New product launches have captured attention this week across various brands, including Hess, Fujifilm, and Therabody. Each of these companies has unveiled exciting new offerings that cater to different audiences, from collectors to tech enthusiasts.
Hess Stock Car Racers Rev Up for the Holidays
Hess has introduced its latest collectible toy, the Hess Stock Car Racers, just in time for the holiday season. This year’s model features a pair of race cars that showcase the brand’s signature color scheme of green and white. The set is equipped with 67 animated LED lights and realistic engine sound effects, enhancing the play experience for children and collectors alike.
Senior deals editor Rikka Altland noted that Hess’s annual releases are a longstanding tradition, especially for families on the East Coast. The 2-in-1 pack, priced at $50, includes a larger car that can accommodate the smaller racer within a pop-up hood, marking a notable twist from previous releases. The new Hess vehicles are now available for purchase on the Hess Toy Truck website.
Fujifilm Unveils the X-T30 III Camera
In the realm of photography, Fujifilm has launched the much-anticipated X-T30 III camera. This model integrates a Film Simulation Dial that provides instant access to six preset simulations and three customizable settings. The camera retains the 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor from its predecessor, ensuring high-quality images while introducing enhancements in autofocus capabilities.
Altland, an expert in Fujifilm’s offerings, expressed excitement about the camera’s features, particularly its improved power efficiency, allowing for up to 425 frames per charge. The X-T30 III is available for preorder at $999, which reflects a modest increase from the previous model’s launch price.
