This is nothing like the foam floaters that your local boat and/or bait shop used to pass out, no; this thing can keep up to a full kilogram afloat instead of the measly one or two keys of the foam key chains. At a full kilogram, you could almost use this thing to catch fish depending on how big they were.
My brother and I tended to have all kinds of battles, usually involving Super Soakers, Nerf guns and the occasional rubber band gun. That is until one of us got mad or injured. Thankfully, my eye seems to have healed very well since they replaced it with this shiny new one. As a fully mature and responsible adult, I would still kick my brother’s ass if given the chance. Which makes me drool with envy over a rubber band gun that could propel 288 rubber bands in his general direction.
If you’re into creepy crawlies or even just taking a better look at the things around you then you need look no further than the EyeClops. The Jakks Pacific EyeClops BioniCam is a portable microscope with some extra special features.
Colour me smitten, Sega Toys have updated their awesome Yume Neko Smile robotic cat. Its name translating as “Dream Cat Smile”, I fell hopelessly in love with the animatronic kitty back in 2006, tested the furry white masterpiece in February last year, and now the company has launched a new, talking version at the Tokyo Toy Forum this week.
Check out a video of the new Yume Neko Smile after the cut!
Interactive Toy Concepts, the people that brought you half a ton of flying gadgets and toys were showing of a yet to be released new product the other night at CES Unveiled. It was a small shelf stereo that had 8 GE Vacuum tubes backed by some digital amps, some really nice, moderately high end speakers attached to it and the whole set sounded pretty amazing.
This teeny helicopter comes in at just 2.5” tall, less than 4” long and has a diameter of 3.5”. It fits in the palm of your hand. Interactive Toy Concepts used advanced micro motor technology and patented dual rotor design to enable this Micro Aerial Vehicle (M.A.V.) to have a precise and stable flight. It will have seamless turns, ascents, descents and hovering abilities within a 20ft. range.
It has a rechargeable lithium polymer batter for 7 minutes of flying with only a 5 minute charge. That doesn’t seem like a lot of time but since it’s for kids 10+ I’m sure it’ll be plenty with their attention spans. Expect to see it out this year for around $50.
After 500 years Da Vinci’s concepts are still being used. This M.A.V. Ornithopter is the smallest of it’s kind coming in with a wingspan of less than 5”, a height of just over 1” and length just over 3.5”.
Also from Interactive Toy Concepts we saw the RC Cooler which is exactly how it sounds, fun. We all know that fetching yourself another drink can become a hassle, especially after you’ve had a few, and that’s where the RC Cooler comes in handy.
Look at this thing, if it was all black I’d think it was straight out of Magnum PI. It’s a miniature Hughes 300 helicopter that is remote controlled.
I’ve played laser tag maybe twice in my life and from what I remember I loved it. I’ve never fired an actual gun and I’ll adamantly let you know that I’m against guns but for some strange reason I do enjoy playing games that involve them. Perhaps in another life I was huntress. Who knows.
