Moving on to its different components. For launching and retracting its string, the ZipString Aracna uses a patented mechanism powered by two rotating roller wheels mounted side by side. This mechanism make this toy capable of quickly launching flying loops of string from your wrist at a high-speed as well as rapidly retracting its string, which allows for nearly instant reloading.

Pressing its wrist button at the front makes the Aracna launch its string, while releasing its wrist button makes the Aracna retract its string.

And since the string retracts seamlessly, this also means that the toy requires no refills, so it makes absolutely no mess, providing just endless fun.

The ZipString Aracna also comes with five interchangeable strings of different string lengths, allowing kids and adults to perform different skills, including:

  • a Short String – great for games like “ZipString Tag”
  • a Medium String – suitable for tricks like “The Websplat” (where you shoot its string from mid-distance at someone without causing any pain)
  • a Super-Long String – perfect for performing tricks like “The Portal” (where one of your friend’s or family members can dive through or even front-flip through a giant loop you create with the toy)
  • two Ultra-Glow Strings that glow in the dark

Its included strings are durable and rated to withstand thousands of launches with proper care.

What’s more is that this web shooting toy also features glow-in-the-dark technology, which is powered by a built-in LED blacklight that charges its string to give it a stunning glowing effect.
