Tiny Picco Z Making Big Waves

Dec 6 2006, 9:00am CST | by Shane McGlaun

We have been talking a lot recently about the cool little Picco Z RC helicopter. Over the last two weeks, we have posted both a written review as well as a video review of the fun to fly RC toy. Now CNN is also covering the tiny Picco Z as well.

According to CNN Silverlit, the maker of the Picco Z, is expecting to ship a huge amount of the tiny toy this Christmas season to the tune of 150,000 units. That is a lot of any type of toy, but for one that has no traditional advertising it is very impressive.The bulk of the advertising for the Picco Z is being done via You Tube thanks to contests like the one Hobbytron is putting on where making a video of your Picco Z in action could win you a portion of $4000 in prizes. However, enthusiastic Picco Z owners post many of the videos for fun. The Picco Z is a fantastic holiday gift, which is a blast for children and adults. Buy your own Picco Z at HobbyTron.
