RC Helicopter that fires BB Soft Air balls

di Frankie (09/29/2008 - 01:59)


(via Modellimo Hobbymedia) Last february, during the Nuremberg Toy Fair,  I tried a prototype of a super fan RC Hely that fires BB Balls (the same used by air soft gun replicas). Now the taiwanese company Wind Toys & Hobby as finally released it. The Falcon is Co-Axial so it's really easy to controll and can flight 8 minutes before you got to recharge the batteries. It's really fun to play with it indoor and in the garden but, since it uses BB balls, it's really important to wear the protection glasses...

The very first RC Model!

di Frankie (09/05/2007 - 00:34)


Today I was reading the new issue of the japanese magazine RC SPORTS and I found the very first RC model produced in the world: Radicon Bus. This toy has been produced in Japan during the mid 50s. Anyway Google told me that this bus pretty famous among toys collectors... Cool thing that in Japan the word "radicon" is still used as the equivalent of "RC".

GIAPPONE: SHIZUOKA HOBBY SHOW

di Frankie (05/18/2007 - 16:48)




Si è aperta ieri la 46ma edizione dello Shizuoka Hobby Show: la principale fiera di modellismo in Giappone e in Asia. Il modellismo tradizionale statico ed radiocomandato la fanno da padroni, ma ci sono anche alcuni interessanti stand pieni di statuette in vinile delle protagoniste femminili (più o meno svestite) dei principali manga, anime e videogiochi prodotti in Giappone. Inoltre nello stand Bandai sono stati presentati i Gunpla che verranno prodotti nei prossimi mesi (oltre ai toys da collezione della serie Chougokin).
