People will be so over the traditional remote-controlled helicopter once they set their eyes on Otto Dieffenbach's creations.

Built in joint effort with his partner Ed Hanley, Otto Dieffenbach's toys can take on the likeness of any person or character for any type of commercial or recreational flying, not just superheros. Nevertheless, it seems more appropriate focusing on this theme. From Superman to Iron Man and Ms Emerson, people will be clamoring to get their hands on one. Interestingly, this is simply a hobby for Otto Dieffenbach, who is based in San Diego.
