Helicopter (Model # 2.06)
This is a fun construction kit that features a sharp and colorful helicopter. This puzzle is a beginner model that is sturdy, durable, and easy-to-assemble. It measures seven inches in length.

Large Breakdown Truck (Model # 8.02)
This is a fun construction kit that features a sharp and colorful large truck. Its a tow truck, a wrecker truck and a breakdown truck. It is a 3-D type puzzle that stands ten inches in length. This puzzle is sturdy, durable and easy-to-assemble. It features plastic because of the texture and feels and looks more like wood. Your childs imagination will unfold as they drive their new creation. These products feel good and have excellent colors. They are made from high quality plastic and are unbreakable with patented plugs and clips that are almost impossible to take apart. Disassembly requires a plug extractor, included in each kit.

When The National Parenting Center gave their Seal of Approval Award in November 2004 to Mic-O-Mics Cabriolet (Model # 6.01) they said:
Cabriolet - Traditionally, building toys have followed a rather narrow developmental pattern. Innovations in the genre are few and far between. With that said, when a completely new type of system comes along we tend to take notice. The unique plastic and rubber pieces that make up this Cabriolet car are so different that we werent sure what we were supposed to do at first, where were the tools, the glue, the detailed instructions? What we found was superbly molded plastic pieces that connected with fasteners unlike any our testers had seen before. The magic is that its easy and fun and when you snap the last piece in place, you have a cool looking project that you can really play with."
When Parents Choice Foundation gave their Parents Choice Approved Award in November 2004 to Mic-O-Mics Butterfly plane(Model # 2.08) they said:
Review - Consisting of more than fifty sturdy, colorful plastic pieces that can be assembled into a small single-engine airplane (with butterfly-like wings) using pins and plastic tab connectors, there are no real assembly instructions, just a layout diagram and two illustrations on the box. The plane is very sturdy and has survived many test flights and rough landings. Peter likes to take some pieces apart using the tool provided with the model (this must also be assembled), but doesnt mess with the angled/bent connectors because these can be tricky to replace. Because the tiny pins are easily lost, we were pleased that several extra were included with the kit. Although it is expensive, it is well crafted and appealing."
Mic-O-Mic construction toys (often described as being like 3-D puzzles), winners of Design Awards in Europe and several toy awards in America since first introducing Mic-O-Mic to North America in the Spring of 2004, are now a recipient of these two more awards to add to the seven awards already received from Dr. Toy and the awards from The National Parenting Center and Parents Choice Foundation.
