Unchi Light

I've mentioned the strange belief that Unchi (poop) is believed to be lucky in Japan. Here is a new little cell phone strap from toy maker Epoch. It's a 2" light-up Unchi, that comes in yellow or pink. Whenever I see pink "unchi" it makes me think of a pink soft-serve ice-cream, so it's not that icky to me. I only found one picture of it, and I don't know what the other versions look like, but I will update when I find out more. Perhaps Strapya will pick this up and sell it?

Your own personal dolphin.

Many people find themselves obsessed with dolphins, they watch them in zoos and aquariums, collect them as knick-knacks, or pay large amounts of money to swim with them. If you fancy dolphins as much as some of the other people out there, this nifty light/toy/sound maker is a fun investment for you. Toy makers Takaratomy from Japan have come out with Ocean Fantasy. A light that creates water and dolphin noises to calm you, while using it's neat robotic insides to move the dolphin in a realistic swimming motion that you can view here. If you fancy purchasing one of these for yourself wander on over to one of my other favorite online hang-outs AudioCubes.com and nab one for 79.00. Swim Mr. Dolphin Swim!
