This teeny helicopter comes in at just 2.5” tall, less than 4” long and has a diameter of 3.5”. It fits in the palm of your hand. Interactive Toy Concepts used advanced micro motor technology and patented dual rotor design to enable this Micro Aerial Vehicle (M.A.V.) to have a precise and stable flight. It will have seamless turns, ascents, descents and hovering abilities within a 20ft. range.
It has a rechargeable lithium polymer batter for 7 minutes of flying with only a 5 minute charge. That doesn’t seem like a lot of time but since it’s for kids 10+ I’m sure it’ll be plenty with their attention spans. Expect to see it out this year for around $50.

CES 2008: Unveiled RC Cooler
Also from Interactive Toy Concepts we saw the RC Cooler which is exactly how it sounds, fun. We all know that fetching yourself another drink can become a hassle, especially after you’ve had a few, and that’s where the RC Cooler comes in handy.
Mini Hughes 300 Fairy helicopter is worlds smallest and lightest
Look at this thing, if it was all black I’d think it was straight out of Magnum PI. It’s a miniature Hughes 300 helicopter that is remote controlled.

Deluxe Laser Challenge Pro Set
I’ve played laser tag maybe twice in my life and from what I remember I loved it. I’ve never fired an actual gun and I’ll adamantly let you know that I’m against guns but for some strange reason I do enjoy playing games that involve them. Perhaps in another life I was huntress. Who knows.

Flux Capacitor, now all you need to do is get your hands on a De Lorean
Sadly it’s just a replica and won’t help you get back to the day you were conceived so you can slap your dad on the ass as he’s going at it and then laugh maniacally. But it does look cool, and if you do happen to have the good fortune of owning a DMC-12, it would be a very fitting accessory to add to your vehicle.

Hello Kitty – Has the Cat Gone too Far?
I never gave Hello Kitty much thought before today, but after what I’ve seen I must admit I’m a little afraid. Hello Kitty is slowly but surely taking over the world.
It started innocently enough, I’m sure, with DVD’s, clothes, etc… and even this item, the Hello Kitty Bicycle Tires, aren’t that bad. They have the cutesy little kitten’s face imprinted in the tread so wherever you go, Hello Kitty goes too. You can buy them for $20-$25 a piece. To be honest, I passed this item up my first time through. It was the next item that really caught my attention.

MultiGame Tabletop Arcade Machine
The only thing I could think to add would be the world ‘Ultimate’. It is the ultimate arcade game machine. For all those old school gamers out there, let me alleviate your burning curiosity.
You will find 48 amazing, flashback to your childhood, games on this one machine. They include some of my personal favorites like: Dig Dug, Pac Man, Space Invaders, Galaga, Galaxian, Donkey Kong, Frogger, New Rally X and Super Breakout. These aren’t remakes either, they are the real deal, live and in color on a 20” screen and you will not be disappointed.

AluRunner high tech sled folds away for convenient transportation
Ever wish, when you were a kid, that you had a sled to go down the hill on that was designed more like a very high end sports car? Well, it might be a little late, and furthermore, it might be a bit more than a kid’s budget could afford, but its here.
This sled is mad from 6061 aluminum that’s buckle resistant (it’s the same stuff they make some pretty high end bike frames out of) and a transparent polycarbonate seat (that’s the same stuff used for crash helmets). Furthermore, there is a shock, ala a car, that sits underneath the seat, and its adjustable per the terrain and the weight of the rider.

Dr. Who Gadgets – Sonic Screwdriver and R/C K9
I’m a big Dr. Who fan, so when I saw these items you can imagine my excitement. The Dr. Who R/C K9 and Sonic Screwdriver are the perfect gift for the Dr. Who buff in your life.
The R/C K9 Robot Dog is a throwback to the original series which came out in the 70’s. He was in a more recent episode so anyone who follows only the new series will recognize him. He speaks 7 different phrases and can move forwards and backwards and do turns. He also as an expendable Nose Blaster along with a few other tricks and surprises. K9 can be yours for just $59.99.

The Digital Bank – keep track of your pennies
Who doesn’t love saving money, nobody that I know of. Who doesn’t like counting their money, again, same answer. When we count our money and see our hard earned savings it’s a great feeling, the closest we may ever come to Scrooge McDuck and pool of gold. With the Discovery Amazing Money Jar, kids can now experience that same feeling.

AntWorks Habitat
An ant farm is one of those childhood experiences that I never had, Sea Monkeys of course, but no ants. Lucky for me I now live next to a farm who introduced ants into their crop to keep other pests away and many of them find their way into my house. For those of you who are not as lucky as me there is the AntWorks.
Based on a NASA experiment this habitat makes ants cool in a way they never could be. It’s nutritious, yet homey, gel will satisfy all your ants needs, food and shelter. It comes complete with a LED illuminator and comes in blue or red. Each habitat comes with a magnifying glass, an ant catching/tunnel starting tool and an instruction booklet.
