The best part is, this is not a hack. It’s a new toy. And it’s going on my Christmas list.
I mean, my sons‘ Christmas list.
To go with the built-in camera is a built-in, tiny LCD. They also give you a mount so you can use the car as a regular ‘ol video camera. All for about $60. Seems like the kids who grew up playing with Hot Wheels and computers are growing up and putting that creativity back into the toys. Wonder what else is revvin’ in their skunkworks. (via LS)
Yes, it has rotating wheels on the bottom of the feet.
Yes, it has a spring-loaded Rocket Punch firing fist.
Yes, you are crazy for wondering if you need it. Of course you need a two-foot tall Star Wars Super Shogun Stormtrooper.
In the world of jumbo-sized Japanese toys known as Jumbo Machinders, or even Shogun Warriors, no new characters have been produced in this size for over 25 years. Until now.
Wheels Willy (1977) wants to show you his one-eyed willy. With a patch over one eye and a name like Willy why the hell would they mold his hand like that? He doesn’t come with any accessories. But maybe he hasn’t found the right one yet (*rim shot).
Luke Duke (1981) is just missing his rubber waist-band. I’m sure Willy can keep his eye out for one.
What I like about this, aside from being shaped like the freakin’ Falcon, is how the propeller’s protected from the inevitable bonk into walls. Instantly worth the $50 bone asking price. See video of it here.
Check out the list over at Gunaxin. I totally had the Rancor and the Wampa! And I totally want(ed) everything else. Except the Rebel Transport, which pretty much sucked.
