Tinker Bell can fly! WowWee gives new Tink toy the gift of flight.

Wednesday 15 October 2008 @ 1:10 pm

For those of you who have always longed for the day you could own a remote controlled flying fairy, this could be your dream come true!  Need to buy a Christmas gift for a girl?  Coming just in time for the holidays to stores near you, the Disney Tinker Bell Flyer might just be the coolest girly gift ever!

Based on the FlyTech Dragonfly(TM) by WowWee launched in 2007 (one of  TIME Magazine’s “Best Inventions of the Year”), this new Disney Tinker Bell toy will provide countless hours of joy.  Using the digital flower-wand remote control (oh so dainty) you can make Tinker Bell soar, glide, and dive ever so gracefully through the air.  You can actually control her speed, direction, and height.  This isn’t one of those cheesy RC toys with a string or line attached to it, this is the real deal.  Don’t worry, Tink is made from durable light-weight materials and is not likely to cause bodily injury should she be accidentally (or not) rammed into someone’s eyeball.

Like the Dragonfly, the Tinker Bell Flyer was created with a dual wing design that provides lift and propulsion.  Thanks to dual-band infrared controls you can fly two Tinks in the same room without problems (except for of course if the users opt for some fairy air combat!).

The Disney Tinker Bell Flyer is safe for ages 6 years and up, requires 4 “AA” batteries, and will set you back about $40.  Magical pixie dust sold separately.

If you are a guy and you just have to have this, or want to buy this toy for a boy, buy the Dragonfly or similar toy from WowWee; they do the same thing and will save the manhood.
