If you don't want a pair of £99 nightvision goggles, you're either Swiss or dead. These are part of the British HM Forces foray into the world of "toys" except these bad boys actually give you genuine, green, infra red-assisted night vision at up to 15m.

If you don't plan on sending your children out into the forest at night to gather wood, then you'll be pleased to see HM Forces has also released a selection of 10 scale model toys too, as well as a few bits of dress-up costume.
