their hands on the super comfortable
and super safe 12” SUPER SOFTSLINGER. The popular SUPER SOFTSLINGER is now available in a smaller
version for younger kids. Unlike hard, plastic models, the SUPER SOFTSLINGER is made of a soft, durable
foam fabric that’s easy on the hands and pool-friendly. Younger children love SUPER SOFTSLINGER for
learning, and older kids prefer it because it is easier to grasp, throw and catch. No more broken
windows, bruised arms or traumatized pets! Safe to use inside or outdoors. Ages 4 & up.
Jumping Toys
JUMPAROO™ BOING!™ MICRO POGO STICK (#11137)
No longer will wee ones have to sit on the sidelines while older siblings and friends have all the fun!
From the Boing Pogo Stick line, comes the new Boing Micro - a Jumparoo Boing designed specifically for
smaller kids. Height, weight and spring are scaled down for kids who weigh between 30 and 70 lbs. The
Boing Micro features the same rugged metal construction, foam grips and non-slip foot as the larger
models. Plus, fold-up handles and foot rests make it more portable than ever! Ages 4 & up.
Pump Rockets®
PUMP ROCKET® MICRO SHOTZ™ (#12960, #12961)
The latest addition to the wildly popular Pump Rocket® line will have kids giggling with joy and staring in
awe as they launch six-inch “micro” soft, safe foam rockets up to 75 feet in the air! A hand-operated
pump features a flexible docking tube that can be aimed in any direction for maximum shot accuracy.
The sets includes three colorful MICRO™ Rockets or one single Rocket, so kids can shoot rapid fire, or
challenge each other for greatest distance and accuracy. Ages 3 & up.
PUMP ROCKET ® MICRO STRAW SHOTZ™ (#12970)
What appears to be drinking straws is actually an aerodynamic rocket launcher in this all new Pump
Rocket® set! Each Micro Straw’s sleek shape, along with its feather-light weight, helps it to speed
through the air with amazing velocity, landing up to 50 feet away! Powered by a hand-activated air
pump, STRAW SHOTZ™ come with 10 different connectors that can attach to a simple launch base. Each
connector allows kids to choose how many rockets launch at a time (one, two, or three), and in which
direction they fly (horizontally or vertically). Sets include four STRAW SHOTZ™ (rockets), one foam
rocket, ten connectors, eight flexible straws, one hand pump, and four soft tips. Ages 3 & up.
PUMP ROCKET ® MICRO SLAM STATION™ (#12964)
A micro-sized space center for every backyard, the Pump Rocket® Micro Slam Station will have amateur
rocketeers sending up regular missions. Kids can select from two launch protocols (hand pump or
mounted) as they prepare for blast-off of three safe soft-foam rockets. For launch pad missions, kids
simply set rockets on the station’s launch tube and aim it in any direction. Once the air hose is
connected to the hand pump, kids are ready for high flyin’ action! By squeezing or slamming the pump,
kids make the rockets explode off of the launch pad and travel up to 75 feet into the air! Ages 3 & up.
PUMP ROCKET® WRIST SHOTZ™ (#12968)
Even James Bond would be envious of the new Pump Rocket® WRIST SHOTZ™. Once kids fasten the
Velcro strap to their wrist, then they are ready to shoot 3 included Micro Rockets in rapid load and reload succession. Kids can hit any target with the six-inch, foam tubes by simply aiming their arms and
quickly squeezing the pump. Mom and Dad don’t even have to worry, as each rocket is made of soft,
high-quality foam that will land softly on precious furniture, beloved pets, or cherished siblings. With
one of these secret weapons, there will be lots of little spies and special agents popping up at the
neighborhood park. Age 3 and older.
JUMP ROCKET® LED NIGHT SHOTZ™ & PUMP ROCKET® LED NIGHT SHOTZ ™ (#12940, #12941)
When the sun goes down, Jump & Pump Rocket® LED Night Shotz go up! Kids will light up the night and
dazzle the neighborhood with either the new Jump Rocket® or Pump Rocket® Launcher Sets. Super safe
LED lights give each rocket a bold and dramatic effect as it streams through the night sky. LED lights will
even show up in the daylight. Jump Rocket® Night Shotz includes pump, launch pad and three LED
rockets with soft, safe-foam nose cones. Pump Rocket® Night Shotz includes pump and one LED rocket.
Ages 4 & up.
Convenience Items
GAME TIME™ Collection (#12121, #12122, #12123)
The Game Time collection rewards kids with all of the action-packed thrills and excitement of real
sports, right at their fingertips. Choose from basketball, football or ping pong. After setting up the minigoalpost, net or basket, players take turns to see who can “launch” or “hit” the ball at the target to
score. The football and basketball “launchers” are spring-loaded and can “toss” the ball up to 3 feet!
Goalposts and nets feature suction-cupped bases to hold them securely to a table or floor. Each set
includes necessary sporting items. Ages 6 & up.
GEO TOROFLUX™ (#13100)
The Geo Toroflux interactive spring toy magically transforms from a series of rings into a 3-D, atom-like
sculpture! Even cooler, when kids insert their hands through the coils, Geo Toroflux begins to spiral up
and down kids’ arms, spinning so quickly that it becomes an artistic blur of motion. Geo Toroflux can
move from arm to arm, person to person, as it continually maintains its perpetual motion. The magic toy
makes for a fantastic party trick, or an even better exercise tool. Kids can spin it on their arms or even on
a broom handle, where the stainless steel wonder will look like a floating soap bubble. Geo Toroflux
folds flat, for easy storage in the included travel pouch. Ages 6 & up.
