CES 2008: Never get up from your pool lounger again, thanks to the RC Cooler
There’s really nothing better than lazing around in the sun next to your pool with an ice cold beer. Or at least I’m fairly sure there isn’t – but then I live in a third floor flat in Scotland, which pretty much rules out ‘pools’ and ‘sun’ all at once. One thing I definitely don’t like doing is hauling my lazy arse out of a chair to go and find more beer, which is why the Interactive Toy Concepts RC Cooler looks fantastic.
Treat yourself to an 18" voice-controlled Dalek for all your crazy Doctor Who gatherings
I really wanted to put a life-size image of the 18″ Dalek to accompany this post, and could, due to the SUPER HI-RES image the company provided me with, but unfortunately Tardis says no. Oh, wrong cult TV show quotage? Whoops…
With a couple of in-built operating modes (including voice-programmable movement for all your sordid pornographic requirements), this 18-incher…
Firebox doesn't want you to Wake The Dog
Joining the menagerie of Firebox toys is ‘Don’t Wake The Dog’, a plastic contraption which gives up to four players a whole load of fun.
The aim of the game…
Halo 3 Kubrick toys provide a new way to play with Master Chief
Xbox 360 owners are getting sweaty-palmed at the thought of getting their hands on Halo 3 next week (well, apart from the ones who bagged early copies through Argos, of course). But how to fill your time until its released? My suggestion: 2.5-inch Japanese art toys. Obviously.
Bop It updated for the download generation
The highly addictive and frustrating game, Bop It!, has had a makeover for the download generation, to become… Bop It Download!
It features the same gameplay as before, but now allows you to replace that irritating bloke that shouts and screams at you when you “pull it” when you should’ve “twisted it” with your own sounds.
SEE toys: A range of eco-friendly toys charged by kid-power
The Zen Design Group is to launch a range of children’s toys which feature LEDs powered by a hand crank that the child operates to provide power to the rechargeable batteries.
SEE Toys (Safety, Ecology, and Economy) include Dynafly, a laughing bug which moves its arms and head and whose eyes and tail light up with LEDs when the crank is turned.
“I wasn’t trying to be trendy,” said company president, Sun Yu. “I looked at my product line one day and thought about how nice it would be to not have to replace and purchase batteries. The product I wanted to make just fit into the times.”
Style yourself ghetto-fabulous and abuse yourself crazy with Tomy's Mock U Rapper toys
If you don’t get abused enough as is in the office environment, then the sadists amongst us will be probably wanting to head over to the Tomy website to pick up one of their new Mock U Rapper toys.
Choose between birds, monkeys or cows, who are all sat in trees bizarrely, and simply record a short message into the device, then et voila! The animals…
Star Wars Chubbies: like Russian dolls with The Force
I always thought a Star Wars Chubby is what male sci-fi fans get during those scenes where Princess Leia is in her scanties. But no. Apparently, Star Wars Chubbies are a new range of toys being sold by Firebox, which are like little Russian dolls based on Star Wars characters.
Shiny Video Preview: Roboquads
It's a video. It's got four-legged dancing robots in it. Do you really need any more reasons to watch?
R2D2 mobile media robot – more video footage
Look at you, being all blase. You’ve seen it all before, haven’t you? Modern cynic. Try taking a look at this. He may be familiar from CES, but we got new footage of the R2D2 mobile media centre at London’s Toy Fair yesterday, and we know you haven’t seen it before.
