In the same category of the enormously popular toy R/C helicopters is WowWee's FlyTech Dragonfly. Rather than a propeller, this guy flaps his wings furiously to fly around. It has a remote and can be controlled in two different modes — beginner and expert. Beginner is a good way to get a hang of flying the guy and expert allows for a wide variety of tricks and maneuvers to be performed. Be careful, though. This is liable to be one of those toys broken easily, especially with those darned rowdy kids. $42. [Best Buy]

Asking for R/C cars and other vehicles is no longer limited to children. The latest trend this year in remote control toys are the miniature helicopters. These tiny copters can fly around anywhere easily tormenting people and pets. A variety of companies make these type of helicopters, but they are all fundamentally the same and usually sell in the $20 to $30 range. [Product Page]
