Bring out the child in you this Christmas

This Christmas dads who want to surprise their kids might actually end up getting the PicoZ Heli Mission for themselves

This groundbreaking R/C mash up combines the thrill of helicopter flight with the excitement of driving a SWAT truck. Wow! It might look like a stealthy brute of a vehicle – and it is – but this macho truck features a cavernous cargo bay that opens up, upon your command, to reveal a fully-functioning micro helicopter sitting on an auto-elevating launchpad. Incredible! It’s like Thunderbirds meets Airwolf with a highly Hasselhoffian touch of 80s folly thrown in for good measure. Both precision-engineered machines are controlled via a single transmitter with smart shoulder buttons that allow you to switch seamlessly between truck and chopper.

One thing though – what happens when the helicopter is in mid-air and you switch over to the truck? Will it just hover there until the subsequent instruction? Guess you’ll need to fork out £59.95 to find out!

Another cool Toy from Bandai

G-Bound is the coolest RC toy for sure as it not only does crazy stunts on land, but thanks to it’s balloon type tires, can drive on water as well.

Made by Toy giant Bandai, the GBound has a waterproof body and huge inflatable tires which not only travels on any surface, but can flip over and drive along upside down.

The car is powered by a rechargble battery pack and the 27MHz remote control lets you move the tires forward and backward individually, making it possible to spin around on one spot. You can also go forward, and then hit back, to flip the car around.

Unveiled at the Tokyo Toy Show, the GBound R/C card is scheduled to be released anytime now for about $140.

This straw would scare you for sure

The Halloween Screaming and Flashing Skull Drinking Straw ought to be the perfect addition to your home then, as this twister straw will bring the skull to life with each sip of yours. His eyes and mouth will flash bright red followed up by a terrifying scream, although we wonder whether with the amount of chatter going on and music in the background, will those screams be loud enough to fill up the home? Each of these straws will cost you $5.70, which means it could end up as a potentially expensive party on your part as a host since most guests would attempt to sneak these straws back for themselves.

Expensive Aquarium Tank for Fishes

If we lived like our pet fish, then we would all live in studio apartments that would, at best, have more useless space. Now this aquarium is something that would give any fish bragging rights. I mean, I can just see a celebrity fish boasting about this “bowl” on a fish version of Cribs.

I mean, look at the thing! It’s like hamster trails designed for fish! This is definitely one place a fish would not mind sharing with other fish. If Gil, the Willem Dafoe fish from Finding Nemo, was in this castle of a fish tank, he never would have tried to escape. This is what Oscar should be living in when he got rich in Shark Tale. Yeah, not many people make references to the latter movie.

Do you those rich people who spend a lot of money on their pets? Consider this $6500 investment a diamond-studded collar for your fish. Yes, that’s is how much this fish tank (if you can even call it that) actually costs. Why shouldn’t fish get some of the rich-doting action that is usually reserved for dogs and cats?
