Takara Tomy's wall-climbing AeroSpider RC car ships this month
We came for the car, we stayed for the promoter. Takara Tomy's previously announced AeroSpider RC car, which mystically scales walls and cruises upside-down, is finally shipping this month in Japan. Cool though that may be, the real news here is the overgrown 4-year old used to show off just how amazing this minuscule vehicle truly is. Head on past the break to see what we mean -- trust us, we wouldn't lead you on like this for nothing.

Ok, he just seems older to me, maybe my 4-year old nephew has a growth problem I'm unaware of, sorry for my sarcasm.

Looking around, it seems it will cost around $43. I wonder how loud it is in person with the turbo fan causing the suction.

Yeah, thats something thats not addressed in these toys. I got my kid a SEGA Neko cat when I was in Japan.
freaked out by the loud mechanical noises, it was like a cat with severe arthritis.

For someone at a loss of words, 5 posts?
Tha tlink was for some $400 thing I'm sure is not the same. I think you are looking for this:

Wow... The crazy Japanese have outdone themselves... just, WOW! Only in Japan...

Japan is funny ^.^ lets just keep it at: "they're youthfull"

They live longer, thus they must age slower.

This is Masi Oka's retarded brother, Jerry. While Masi gets to hang out with Hayden Panettiere, Jerry gets exploited by toy companies.

This thing has been shipping in the US under the "Air Hogs" brand for over a month as the "Zero G Racer". Your local Walmart probably has them in stock right now...

they certainly picked an ugly bastard for this commercial.

@StalematE
It's an unusual marketing strategy but many Japanese "models" are ダサい (uncool).

WTF? He looks scared shitless, or super constipated LOL!
Also looks like a SNL skit!!! LMAO!!

Without bothering to re-watch, the gist of it is:
"Look at this, it's amazing!"
"Climbs walls!"
"Works under the table too."
"Even on my bell-- WTF, no it doesn't!"
Finally: "Mommy, buy me this, okay?!"
Smileypanda @ Oct 1st 2008 7:58PM
OH SNAP!!
airborne @ Oct 1st 2008 7:59PM
You do know that these have been available at Target stores (and probably others) here in the states for a while. Bought one for my kid - about $30.00.
Works fine - a bit loud, but no louder than a regular r/c car. Runs a fairly long time on a charge to - 8-10 minutes.

They carry lot of other cool RC stuff as well.

I think writing in Japanese on an English language blog site is "dasai" since it ultimately becomes "ダサã" or some other gibberish on browsers not set to display unicode characters.
But yeah, that guy sure is ugry.

Damn, that was supposed to have been a reply under raerae's comment. Ah well...

How different are these from the $30 Air Hogs ones I found at Wal-Mart this weekend?

The last time I checked a prime-time Japanese animé show, a teenage girl was been violated in every possible orifice by a giant penis monster. Yeah. This happens a lot I'm told. I doubt this commercial garnered so much as a comment in Japan.

That guy's glasses are about 5 sizes too small.

It sounded like he said "its spinning like a helicopter" at the end of the video...... listen close

LOL! Funniest commercial I have seen since the Stuper Bowl and its not even racist.
