A working Super Soaker Wingthing is available for review, but due to its rarity, it is being kept boxed as opposed to being opened. The SS Wingthing is an interesting variation on the typical product made under the Super Soaker brand. As opposed to the blasters, the Super Soaker Wingthing uses pressurized water to propel the styrofoam glider section through the air. The handle/launcher device holds a small amount of water. Upon pumping, water and air end up being pushed from the launcher's reservoir into the pressure chamber that is mounted on the bottom side of the Super Soaker Wingthing. Launching occurs upon pulling the trigger which releases the clip holding the Super Soaker Wingthing to the launcher. Flight patterns and times are undoubtedly variable.

Of course, being a water-powered glider, the Super Soaker Wingthing has no real water warfare use apart from being a signalling device at best. However, it is a neat device nevertheless.

Pros

Neat, water-powered glider.

Cons

Appears to be fragile. Not sure how well the device would survive multiple harder landings assuming the glide was not as successful as predicted.
