Crave has seen all manner of remote-controlled spy bots, flying gadgets and even pirate ships with working catapults that kids can use to terrorize their families. But none can compare with the "Uncle Milton RC Tarantula." This horrible thing scurries, crawls and even has "a furry texture just like the real thing." As if that weren't enough, its eyes can light up just at the right moment (like on a pillow next to a napping parent's head). And for only $25, just in time for Mother's Day.
