Crayola Total Tools Audio Ruler, the Talkative Measuring Assistant

Here’s an odd toy from Crayola that could function as a tool, too. The Crayola Total Tools Audio Ruler lays down a line of disappearing ink, and then blurts out exactly how long that line is as soon as you’re done drawing it. It’s accurate to within a quarter of an inch, but has a…

Happy 75th Birthday, Lego!

Today, Lego turns a ripe old age of 75. Founded in 1932 by carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen from Billund, Denmark, the company made wooden toys. The trademark name didn’t come until 1934, inspired from the Danish words “leg godt” (play well), and it wasn’t until 1949 that Lego began producing their now-famous interlocking bricks. The…

What the Hell Is a Moshi Monster?

Actual Pics of the Halo 3 Covenant Guns

Bungie’s just put out an update and given us real pictures of the Halo 3 Toys Covenant guns. The plasma rifle looks somewhat similar to the “real” thing (the gun in the game), but the plasma pistol looks really bleh. Real Covenant aliens wouldn’t be caught dead with a turquoise gun.

Hands-On Japan’s Sega Robot Chicken

Lisa brought me back one of Sega’s highly coveted robot chicks, modeled physically and behaviorally after a 1-week old chicken. The bird has a light and touch sensor, and responds to petting. When I say respond, it’s just different crying sounds, with the occasional wing flap. What’s insane is that this thing is like $40.…
