Takara Tomy has put together a remote-control Mario Kart toy.  It is called the Q-Street RC Car and it is the smallest available remote controlled car made by Takara Tomy.  The remote and the car both require a couple coin-sized batteries for both.  The toy costs about $30 and ships in about 5-10 days.  It also comes with a banana peel and a Koopa Troopa shell to throw your Super Mario Kart off.  Not a bad follow up for Tomy since they announced the world’s smallest RC robot late last month.

Takara-Tomy boasts that their RoBo-Q is the world’s smallest remote controlled walking robot.  The robot stands at 1.3 inches tall.  There is a tiny robot-shaped case to carry it around in.  When charging the robot it hangs with the power prongs.  There is an auto mode where the robot walks on their own and uses detectors to to avoid obstacles.  The RoBo-Q costs about 4,800 yen ($51).

It can be bought from GeekStuff4u.
