Editorial Review
Items like these "spy vision" goggles are immensely popular, in part because kids expect the same results they see on the big screen or cartoons. The goggles look cool enough (which may be all that matters anyway) but don't expect much. The adjustable head strap is fashionably padded, with a techno-looking pack in the rear. The pack actually just holds batteries. The key feature, however, is the eye-catching, acid-green lens. They are useless for deflecting UV rays, exploring underwater, or--not so surprising--penetrating darkness. What penetrates the darkness are two small, small light bulbs, dressed up in nifty pop-out compartments on each side. The goggles, though, to their credit, make everything appear cool and eerie--including the wearer. That's fun even without real spy vision. Required: 4 "AAA" batteries. --Diane Beall
