An RC Car Takes Boy Toy of the Year Honors

One of the top radio controlled toys of the '06 holiday season, the Wild Planet Spy Video RC Car was named the Boy Toy of the Year at the 2007 American International Toy Fair (About Toys, Dipika Mirpuri). All we need now for the RC hobby to really take over toy town is to create a radio controlled Elmo (Toy of the Year) riding a radio controlled version of the FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony (Girl Toy of the Year) -- with a RC spy camera mounted on the pony, of course.

Additionally, Guide Dipika Mirpuri reports that the "Property of the Year, for the licensor that had the greatest success spreading its brand or property throughout the industry while generating interest and excitement" went to Disney Pixar's Cars. That property included several radio controlled versions of Lightning McQueen, Mater, and other RC "Cars" toys.
