From Zing Toys, we present the Zyclone Zing Ring Blaster. The Zyclone may look cartoon-like with it’s gaudy colors but don’t let the looks deceive you. This is one seriously cool toy projectile launcher! The Zyclone will launch a spinning Zing Ring with a near flat trajectory over 120 ft. The Zing Ring itself is made of a lightweight foam that is quite safe but recommended for outdoor use – primarily because it flies so far. While the Zyclone is designed for kids ages 6 and up, we think “grown ups” will also have loads of fun with this amazing outdoor toy.

One of the most simple yet engaging outdoor toys we’ve seen in a long time. The Mini Sport Disc is a small 12′ diameter disc with a tight and stretchy membrane in the center. This membrane is so springy that you can use it to bounce a small object (such as the included rubber ball) up to 150 feet! The basic idea is a game of catch but the possibilities are only limited by one’s imagination. The Mini Super Sport Disc is addictive and will also get you some exercise while outdoors. We also stock the Ogo Sport Copter Dart Game.
