Its called the Remote Controlled Manta Ray.  Gliding thorough the water like a real Manta Ray, this Radio Controlled Toy is a must have for RC enthusiasts out there.

The RC Manta Ray can dive to a maximum depth of 8′ and be controlled with the remote up to 6′ away, therefore make sure you are a good swimmer if you’re going to buy one of these because you will have to keep up.

Thrusters control diving, ascending, or surfacing of the Manta Ray, these are independently controlled on the underside of the remote and can take a little time to get used to. Forward, backwards, left, and right propellers are easily controlled with the thumb toggle.

Rubiks TouchCube Lights

When I was a kid I had a Rubik’s cube and I never actually solved it, actually that’s a lie I did manage to solve it once by taking all the colored stickers off and putting them back on in the right place.  Deputizing at the American International Toy Fair, the Rubik’s TouchCube is an electronic version of the popular toy, however it has colored LED lights replacing the colored stickers of the original design. Featuring a random scramble button, the Rubik’s TouchCube puzzle can be reset if you manage to solve it.  Moving the cube around is simple; just pass your fingers across the relevant block and the colored LED rotate.

Price: Unknown
Available: Techno Source
