Seeing as the iFly Vamp is essentially a remote controlled bat we briefly considered writing this in the style of Count Dracula. But zat vood be zilly, vooden it? Besides, once you see Vamp in flight you'll realise it doesn't need any gimmicky sales spiel.

Ultra eerie, ridiculously clever and frighteningly entertaining, the rechargeable iFly Vamp is unlike other motorised flying thingies because it is an ornithopter. Which, as everyone with access to Google knows, means it flaps its wings in order to flit about the skies. It really is a sight to behold. And at only 12"x10" Vamp is the smallest R/C ornithopter in the world.

Although Vamp gets in a flap, you won't because this is one supremely manoeuvrable little beast. As soon as you get to grips with the twin toggle transmitter (which doubles up as a charger) you'll be swooping around indoors and outside, making sharp turns, fluttering across the night skies and generally scaring the bejesus out of cowering onlookers. And thanks to Vamp's realistic membranous wings and sinister glowing red eyes you might even make the Van Helsings of this world wet their pants with fear. Aargh!


Despite its size, Vamp is extremely durable and will withstand the roughest of landings. Which is just as well because this ready-to-fly critter utilises some genuine state-of-the-art jiggery pokery to keep it airborne. Best of all you won't have to travel to some Transylvanian robot dimension to get hold of one because we've got a whole colony of the scary little blighters here at Castle Firebox. Indeed, we think Vamp's going to fly (well, flap) off the shelves faster than you can say Nosferatu. Zo hit ze Buy button and make it znappy. Mwa-ha-ha!
