I designed the first web shooter that doesn't make a mess and retracts instantly. This is ZipStringer Arachnid, the world's first string launching web shooter. I've been working on this thing for over 2 years and I finally perfected the design. You may have seen my original toy ZipString on Shark Tank or the movie Weapons for some reason. It uses these two wheels to shoot the string out at 35 mph. But you can actually touch it with your hand and it doesn't hurt. You can shoot down objects and you can even grab things with it. It went from this Frankenstein prototype to this fully functional sleek design. I went through so many prototypes like this one and this one. I designed it so that under force the cap will open and the string won't break. It's USB-C rechargeable and it comes with five different strings of different sizes. Fun fact, when I made the original ZipString, I measured the strings with my arm length. And so the short string was one Steven, the medium string was two Stevens, and the long string was three Stevens. And they're still based on this measurement. I want to make sure I got right was the glow-in-the-dark feature. And when I made the first prototype, I got kind of excited. Oh, and it comes out and then it goes in. AND THE WHOLE THING IS GLOWING. And now I can go home. My work is done for today. It comes with these two white strings that also glow-in-the-dark. Most glow-in-the-dark toys need a UV light to make them glow. But I designed a UV light inside that charges the string without needing any other lights. The best web shooters use canvas string like this. But they're messy, they can stain your clothes and your walls, and parents kind of hate them. You also have to keep buying canvas string that costs like $20. The strings are reusable and you can also get more on our website including special effects like our Luma lightning strings and psycho strings. But I have a big problem. Kids don't play with real toys anymore. I'm up against the trillion-dollar industry of screens. So I need your help to get my toy out there cuz my goal is to get kids playing with real toys again.
