Another gem I found on BotJunkie.com today was the RCRC or Radio Controlled Robotic Car from Hammacher Schlemmer. It has the ability to transform from a car to a truck to a free standing humanoid robot, and at $89.95, I can see this toy being on many kids (or adults) Christmas list.

From hammacher.com
"This remote-controlled vehicle transforms from a sports car to a truck, and into an upright robot that towers over ordinary racers. In sports car mode and truck mode, the vehicle is controlled by a remote control simple enough for young drivers, with frontward and backward toggles, and left or right turns executed in a spinning motion."



"The transformation to a robot requires two simple joystick commands. In standing mode, the robot can spin left and right, performing a dance as its LED lights shine. The rechargeable battery provides up to 30 minutes of operation from a four-hour charge from the AC adapter. The 100'-range controller requires one 9V battery."
