R/C Vampire Bat with Glowing Eyes
This radio controlled creature would definitely have made it into the Top 13 Strangest R/C Toys list if it would have been around at the time of the writing.
The Vamp differs from most other flying toys because it’s an ‘Ornithopter’ – which means it flaps its wings to fly through the air – just like a real bat.
The scary little creature is 10 inches long and flies around with glowing red eyes and a wingspan of 12 inches. 20-30 minutes of charging will give you about 10 minutes of flight time.
The BladeRunner iVAMP is priced at £34.99 (about $72 USD), but is unfortunately out of stock over at Thumbs Up UK at the moment.
Here’s a video demonstration of the radio controlled vampire bat:

A variation of this is at radioshack for 39.99 dollars. I work there and demo it all the time very fun.
