Attack of the giant flying cockroach

Weird toys: The ultimate in unhygenic robot toys.

Yep, we're not kidding. If you're a fan of cockroaches and RC toys, prepare to explode in some kind of joy-splosion.

We really don't have words to describe this (and certainly not following certain cockroaches-flying-at-a-certain-editors-head event), but thankfully Gizmine, the purveyors of this fine product, do:

We offer very popular, authentic USB sushi drives for people who don't conveniently live in Tokyo, and we offer this product for people who don't live in New York.

The remote control also acts as a docking station, allowing you to charge the insect. A 30 minute charge yields five minutes of flying.

 Oh... yay. The flying bug is about six inches long, and will set those desperate enough back about $US60.
