About Zipes™ Speed Pipes - finalist in the “Specialty Toy of the Year” category
Zipes™ Speed Pipes is the first and only high-speed toy to run inside pipes.
With a little creativity, kids put together Zipes™ Speed Pipes that can twist, loop and seemingly defy gravity. Kids can make crazy builds and then speed Zipes™ Racers crazy fast through the pipes. Zipes™ Pipe builds are dynamic and can be tangled 360 degrees even while the vehicles are zipping through the pipes. This unique new dimension of play expands kids’ way of thinking and makes things crazy fun. Zipes™ Racers are illuminated and the sets contain a cosmic strobe ball that creates an awesome light show when room is dark.
Unlike any other RC vehicle, Zipes™ Racers have special technology and a 50.000 RPM motor that allow them to navigate inside the pipes at high-speed, defying the rules of gravity.
In the market for only half a year, Zipes™ Speed Pipes has already won important awards such as 2017 Best Toys For Kids from ASTRA and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Seal Award 2017, given to the most innovative, engaging new products of the year.

This year’s finalists were selected from over 600 nominees submitted by more than 150 companies of all sizes. Twenty judges, including toy and play experts, retailers, academics, and journalists, reviewed and ranked the products in specific categories relevant to their areas of expertise. The judges then participated in a live discussion to determine the finalists in each category. They considered each product’s creativity, design, play value, and marketing.
One winner in each category, as well as the coveted “Toy of the Year” award winner and the “People’s Choice” winner (based solely on consumer votes), will be announced at a dazzling TOTY Awards gala to be held on Friday, February 16, 2018 at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. The celebration will help kick-off the 115th North American International Toy Fair, and will include the induction of toy industry trailblazers into the esteemed Toy Industry Hall of Fame.
