Radio Controlled Mechagodzilla

I don’t know if Bandai ever released this, but I first read about this awesome radio-controlled Mechagodzilla in the Fall 2008 issue of G-Fan. The thing is, this almost 20 inches tall and Bandai was planning to release it at about U.S. $780. The radio controlled unit is modeled on the alien equipment from the classic Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, and comes complete with flashing lights, opening chest plate, and original movie sound effects.

Just throw in a 20″ radio controlled Godzilla and its on.

Radio Controlled Star Trek Ships

Coming in March 2009 for about $50/each, radio controlled flying U.S.S. Enterprise and Romula Bird of Prey.

Konami’s DigiQ Tanks

Dan’s Data has an extensive review of Konami’s DigiQ Tanks — mini-IR remote battle tanks that you can pit against each other in battle. Only downside is they will cost you about $50-$60/tank on E-Bay (not yet released in the United States), which is a lot to pay for something that’s not even 3 inches long.

Rumble Cars

Rumble Cars are my kind of toys (though the company’s web site sucks). Rumble Cars are remote controlled cars designed for demolition derby/Car Wars-style battles.

Customizable armor and sensors that cause the cars to lose parts when they collide with any objects. Four models are available for about $30/car.

Radio Controlled Flying Saucer With Programmable LED

Via Boing!Boing! comes this link to an awesome toy — a radio controlled flying saucer that features a user-programmable LED,

For an added dimension of intergalactic fun, you can program messages of up to 30 characters in red LED lights that continuously scroll around the perimeter of the saucer. As the “Communications Officer” of the VECTRON, you can set the lights to announce everything from “Take me to your leader” to “What’s for lunch, mom?”

And only $99.99. Awesome!
