How’s your Christmas list looking? While waiting until the last minute may not be the most optimal, it can be a lot of fun. Or stressful. Or both, and maybe you’re a Type A that gets off on that. Anyways, we’re looking at a particular toy today. Air Hogs Zero Gravity Sprint cars are the wall-climbing RC cars of your childhood dreams, and they’re extremely popular on TikTok. Enough so that the toys are selling out pretty much everywhere. This creates a great opportunity for resellers to do what they do best.

Air Hogs Zero Gravity Sprint Wall Climber

Yes, apparently Air Hogs are still around. If you’re a late Millennial or early Zoomer, you might remember the suction-powered RC cars that can climb up walls and ceilings.

It’s the perfect toy to annoy the adults in the house, scare pets, and generally have fun for ten minutes until the battery runs out and the TV gets turned on.

Over the years there have been all kinds of iteration on the design. This year, it’s the Air Hogs Zero Gravity Sprint. Compared to earlier toys, the Sprint cars seem to be pretty quick while in the zero gravity mode.

The Air Hogs Zero Gravity Sprint toys are available through most retailers for $20. Purchases include the toy, a controller, and a charger.

This toy has been enjoying viral popularity ahead of the holidays thanks to social media. The ShopToday account posted a short TikTok featuring the Zero Gravity Sprint back in September, and since then we’ve seen the toys continue to trend online.
