Coolest RC Toys on the Planet - Hobby Toys

Remote control toys are very fascinating to me. In fact, most hobby toys can be interesting.The technology these days is incredible, and continually getting better. This lens is an ongoing collection of pictures, descriptions, facts, videos, and links to resources about remote control toys.

You will find many cool remote controlled things here, such as an Air Balloon Shark, a remote controlled forklift, some RC superheroes that made the news, a creepy zombie, and many more.

Have fun!

Remote Control Shark

The Air Swimmers - Air Shark is my personal favorite. Of course I do have a bias on this one, since I happen to own one of these. "Santa" brought this one to our house for Christmas this year. It does take 2 people, a bit of time and cursing to put it together, but the payoff is totally worth it!

It requires helium to fill it up, which you can either do at a party supply store, or get a disposable tank. I got my helium from Walmart for around 25 bucks, but you can also get helium from Amazon.

You can also get it from Amazon. The Air Swimmers brand also makes clown fish, bass fish, and angry birds versions.

Air Swimmers are controlled with a very simple remote control with 2 functions. The one on the left makes it go up and down, and the one on the right makes the back fin flap back and forth to go forward or turn.

My son's 7th birthday was held in a party room above a swimming pool after a pool party. I figured it would be a perfect time to bring out the remote control air shark while they were eating cake. I didn't know how the kids and parents would react. Would they enjoy it, or would I have a bunch of scared and crying children to console, and a room full of parents to apologize to? The video of this event can be seen below!:

Here is the video of the remote control air shark at the birthday party. I am the one controlling, and my wife is the one taking the video. It was an instant hit! Although, a couple of the adults didn't seem too amused I guess, oh well.

All the kids loved it and many of the adults reached for their camera phones! Afterwards, I let all the kids pass the controller around and take turns playing with it!

Amazon has helium for your air shark or for balloons or whatever!

This is a custom made remote control Superman. It made the news!

Not sure if this is something you can buy anywhere. If you know, please comment and let me know. There also seems to be other superhero versions.

The remote control zombie is not really technologically advanced, but I still think it's a cool toy. I think you just turn it on and it does it's own thing while it groans. Not much controlling. The real fun would be buying a bunch of these and setting them all up at once as a zombie invasion.

You can find the Remote Control Zombie Here

Or of course you can find it at Amazon.

Grrrooaaaannnn!!!

Hobby Toys #4

What I love about the Remote Control Forklift, is the fact that there is no specific age demographic for this toy!

This would be fun to play with if you are a kid who dreams of one day being able to drive a forklift for real, or an adult to play around with on the desk at work. You can haul around memo pads and stacks of pencils and whatever else you can think of. It makes life in a tiny cubicle just slightly less stressful.

It also makes for a funny gift for someone you know who works in that type of an industrial field!

RC Wooden Toys - Hobby Toys #8

This is a series of wooden toys that are remote controlled. The best part is, you have to assemble them first. A great project idea for you and your kids.

These remote control dinosaurs come in several different "versions" including: Apatosaurus, T-Rex, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops.

They are put together relatively easily. No glue required, they just fit together like a puzzle.

You can use the remote control setting, or switch it over to a freestyle setting that makes the dino react to noises and light instead of the remote.

The remote control rat rolls on wheels and is controlled with simple left and right buttons on the remote control device. Steer the rat where you want or make it spin around in circles. Operate quietly so you can sneak up on people and freak them out!

Just because this subject has been taking the news by storm, I feel obligated to put something about drones here. They are technically remote control! In most cases "iPod Control"!

These ones are just minor and basic, but they can get really complex and crazy!

What was your first ever remote control toy?
