OK, (The best I could translate) it says that the hovercraft is a amphibious IR contolled exibit as of now. (It is just the prototype.) It seems to be made by Takara and Konami. It deserves some more looking into, so if anyone can get more info it would be great.

Great job on finding the picture! I see that they have wheels. when I translated the origional page it said they were "amphibious". Thanks! If anyone else finds info let us know! I am still interested even if they are just Digi-Qs with new bodies.

Wow, what will they think of next! If they were actually amphibious, I would imagine that they might be difficult to control given their small size. Ripples in the water could cause them to flip over. They look cool though.

Those look really awesome. It looks like the very well might be able to drive on water, because those two fan things on the back look big enough to have motors inside. I don't know about the wheels, though, and how that would be water proof...but those are seriously cool.

Maybe they're just fan driven and the wheels are there for them to roll on when on ground. That'd be a lot more efficient than putting in another fan to make the thing hover. Just speculating though. Anyone know anything about that Audi? Looks crazy.

It's too bad it's not a real hovercraft. I am disappointed.
