The Wednesday Thing remote control toy has been unveiled by [Jada Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jurassic-park-replica) as a new product for avid fans of the [namesake series of The Addams Family](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday) in general to pick up this season. The toy is characterized by its gruesome construction that looks just like a severed hand and can be controlled by the user via a remote control to have it creep around in an unsightly manner. The result is a toy that will instantly creep out those not expecting to see it, while providing operators with the ability to creep around quietly.

The Wednesday Thing remote control toy can be recharged via a USB connection and requires two AAA batteries for controller. The toy is available now and is expected to be a hit amongst fans as we head into the holiday season.
