All of my childhood memories involving Etch a Sketch end the same mode . I ’d toy with the knobs and then after a few minutes , shake it in foiling , wipe off all evidence of my hideous “ art . ” The ionic toy is cross off its 60th day of remembrance this year with a few limited edition launch , but of all of them the Etch a Sketch Revolution was the one that had us throw off our fist at how favorable Kyd today are .
The Etch a Sketch Revolution is a shade smaller than your typical Etch a Sketch , but it does feature the two signature knob at the bottom . The master difference is it feature a spinning screen that makes lottery circles magnitudes easier . As in , all you have to do is manipulate the knob on the spinning lip , and that ’s it . It ’s simple , but pretty swell when you consider just how excruciating trying to draw anything circular , rounded , or buxom on a traditional Etch a Sketch is .

Yours truly is credibly the worst engrave a Sketch artist to have ever lived , but even I drew multiple circles with ease . ( you could see at least three I drew in the GIF above . ) That ’s not to say that you ’ll suddenly be drawing complex mandala within seconds . It still takes a bit to figure out which way you should turn the knob to sketch anything more than a round . For exemplar , my blobby mistakes are easy to spy .
Spin Master had a few of these guy on display at the Toy Fair booth , and while I am proud of my abstract concentric circles , they ’re nowhere near as artful as the example sketches . The Etch a Sketch Revolution is also gentle on the pocketbook too . It ’ll be $ 10 when it found later on in July .
There ’s a few other coolheaded Etch a Sketch variant as well . run in on iconic nostalgia , there ’s also a Monolopy Edition to coincide with the secret plan ’s eighty-fifth day of remembrance . Likewise , there ’s also a Rubrik ’s Edition to twice celebrate the other most frustrative childhood miniature ’s 40th anniversary . Spin Master ’s also commissioned a NASA Inspired edition that ’s decorated with space shuttles and a Stan Lee edition that features a cute cartoon version fo the man himself , along with his famed catch phrase , “ Excelsior ! ”

And you know , because Monopoly had to put out a $ 500 Swarovski translation for its eighty-fifth , Etch a Sketch is also lean into the capitalist vibe with a Diamond Edition . It ’s not near as glitzy , but it does feature two baseball field - inspired knobs .
These will all retail for $ 20 , except for the Diamond Edition which is a number more at $ 30 . The Monopoly Edition will hit shelves in March , while the NASA Inspired Edition will fare in April and the Rubrik ’s Edition in May . Both the Stan Lee and Diamond Edition will drop in July .
