Remote Control versions of the M12 Warthog, M274 Mongoose and AV-14 Hornet all go on sale in later this month as Halo 3: ODST hits shelves.
RC toy manufacturer NKOK tells us that the new line of Halo remote control toys will be on sale at Toys R Us, GameStop, Walmart Canada, Blockbusters and specialty retailers.
The Warhog comes with a Master Chief and Blue Spartan. The rear-mounted M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun turret is fully moveable and has a place to position one of the figurines. With a top speed of approx. 7 MPH, the Warthog is the fastest R/C vehicle in the Halo collection. It receives signals at 27 MHz and is powered by six AA batteries; four for the Warthog itself, and two for the controller. The Warthog is now available for $US24.99
The M274 Mongoose comes with a Master Chief figurine. The ATV’s top speed is about 6 MPH and it receives its signals 49 MHz. The Mongoose takes six batteries; four for the Mongoose itself and two for the remote control. It will be available in late September, in time for the release of Halo 3: ODST, for 24.99.
The AV-14 Attack VTOL Hornet is an indoor flying helicopter, lifted by a pair of gyroscopic propellers. It features stability and precision speed control. Operated by a Tri-band infrared control selector, the Hornet can be switched from A to B to C bands to fly with two other Hornets simultaneously. The remote control is powered by six AA batteries and the Hornet itself runs on a rechargeable Li-Poly battery. Available with the Mongoose in late September, the Hornet will be $US34.99.

Dissapointed the Hornet doesn’t have twin props in the ducted fans, oh well. Think the Warthog looks like a must get for the office.
Any word on if these will be coming to Oz?

I’d actually say my favourite cash grab out of the halo franchise would be the halo 3 laser tag plasma rifles and plasma pistols, with the sensors that actually have shields
