WowWee FlyTech slams into Disney, out pops hovering Tinker Bell

It's true -- we're suckers for anything that simultaneously satisfies our lust for robotics and brings back childhood memories of passing the day with Disney films. To that end, we couldn't resist the opportunity to swoon over WowWee's latest stroke of brilliance, the $39.99 FlyTech Tinker Bell. Entirely more rad than that soulless Bladestar, this here fairy promises to posses that same spirited sassiness as the Disney character, and the flower wand remote control really caps things off. She can buzz around and delight guests for 4-minutes on an 18-minute charge, and her "crash-resistant materials prevent her from getting into mischief." Oh wait, it's appropriate for Earthlings ages 6 years and up? Huzzah!

Creeeepy! Oh but just in time for the holidays. :(

I'd perfer to save my money for the 5 foot 6inch Tinker Bell polyurethane life-like doll.

[Chris Taylor @ Oct 18th 2008 5:08AM]

I think LIFE SIZE would be about 6 inches :-)

[Nate @ Oct 15th 2008 10:47AM]

Slow day?

[who? @ Oct 15th 2008 10:53AM]

Just in, a dancing Pikachu doll is for sale in Japan!

Soooo... Any actual news?

It's a blog, its not like the run out of printing space or anything. Although they really should have covered Chrome, I think they avoided it because AOL is a competitor to Google in some market segments.

Considering I don't see a propeller (maybe hiding behind the back or removed for the photo?) or any controls on the remote (maybe motion sensitive, maybe you use the flower as a thumb-pad?), I wonder if they managed to invent fairy dust as well.

[ilh @ Oct 15th 2008 11:31AM]

Flappy wings just like the RC dragon flies...dunno about the controls, turn the flower for thrust?

@telepheedian

Contrary to what people believe, some user do suffer if they read something they don't want to. They don't know how to skip an article.

Think happy thought MFers. :|

[refriedbeans19 @ Oct 15th 2008 11:41AM]

talk about gay

[ChuChu @ Oct 15th 2008 1:17PM]

If it will help make you more secure about your sexuality you can paint some skulls on her wings and write "badass power stick" on the wand.

[Max @ Oct 15th 2008 12:57PM]

Obviously none of you guys have left the keyboard long enough to procreate. My daughter will LOVE this.

[dajimmers @ Oct 15th 2008 7:01PM]

Funny, I was thinking that my wife will LOVE this. Christmas shopping done :-)

[DirtyVegas @ Oct 15th 2008 1:49PM]

Does it make that pixie-sprinkling-magic-dust-sound? Does it sprinkle pixie dust?

[StalematE @ Oct 15th 2008 2:51PM]

only if you mod it to... and are flaming gay

[-Tj- @ Oct 15th 2008 3:10PM]

Anyone else read that as "out poops hovering Tinker Bell?"

[glenn s @ Oct 15th 2008 3:27PM]

Now I can get my son the Air Hogs toys that he ( really me ) want this holiday, AND I can get this for my daughter and nobody will feel left out. Well, at least until the Air Hogs Avenger shoots poor Tinkerbell down. Oh, and watching the kittens go crazy over indoor RC toys triples the fun.

[jc @ Oct 15th 2008 5:13PM]

honestly, the air hog sucks more than this thing probably does.

Navi, it's that you?

[Taz @ Oct 15th 2008 8:29PM]

Hey, looks like she's put on a few pounds!

[Jeff Turner @ Oct 17th 2008 6:49AM]

Watch the Flytech Dragonfly in action.magical flying wonder is the perfect introduction to flight.
Seems pretty interesting.
Thanks Kamagra
