Yesterday I said that the Vampire Bat definitely would have made it to the Top 13 Strangest R/C Toys list. Here’s another radio controlled toy that should deserve a top 5 position on an updated version of that list.

Now you and a friend (or enemy, really) can finally settle the age old question: who would win in a fight, a ninja or a pirate?

Here’s a video demonstration of the wrestlers in action:

The R/C Pirate vs Ninja ($39.99) set includes the 13-inch inflatable wrestlers and two controllers. One 9V battery is required for each controller and 4 x AA batteries for each Sumo doll.
