Japanese toy maker CCP plans to sell the miniBee this week in Nippon [JP], a remote-controlled micro helicopter. The company claims that at a length of 10cm, the toy is the world’s smallest of its kind (weight: 8 grams).

Available as a red and a blue version, the miniBee will cost $32 when it hits Japanese stores this week. CCP belongs to the heavily internationalized Bandai Namco group, which means the miniBee might find its way outside Nippon one day.
