Remote Control Things

Sometimes I wish people came with remote controls so I could make them go in reverse if I saw them bringing me more paperwork to do.  Or if I wanted to replay funny moments.  Like the other day when I was playing with (oops, I mean testing) our new Remote Control Skunk (it lifts its tail just like the real thing).   My sister happened to walk by just after I had “enhanced the mood” by spraying a teeny bit of our Fart Spray into the air.  What a reaction!  It was priceless, and exactly the kind of response you hope for when playing with one of our Things.   

Our incredible radio controlled flying Things let you take to the skies:

The Mini Helicopter is only 7” long and perfect for buzzing around your bedroom or at the office.  Start an invasion with a Flying UFO that hovers  perfectly and really puts on a light show.  The RC Megachopper helicopter is awesome to fly with a 200 ft range and has flashing lights and hovers up to 100 feet in the air!  

Let’s not forget some of our cool ground-based remote control Things: 

The Cyclone Stunt Buggy is 360 degrees of spinning action.  Pop wheelies, flip over, and more!   Try battling a  friend (or the built-in computer) with our Laser Battle Tanks.  Lasers,  artificial intelligence and oh yeah, did I mention the laser cannons?  What more can a guy ask for?   

  And how neat is the scale model Forklift that operates just like the real thing?  I’ve been caught using it to move little boxes of paper clips around on my desk. 

The Indiana Jones Giant Ant is super-sized and just like in the movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, you have the ability to control the ant with a crystal skull.  May its “mystical” powers protect you from its giant mandible! 

You can enjoy and control the moon every night with Light Up Moon.  It hangs on your wall and will automatically cycle though the 12 moon phases.  Don’t like the current phase?  No problem.  Just use the remote control to select the one you want. 

How could I not mention the Fart Machine?  What fun!  Here is a device that you use a remote control to choose the perfect (or, not-so-perfect) moment to let loose one of 15 “sounds”!  You can set it off from up to 100 feet away, even through walls.  We have a lot of fun with ours, especially after the day we offered burritos in the lunchroom! 

See you next week,
Bobby
