Welcome to Skannerz Archive

Gone, but not forgotten. This site is dedicated to Skannerz, a series of electronic toys made by Radica from early to late 2000s. Lots of the information related to Skannerz is lost in time, but our humble goal of this project is to harvest and save it for the generations to come.

From our archive you can find valid, confirmed and never released information about the original Skannerz, Skannerz Commander, and nuggets of information about other Skannerz products. If you know more, please let us know!

If you have experience about the Skannerz products or want to meet up other fans, join our community.
