Latest in the Hex Bug line from Bandai, the toys are designed to look, move and behave a little like the real deal. When you turn them on, they scamper sideways, changing direction if you make a noise and then coming to a stop when they find a shadowy spot to hide in. Quite neat really, and the 2.5-inch toy 'bots will cost just $25 when they're out in August. Check out the video to see them in action.

Up came the modder holding USB,
Until the itsy USB Spider killed him in his sleep. [MAKE]

UPDATE: Yes, it appears to be a crabbbbbbb. How humiliating.
