Another day and yet another radio controlled Doctor Who toy (some of you might remember we had the post about Tech Digest’s contest yesterday).
With the Doctor Who Action Figure with R/C K9 ($40) you will get a 5 inch tall Doctor Who and a 2.5 inch tall K9, where the later is radio controlled.

The people over at Tech Digest now have a contest where one lucky UK-residing reader will win a Doctor Who R/C Dalek Battle Pack worth $80.
All you need to do to take part is to answer a simple question.
More about the Doctor Who R/C toy the can be found at Prezzybox.

The 3D Doodle Kit ($10) allows you to make 3 dimensional drawings using a compass style instrument and a blue and a red pen. The colored lines have the effect of lifting your creation off the paper, giving it depth when viewed through the special 3D glasses.

The Nido Hideout Cave ($1,188) may not be the cheapest toy to give to your children, but it sure looks fun and cute with its yellow bug design.
