Wilton Bradley 01626 835 400 | www.wiltonbradley.com The Wilton Bradley showstopper for 2018 is its remote control range Monster Smash Ups. The existing range of three character remote control trucks is joined by a fourth character - Black Widow. The trucks now offer further play potential, as the body of the trucks now fully explode when they hit each other or an obstacle. The driver also gets ejected from the car. Kids can then rebuild the trucks, customise them with the included stickers, and build their own track with the flags and cones. Other items available include a Battle Pack which comes with two trucks, a ramp, and four interchangeable characters and chassis. Another ramp can also be purchased separately. This product has proved popular with parenting bloggers. Testimonials and videos posted online from influential bloggers have boosted the range, as has winning a Made For Mums Award, and being featured in the national media. There will be more activity to support Monster Smash Ups throughout Q4, including a mass media campaign.
