Quite useless but you still would buy them anyway

Here's a few VERY GOOD examples of the sort of toys there are (esp from Japan) which really don't do much BUT people still buy them. (including me)


The PuchiPuchu Infinite Bubble Wrap toy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UU20R4O34o
It gets it's name from the sound it makes when you pop it. Of course IN JAPANESE lah. Cannot imagine when you pop a bubble wrap it goes PUCHI!
Its really ... useless ... but after seeing the videos ... I have a tiny urge to ... buy one.


Soybean Pod Keychain

The description should be green bean lah ... but never mind. It's even more pointless than the bubble wrap. Some of the beans even have faces but you won't be able to choose from the packaging. I guess some people feel delighted when popping out those little green beans out of the pods. Not for me.


Face Bank

This is like the scariest looking bank I've EVER seen. Just look how troll like it looks and the way it gobbles your coin. *shivers*


USB Humping Dog

I WANT THIS!!!
Okay here's another link that I just HAD to share.

Big Bomb Piggy Bank

The problem with this one is ... well ... it SPITS OUT your coins not keep them. But it's darn cute!

You want to play, you put in a coin. It saves you money and lets play too. Wheee.
Not bad considering. Great for the Retro Gamer in you. Not me.

Singing, Flashing, Water Spurting Rubber Ducky

My gosh it's sooo cute. But too bad I don't have a tub.

USB Pole Dancer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyF92zjB1xY&NR=1
You don't have to give her any dollar bills. She won't do you any stripping nor squats but she go round the pole with noises of ... er ... ooh ooh and ah ah ... er. *sweatdrop* I think the guy who invented this, the prototype must have been using a Barbie.

Self Destruct Button Toy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSs4WTtnz0&feature=channel
Want the sensation of a detonator button but without the mess of a C4? This is the one for you. Keke. I love it too. Will get it if I see it.

Aqua Drop

Another visual stimulator. Nice to look at ... but in the end ... it's just water being moved around a nicely shaped tank.

Dancing Flower

You KNOW that you have gotten this or you know a friend who has gotten this or something similar. A plant. A electronically battery eating or solar power PLANT. Remember those leaves that do nothing but wiggle up and down. Another visual stimulant. A real plant is more relaxing and it helps create more oxygen!!! This is a nono for me.

Pekoppa Plant

I know I just dished out on artificial toy plants earlier but this one might change my mind. It looks real and it responds (as in it wiggles and even does a some sort of nod) to your voice or sounds. Really interesting. Hrmmm.
