Watch out, JAPAN AT ITS BEST! I might have some difficulties explaining this one to you… Bandai is releasing the “Neko Nyanbou” in Japan sometime in April. So what is it? Well, these are fake cat paws with claws that can be controlled by a small switch hidden in the “handle”. Why on earth would you use these? To scratch your back, to scare a colleague or just as an extension of your arm… the drawings below will explain what I mean. So yes, they are crazy, but that’s exactly what we love about them!

My hat is off to the folks at Bandai – the Japanese toymaker has created a speaker with a diorama of Tokyo’s Ginza district, back in the days (like 1955, dudes). Behold, the Bandai Diorama Speaker:
The 2×1W speaker comes with moving parts, sound effects and a bunch of LED lights. Only 2000 copies have been made and the price is ¥198,000 (about $2,200 USD).
