Real live Beetle battling has been big in Asia for some time. Here in the states, not so much. It must be because it’s hard to train beetles. Yoko Ono tends to distract at least one of them. These RC beetles have 4 degrees of movement and can even lift up to try to flip their enemy.

You get 1 beetle per pack, with a training target for practice. The remote takes 4 AA batteries and will also charge your beetle. The contenders weigh in at 50 x 90 x 145mm. Just imagine all of the fun you will have as you try to rise to the top of the Fake Insect Fighting league or FIF. “John has Ringo on the ropes. What’s this? Paul has entered the ring illegally. Have you ever seen a pincher hold so effective?”

The price of $44.50 may seem steep, but let’s face it, you were born to be a Beetle Battler.
