TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
The R/C Rat is part of Uncle Milton's Horrible Pets line of remote-control rodents and bugs. This realistic rat has a gnawed ear, wounded eye, a realistic tail, and plastic molded ragged fur. The remote control works up to 12 feet away from the rat. There are two buttons: forward and rotate, which sends the rat in a backwards curve.
Why It’s Fun
The R/C Rat may be gross to some, but most kids will love this easy-to-use toy. It is very quiet, which makes it perfect for sneaking up on unsuspecting family members. Mom and dad, be prepared to play along.
Who It’s For
The Horrible Pets R/C Rat is for ages 6 and up.
However, we think older kids (and even some adults) will get a kick out of the semi-realistic gross-out power that this toy delivers.
What to Be Aware of
Three AAA and two AA batteries are required, but not included.
For best performance, use the R/C Rat on a smooth, flat surface. It worked well for us on thin carpet.
