It’s been a long times (sic) since we’ve had a small radio controlled helicopter. Takara Tomy has just unveiled a new one, the QFO.

Now our toy is in shape of a UFO. It measures 65×65x43mm, and will be available at the end of this month.

A quick check on the Takara Tomy website has revealed several more new lines of remote-controlled toys: Hover-Q and Aero Spider. While there isn’t much on these websites currently, the Hover-Q looks to be a mini remote-controlled hovercraft and more information will up on the official site mid-September.

The Aero Spider on the other hand, is a rebranding of the Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro (I can’t link to the product page directly as it is a pure Flash website) under the Takara Tomy brand. It’s an RC car which uses vacuum to drive on walls and ceilings. Get set for some Newton-defying fun for a slightly pricey 4725 yen this October.

Here’s a Shiny Review video of the car in action. Nice try.
