Takara Tomy QFO Micro Remote Controlled UFO [Ultra Terrestrial Take on the Picco Z]

Way back when we were barely established (and we are now, right?) we not only featured the Picco Z but we actually gave them away, but what if you’re looking for a micro remote controlled ariel vehicle that has a somewhat out of this world flavour? This QFO micro remote controlled UFO from Takara Tomy may just be the answer.

Conclusive proof, were it needed, that ‘they’ are not only especially small but that they have a particular penchant for polystyrene (it takes all sorts) this QFO also serves to indicate that quite apart from wanting to phone home they actually only have getting back home on their minds as this QFO appears to be limited to vertical transition alone. That said, thanks to the especially lightweight nature of this Takara Tomy QFO UFO – it weighs in at a mere 9g – they really haven’t a hope as even the slightest breeze will undoubtedly send them on a voyage of enforced discovery of your back yard only to become lodged in a bush, eaten by the dog, etc. (In mind of this quite why the critters in this UFO are merely intent on vertical transition may, perhaps, be perfectly understandable).

The QFO, which measures in at a mere 65×65x43mm, can fly up to 8 of your Earth meters (which means the little chaps within are screwed), is available for around $55 and, as you’d probably gathered, indoor use only is recommended.
