Motion Sensing Remote Controlled Jet

by Edwin

Just because you’re an adult now doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in having toys of your own, right? After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and in this case, man. Heck, the Motion Sensing Remote Controlled Jet that you see on the right could prove to be just the tonic required for a healthy father-son bonding time, as it is full well capable of responding to the motion of its master joystick in a similar manner as that of the yoke in an actual cockpit. A slight tilt to the left and right will turn the jet in flight, enabling young pilots to better imagine themselves at the controls of a military aircraft. It might just spark off a lifelong interest and fuel little Johnny’s ambition of joining the Air Force in the long run. Whenever you squeeze the throttle trigger, speed and altitude will increase. Those who are less familiar can always be guided by the traditional manual stick method. Bear in mind that there is a 150 feet range to this, leading us to wonder what happens when the jet flies beyond that range, will it just drop to the ground? Propelling along at a maximum speed of 25 mph, a half hour charge will result in up to 10 minutes of flying time. You can bring home the Motion Sensing Remote Controlled Jet for $69.95.

Trekbot micro robotic racer

Desk Pets International (HK) Limited might not be a name that most of you out there are familiar with, but they are actually the creator of interactive micro-robotic toys and gadgets that offer big-play value. Well, the company has just announced its latest addition to the market which is known as the Trekbot, a special hubless micro-robotic racer. This unique toy will be accompanied by a signature patent pending 5-function USB remote control that basically enables racers to perform sharp turns, headstands, and full flips without compromising on the speed at which it zips around. Features include a built-in USB charger for the Trekbot to get juiced up just about anytime, anywhere without having to rely on a specific type of power outlet.

Dave the Funky Monkey Toy

by Mark R

Every Christmas has the one item that will be red hot like the Cabbage Patch Kids or Tickle Me Elmo. This year, it could easily be the Dave the Funky Shoulder Monkey.

You can watch a video of it after the jump of how it works. It can attach to shoulder with a button and a velcro strap, and it is just like having a real monkey on your shoulder, but cleaner!

The user can make it act like a monkey with a remote control. You can go into a conversational mode by having it nod its head. It can then beat some imaginary drums with its arms.

Hot Wheels makes pocket-sized RC cars now

by Mark R

I’m sure that you all remember Hot Wheels, and how you can race them on flat surfaces and specially made tracks, with the occasional loop-de-loop.

Now Hot Wheels cars are remote controlled. That’s right, Hot Wheels actually made their tiny cars into R/C cars.

I have no idea how fast they go, but they are very unique in their ability to fold up and stash themselves within their own controllers, which are about the size of iPhones. These controllers have the same stickers and colors of the cars, so you know what controller controls what car.

Voice Control Helicopter

by Edwin

Are you frustrated that whatever you tell your kids seem to fall on deaf ears? Then the Voice Control Helicopter might come in handy, although it is rather sad that you will need to fork out £39.99 to have a mechanical contraption obey your commands. This ingenious Voice Control Helicopter is smart enough to respond to your commands, and will be able to obey five pre-loaded commands. All you need to do is wear the microphone set (which somewhat resembles a Bluetooth headset) and start sending out commands to show who’s boss. You will be able to tell it to start its engines, head up higher or go lower, to hover in mid-air or even move forwards and backwards. Not only that, there are LED lights that make it look all the more cooler, while juicing up the Voice Control Helicopter is a snap. Folks who speak in French or Spanish will also be able to have a go at it, making this a truly intercontinental flight.

Remote Controlled Football Boots

by Ally

Whether you call it soccer or football, this is one strange way to burn up some time.  You can’t help but love the occasional remote control gadget, but this is probably the strangest I’ve seen.  Instead of knocking in those balls with mini players, it uses oversized shoes.  I guess either way it’ll do the trick and keep you occupied for a couple of hours.

Panther offers you remote controlled fun

by Edwin

If you’re looking to have some remote controlled fun, then might we suggest the £99.99 Panther? This is touted to be an “amazing, madcap, fearlessly insane remote control buggy” that is extremely nimble, and it is pretty rare to see an RC buggy move along at 45kmh (yes, it is that fast) without losing any of its control in the hands of a true master. Equally at home in both outdoors or large indoor spaces, the Panther would perform best in stylish rally skids and homemade assault courses. Assuming you have a large carpeted area, then the Panther will stick to the floor like a dream and respond to even the lightest touch. Relying on a trigger-style throttle and steering wheel, getting the Panther to respond to your commands is a snap, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a southpaw or not. Two hours of battery charging ought to give you plenty of fun before the next round of charging.

LEGO TECHNIC Motorized Excavator

by Edwin

Love building stuff of your own? The LEGO TECHNIC Motorized Excavator should not only be able to satisfy you, but your child as well. Of course, for something as complex as this, we would not expect him or her to be that young, but rather, at least 12 years old and above. After all, making a $199.99 purchase decision is never going to be easy for anyone especially in this day and age. When completed, what you get would be a fully remote controlled excavator that features double remote controls tracks which are able to run back and forth, alongside an arm which can be raised and lowered, carrying a shovel to dig. The cabin also works like the real deal, spinning a cool 360 degrees. The entire set comes with 1,123 LEGO pieces, so make sure you have a decent sized container to store everything. For more bang for your buck, it can also be rebuilt into a Tracked Loader.
