TF2009: Uncle Milton Star Wars Science

Posted By Curto on February 22, 2009

UNCLE MILTON TAKES ITS SCIENCE AND NATURE HERITAGE
TO A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY IN 2009


Take a hyperspace ride to the far reaches of space
with a new line of STAR WARS™ Science toys at Toy Fair 2009


WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA—(February 15, 2009)— Uncle Milton Industries, a leading manufacturer of science and nature exploration products, is excited to introduce a new lineup of fun and educational line of STAR WARS toys at the American International Toy Fair (Booth #2249), highlighted by the unveiling of a revolutionary toy that brings the STAR WARS universe to life in a way never thought possible!

For many years, the STAR WARS galaxy has mirrored our own technological advancements. "It's like something out of STAR WARS" is a commonly heard refrain when exciting new technologies debut. But there's one aspect of the STAR WARS galaxy that has eluded the boundaries of science: The Force.

Until now.

Because in fall 2009, people will be able to literally "use the Force" when Uncle Milton debuts an extraordinary new product called "The Force Trainer."

The Force Trainer actually allows you to control a Jedi Training Remote with your mind, by tapping into cutting-edge brainwave technology. The deeper your concentration and mental focus, the greater affect you have on the Training Sphere. It moves up or down the cylinder based on your focus of attention. Progress from Padawan to Jedi Master with 15 levels of training. Familiar STAR WARS character voices and sound effects guide and encourage you, adding to the fun and excitement.

“The Force Trainer is the perfect marriage of new technology to the STAR WARS universe,” says Frank Adler, executive vice president of Uncle Milton Industries. “It brings a long-desired part of the films to life in a way that is both fun and educational for children.”

Inspired by the hugely successful museum tour – STAR WARS: Where Science Meets Imagination – Uncle Milton has also translated the “science” of the popular film franchise into a full line of toys that all ages can enjoy. A multi-function optical command unit, Darth Vader’s robotic arm and habitats that simulate life on the planets Naboo and Dagobah are just a few of the featured toys.

Designed to entertain and educate, these toys teach the scientific workings and applications behind robotics, optics, visual projection, and much more.

“Uncle Milton has an exceptional history of translating science and nature into engaging products that kids want to play with,” says Adler. “By combining developments in technology and product innovation with the blockbuster STAR WARS brand, we have created unique toys that appeal to kids, parents and even collectors.”


Highlights from Uncle Milton’s 2009 new STAR WARS Science product introductions include:

Progress from Padawan to Jedi Master as you master the use of “The Force” through 15 levels of training. Increasingly challenging sequences are aided by training cues and instruction from the master of all Jedi Masters himself, Yoda.
