Very cool RC toy: “Mission Carrier SWAT truck” with helicopter (video)

Just yesterday we featured Bandai’s cool remote-controlled heli-robot Sky Armor, and now the same company (its subsidiary CCP, to be exact) announced the Mission Carrier SWAT [JP], a combination of a truck and helicopter. And this toy is even better than Sky Armor.

The cool thing about the SWAT truck is the sound and the elevating deck: Push a button on the remote to make the panels in the back of the truck open and reveal the mini helicopter inside of it. The helicopter can then be controlled just like every other RC helicopter (for 5 minutes after a 30 minute charge). Needless to say, you can also let the truck itself drive around.

The Mission Carrier SWAT set will be available only in Japan from the end of this month (price: $90). Contact the Japan Trend Shop or Geek Stuff 4 U if you want to get one shipped outside Japan.

Mini aircrafts: The Honeybee series gets two new models

Japanese toy maker CCP is selling two wireless, remote-controlled mini model aircrafts that are part of the company’s so-called HoneyBee series of palm-size flying aircrafts. The Skyvehicle [JP] is designed to look like a helicopter but features three wheels so it can move while being on the ground as well.

The mini helicopter can not only move forward but also to the left or right. Charge it for 30 minutes and you can let the thing fly for about 5 minutes. The Skyvehicle costs $42.

The V-22 Osprey [JP] (pictured above) seems to be cooler though. It can glide over the ground or lift off vertically and looks bad-ass. It costs $63 in Japan.

CCP is part of Bandai Namco group, meaning these models might find their ways outside Japan one day. If you don’t want to wait, contact specialized online shops Japan Trend Shop, Gizmine or Geek Stuff 4 U.
