Remote Controlled Black Widow Spider Probably Won't Last Very Long
We figure this RC Black Widow Spider is good for maybe one, possibly two, good scares before a skittish family member offs it with a well-placed slipper to the head.

Requires six AA batteries, one 9-volt battery, about $36, and a forgiving family that doesn't instinctively squash something that resembles one of the deadliest spiders on the planet.

However, these new mini R/C toys from Brando are a different story. Each rechargeable, iPod shuffle-sized racer comes with a 6-direction IR controller and shell and banana accessories. Plus, it comes in Mario, Luigi, Koopa and Yoshi varieties. Available for $24 each. More »
