Our Take
A genuinely fun upgrade to outdoor catch that delivers on the promise.
The Foxtail LED takes a nostalgic toy and makes it actually playable after sunset with two separate light sources. Outdoor throw-and-catch games live or die by whether they're actually fun to use, and the dual-LED design here (one in the ball, one down the tail) keeps visibility high without feeling gimmicky.
The Buying Guide
What to look at before you buy
01
One LED in the soft foam ball, one in the fabric tail
Dual LED System
Having two light sources instead of one is the real win here—it means the ball itself lights up on catch, and the tail stays visible mid-air. That's the difference between a toy you use once and one that actually works at night.
02
3x watch batteries, approximately 8 hours play time
Battery & Runtime
Eight hours is solid for a toy this size, and watch batteries are cheap and easy to swap. The on/off switch at the base of the ball means you're not burning power when it's sitting in the garage.
03
Spin-to-throw mechanism, catchable by the tail
Soft Foam Ball & Tail Design
The core appeal here is the ritual: spin it, let it fly, catch by the glow-in-the-dark tail. It's tactile and weirdly satisfying, and the foam ball keeps it safe for kids and adults playing together.
