This remote controlled Lego R2-D2 may not be princess-powered (200 ponypower, glitter injected), but it’s impressive nonetheless.
See it in action after the break.

BYU student Nicholas Homer had a dream. A dream to ride around campus on a motorized couch to pick up ladies and Wendy’s burgers. He realized that dream, but BYU ripped it away from him. But that doesn’t change the fact that he has inspired slackers everywhere by building a couch you can drive. He built it, and it was good.
So today we salute you, Mr. Motorized Couch College Guy. Because sometimes it takes a lot of work to be this lazy.
In anticipation of the upcoming film Tron Legacy, Disney Consumer Products will release a remote-controlled version of the Tron Legacy Light Cycle that uses suction technology, allowing it to drive on walls as easily as it does on the ground. For added realism movie accuracy, the vehicle also projects a beam of light from the rear, and will lose power and fall off the wall if crossed by another light cycle.
According to the product page, “sensitive remote-controlled handling makes this droid great for flips and stunts!” It also features 18 remote-fired cannons and a clone trooper action figure.
Sounds cool, but you will have to be patient. Pre-orders are beginning now for August shipment.

Hasbro continues the theme of awesome remote controlled toys with this R/C Iron Man action figure which will retail for about $50 whenever it hits the shelves. Among its many cool features are shoulder and arm projectile blasters, sound effects and the ability to walk over any smooth surface. However, there’s no flying feature, and he doesn’t have the ability to reason, so unless you want to pretend that Iron Man has severe emotional problems, there’s no need to walk him off the edge of a table.

There is not much salesmanship required to get anyone to purchase one of these water guns. If you include the words 100 foot water stream, remote controlled and 270 degrees of rotational movement, I think you can guarantee they will be purchasing it.

If you’ve never noticed how depressing your surroundings are at work, prepare to get a guided tour by this remote controlled, 3 foot party blimp. It’s a great way to celebrate birthdays, retirements, promotions, or the firing of a hated co-worker. Plus it will look great lit by those harsh florescent lights, against a background of cold, white walls and those obligatory office ceiling panels with the little pin holes in them that are always stained and broken. Now that’s a party atmosphere, my friend.

We have come across remote controlled zombies before, but I think you will agree that the 4-foot long Dead Fred version is just a little more elaborate. It runs on four DC motors powered by two 12-volt batteries and it can groan, scream and talk in digital sound via an onboard amp and speaker. Plus, you can control the whole thing via a handy remote control. It’s definitely not cheap at $2650, but if you have the means, you might want to get in on the action early to get it in time for Halloween. A video of Dead Fred in action is available after the break.
