The Silverlit company is continuing to come up with fun new ideas for their steadily growing stream of radio-controlled toys. The latest example is the Planet Protector.

This futuristic helicopter features a brave pilot who is “defending the Earth against invaders by attacking their spy satellite station with his infra-red laser beam”.

You can fly the Planet Protector on a mission to defeat the satellite station and when you score a direct hit it’ll explode in a blast of light and noise! But the fun’s not over there, as it can be re-assembled for another round of battle!

Here’s a video demonstration of the Planet Protecto in action:

Featuring Silverlit’s famous super-wide infrared control system and fast charging through the transmitter unit, together with sturdy construction that means it can handle bumpy landings or crashes and get right back into the air again afterwards, the Planet Protector is an awesome ground-attack challenge! Auto-stability and precision controls mean it’s easy to learn to fly too.

The Silverlit Planet Protecto will soon be available from the Thumbs Up UK website. The suggested retail price has been set to £34.99 (about $52 USD).

This radio-controlled car features a built-in digital video camera that transmits a live feed to the controller and its 2.4-inch color TFT LCD video monitor. And to top it enough, they have also managed to squeeze in an interactive laser game.

The car has a remote control with an extra long range (up to 30 meters) and can control the cars movement by eyesight or via the LCD monitor. Maneuvering the car could not be simpler, the controller has sensitive left/right and forward/backward stick controls, while the controller itself is handheld and feels similar in function and use to a modern video game control pad.

Here’s a video showing the video-equipped R/C car in action:

This sports car has a laser function and can be used to play lasertag with your friends. And the fun isn’t even over yet! You can also use the cars video transmission function to view what the neighbors are doing.

The Deluxe R/C Sportscar with Video Camera measures 39(L) x 23(W) x 13(H) cm and it is powered with a rechargeable 9.6V battery pack. The controller requires 8 x AA batteries. The product is available from Chinavision for 71.35 EUR (about $89 USD).

Remember that Laser Target Alarm Clock that was all over the blogs in the beginning of this year? A new model from the Japanese Bandai company has now been released.

The Gun O’Clock looks slightly different and features two wake-up modes: Normal and Hard. The first one works as the original clock; the alarm goes off, you hit the target, the alarm shuts down. But with the Hard mode you will need to hit the target 5 times.

This spherical speaker allows you to project safe, vibrant laser patterns onto your wall or ceiling while playing music from your iPod or any other MP3 player.

Khet is a board game with four types of playing pieces, two of them equipped with mirrors. There are only there movement choices in the simple game, and the goal is to eliminate your opponent’s Pharaoh – by firing a red laser.

Each side of the board is equipped with its own laser, which you press after your turn. The laser bounces from mirror to mirror (always shooting off at a 90 degree angle). If the laser hits any piece on a non-reflective surface, that piece is removed from play.

If you eliminate your opponent’s Pharaoh, you win. If you eliminate your own Pharaoh, you will be mocked for all time.

The Khet Laser Game is available from ThinkGeek for $37.99.

Remember the ZFlyer R/C Astronaut from earlier this year? This looks like a mini version of that radio controlled toy, but this one is sold in pair.

The goal here is to hit your opponent with laser beams, just like all those battling helicopters that have been popping up in all shapes and sizes lately.

This Dueling Space Marines Copter Set gets you a set of two mini r/c helicopters with infra-red laser tag style battle action. Take to the air from the palm of your hand then use the shoulder button on the remote unleash a plasma blast your opponent copter. Each shot causes the gun of your space marine to flash with simulated gunfire. The first hit causes your enemy to spin. The second makes the enemy copter lose power… the third cuts rotor power completely as your opponent plummets to the ground and you gloat in victory.

Remember Beamz that we wrote about last week, the device that allows you to play musical by breaking laser beams with your hands.

Do you have a tendency to shut the alarm off before you’re even awake? Maybe some accurate target shooting will keep you from falling asleep again.

A laser beam aimed at the exact center of the target is the only way to turn off the alarm aound in the morning. When someone wakes up to an alarm sound and has to concentrate to carefully aim a laser beam at a target, they will be suitably awake so as not to easily fall back asleep. Battery operated.

The Laser Target Alarm Clock is available from UrbanTrend.

Here we have yet another fun radio controlled toy where the goal of the game is to hit your opponent with laser beams, just like the Bumper Cars and very much like the Picoo Z Sky Challenger.

Take to the air from the palm of your hand then use the shoulder buttons on the remote to fire at your opponent copter. A hit causes the shot copter to spin out of control and crash. Luckily these Battling copters are tough enough to keep coming back for more aerial dogfights. However to truly dominate the sky, you’ll need to practice up on your flying skills.

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

Product Features:

• Set of two amazingly small Infrared Remote control helicopters
• Helicopters battle by shooting invisible IR beams
• A hit sends your opponent spinning out of control
• Flashing Blue LED for Night Flying
• Intended for indoor use. Outdoor flying only under ZERO wind conditions.
• Full Flight control with up/down and turn right/left
• Body is constructed from durable EPP foam
• Internal helicopter battery charges from remote control unit
• 15 minute charge time, 5 – 7 minute flight time
• Extra tail rotor included

The Battling Palmsize Havoc Helicopters ($100) come in set of two.

Some of you might remember the Picoo Z Sky Challenger R/C helicopter that we covered not long ago. Here is the same idea, but with cars instead.

The Remote-Controlled Laser Combat Cars ($100) have infrared lasers that are fired by the handheld remote controls. The battle ends when one of the cars is hit ten times.

These remote-controlled cars have infrared lasers that are fired by the handheld remotes, allowing two users to engage in combat, or one of the cars can be switched to artificial intelligence mode, enabling one player to battle a microprocessor-controlled car. The remote controls use digital proportion trim to move the cars forwards, backwards, right, and left, including clockwise and counterclockwise pivots that allow you to turn quickly and fire at your opponent. During combat, the lasers are aimed by directing the front of the car at your opponent, and the lasers can be fired without limit, while each shot causes the laser cannon to recoil. The battle ends when one of the cars is hit ten times, and at the touch of a button, an invisible shield protects the cars from lasers for five seconds. Includes a boundary to contain cars during battle. Cars require six AA batteries each. Remote controls require one 9-volt battery each. 6 1/3″ L x 4 1/2″ W x 3″ H.

Do you want to make sure that your brand new widescreen TV gets a perfectly level installation? The Multi-Function Mini Laser Level ($17) can help you on the way. It uses a red laser to measure the horizontal and vertical line, accurately and efficiently.

Features:

• The magnetic base which easy to mount on any metal surface
• AAA battery x 2 pcs

Fed up with the door and fender dings on your car from pulling into your two-car garage too deep or too far to the side? Then park like a pro, every time, with the Dual Laser-Guided Parking System. Designed specifically for two-car garages, this automatic guidance system allows you to pull into the exact same spot time and time again with laser-beam accuracy! Best of all, the parking system is easy to install, requiring only a Phillips screwdriver.
