Turning yourself into an action figure is now possible, with the Bandai Pellermodel. Turn photos of yourself into the figure below!

So now turning photos of yourself into an action figure, you sorta become a Figma yourself. Neat and weird though. I don’t see why anyone would want to be an action figure XD This action figure would be good if you intend to give this to your other half :3.

If you ever played Taiko no Tatsujin the game before, you will want to eat this bento yourself ^^

Starting October 10, this Taiko no Tatsujin bento will go on sale at Narita Airport, outside Tokyo. It will be flown in from Ishikawa Prefecture just so airport travelers can enjoy woofing it down. The bento is extremely kawaii that I can’t bear to eat this o.O.
The bento will be sold on the second floor of the Terminal No. 2. Priced at 900 yen, it will be available till November 8.

Pan-kun gets to be impressed with magic tricks today. I can tell that the magician is trying his best, but Pan-kun attempting to look and touch the items involved in the trick ends up exposing the “trick”. Haha. This is hilarious XD.

If you have no idea who Pan-kun is,
He is a young chimpanzee in Japan often featured on the NTV television show “Tensai! Shimura Dōbutsuen” (“天才！志村動物園”, lit. “Genius! Shimura Zoo”) and the TBS program “Dōbutsu Kisō Tengai!” (“どうぶつ奇想天外!”, lit. “Unbelievable Animals!”). Most of the segments feature him and his bulldog …

This awesome Toyota Prius is wheelchair-friendly. All you need to do is press a button to keep the wheelchair away!

The top of the Toyota looks bulky and weird. On the other hand the device is pretty funky, though I would prefer putting the wheelchair in the boot myself. Lol

And the construction of giant robots is not going to stop at the 1/1 Scale Gundam. Gigantor is completed now!

What’s next? I like the fact that these robots are coming to life. I don’t think we will ever have large scale robots on display (In Singapore) XD.

Cellphones are essentially something you can’t live without. Just last week, Docomo announced that it is producing a mobile phone made with surplus wood of trees. How awesome and strange is that?! XD

The authentic cypress wood body of the prototype, which is named TOUCH WOOD, features excellent durability and resistance to water, insects and mildew thanks to special three-dimensional compression molding developed by Olympus Corporation. Conventional natural wood is not suitable for use as mobile phone bodies because they tend to wear out quickly.
Each TOUCH WOOD handset will have their …

Another World Record Video, previously I posted up the World’s Fastest Clapper on the Japanese TV Show. Today, we have Darren “Professor Splash” Taylor who is back again in Japan to break his old record – jumping from a height of 10.70 meters (35 feet) into 30 centimeters (12 inches) of water into a kiddy pool. This time, he will be attempting to break his old record with a 10.83 meter jump!

My only reaction after watching the video clip is. OMG. How was he able to survive?! The bruises on …

How fast can you clap? Can you do it like Kent French who managed to clap 721 times in a minute?

And here is Kent French, appearing in a Japanese TV Show.

I tried to copy the way he clapped, but my sweaty palms end up slipping over each other, with no sound XD.

In this arcade game, it’s all about the rage. Japanese arcade game Cho Chabudai Gaeshi is a score attack game that lets players pound a soft table for combos and then upend it for the finishing move.

Different settings available in the game: host club, wedding, office or a Japanese living room.
So for example, in the living room stage, players bang on the table as their family complains more and more and finally flips over the table. In Japanese, people often talk about flipping over a table in anger — “chabudai …
