Doraemon Helicopter

Juniper Foo | Aug 11, 2005

Those of us who grew up on a diet of comics featuring the inimitable Xiao Ding Dang or Doraemon will remember being awed by the numerous secret devices he pulls out of his belly pouch, including the take-koputaa, a simple child's propeller toy that both the bot and his pals don to gain the ability to fly. Now that an actual flying Doraemon (using an R/C helicopter) has gone on sale, collectors will surely want to add this to their wish list. Reality bites, though, as the blades don't allow for any right or left turns. For the record, this Gadget Cat from the Future (minus ears) emerged far earlier than the other Japanese feline (the one minus lips).

I guess it's still a bit removed from the original takekoputaa that Doraemon had. The one he had is made from bamboo (take) and it had 2 propeller blades, not 4 like this version.

Saying that though, they should come out with a version that we can attach to our own head or ass just like the ones that Doraemon dispenses out to Nobita and friends. Not advisable for those with wigs though. =P
