The final word: The EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles are every bit as cool as you'd expect. They bring the awesome to the table in ways that few toy gadgets can dream of. Get 'em before they ban 'em!
ONCE in a while, a toy gadget comes along that really makes you sit up and take notice. Like the original Etch-a-Sketch board or the first batch of Robo-Sapiens, the EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles have that "wow" factor which most toys lack.
They simply scream "Look at me! You have to buy me! " (Or to paraphrase the Funzo commercial from The Simpsons: “If you don’t own Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles, you’re NOTHING.”)
The EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles do exactly what they say on the box. Loosely based on the MNVDs worn by the US Armed Forces and shady CIA field operatives, they essentially let you see in the dark using infrared technology. The right goggle is fitted to an LCD display monocle similar to the viewfinder on a camcorder. The left goggle, which is just plastic, can be flipped up to allow vision when the device is switched off (although you’ll presumably be in the dark at the time, which kind of defeats the purpose).
Despite their somewhat high-tech appearance, the EyeClops couldn’t be easier to operate: simply fit the adjustable strap over your head, switch them on, and you’re ready to roll. You can choose between green or black-and-white viewing modes, but for old school authenticity, you’ve got to go for the former. There are two sensitivity levels: Stealth Mode, which allows you to see at close quarters, and Surveillance Mode, which allegedly grants a viewing range of up to 50 feet. We suspect this might be a tad generous, but the device does offer good visibility and the images it projects are suitably sharp. (While there are no focusing options for the vision-impaired, the goggles have been designed to fit over most glasses.)
Frankly, you’d have to be blinder than Cyclops (post-Odysseus) not to see the fun offered by this product.
