The present invention provides a radio-controlled toy missile launcher comprising the following elements. A missile launch mount (1) has a first end mounted on a chassis (51) and a second end movable upward and downward. The missile launch mount (1) has at least one missile projector accommodating a missile. A supporting member is provided to mechanically connect the chassis (51) to the missile launch mount (1) for supporting the missile launch mount (1). The supporting member is capable of rising up and falling down the second end of the missile launch mount (1). A thrust applying unit is provided in the missile projector for applying the missile with a thrust enough to allow launching of the missile. A missile holding member is provided in the missile projector for holding the missile from being launched. A holding release member is engaged with the missile holding member for moving the missile holding member to release the missile from holding by the missile holding member thereby to allow launching of the missile by the thrust force.
