Mxykikker WindUp




















Mxykikker. While we’re not quite sure how to say his name, one thing we are certain of is this strange creature is wholly unlike any wind-up or insect you’ve ever encountered in your life. With more legs than a nest full of the biggest, ugliest spiders in the world and just a few (hundred) shy of a millipede, Mxykikker will be crawling his way over any obstacle and into your heart (in a good way, not like a parasite or anything).
No keys, no pull strings, no revving it up by pulling it backwards on the hardwood floor. Mxykikker is one of the easiest to operate wind-ups ever. Just turn one of his legs and he’s off! Mxykikker will spin his eighteen legs and, like some kind of alien ATV, climb his way over many different obstacles. He can even walk upside down! Stack up some books and watch him make his way to the top or turn him loose under the covers to give your spouse a good scare in the morning.
This unique wind-up known as Mxykikker is part of a large family of other strange and fun little creepy crawly critters from designer Chico Bicalho and every one of them is guaranteed to change any negative feelings you may have about anything that isn’t propelled by bipedal movement.

Sun Jar Pink - Blue - Yellow


 








  


Made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting! Captured inside the jar are a highly efficient solar cell, rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps. When the jar is placed in sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar.
The light is diffused by the frosted jar and gives off a hot pink glow with a similar brightness to a candle emitting from the frosted jar (warm colored LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light).
A Light sensor inside automatically activates the lights when it gets dark or lights are turned out! 







Temperature Controlled Shower Head






The Temperature Controlled Shower Head takes the old standard labeling system for faucets and uses it to create a new shower experience that is safer and more enjoyable than with your old shower head. With the help of a color changing LED that turns from blue to red depending on water temperature, the Temperature Controlled Shower Head guarantees you will never be surprised when getting in the shower ever again.
The Temperature Controlled Shower Head comes equipped with an LED that is activated when the water is turned on. With all temperatures below 89 degrees the light shines blue to let you know the water is cold. But once above 89, the LED changes to red to let you know when it’s safe to get under the water.
How many times have you hopped in the shower only to leap right back out when stung by the ice-cold water flow? With the Temperature Controlled Shower Head you will never have to suffer that shock again. For all the guys out there, as long as you have the Temperature Controlled Shower Head, you will never have to endure another cold shower unless your girlfriend sends you there!
Turn off the lights in the bathroom and let the Temperature Controlled Shower create some great mood lighting as it floods the room in a bright red illumination.

Glow Brick Green





















The Glow Brick is one bright idea!
The Glow Brick Green is a little oxymoronic in its appearance. Obviously, someone was thinking outside the box when they came up with this ingenious night light despite what the design tells you (you know, the light bulb symbolizing the idea and the solid acrylic brick being the box?). Not only is the Glow Brick Green stylish but its name, goes farther than delimiting its color but also evokes its environmentally conscious construction as a green, eco-friendly way to add some atmosphere to a room.
If you think the bulb inside the Glow Brick looks like the familiar incandescent bulbs from the fixtures in your home, you’re absolutely right! It’s a standard light bulb that has been filled with a glow-in-the-dark pigment. Encased in the acrylic brick, the light diffracts to create a beautifully and enticing shroud of radiance.
Sitting on your desk throughout the day, the Glow Brick may just look like an odd curio but it’s actually charging itself — absorbing UV light which it releases to give off its peculiar glow. The result is an intriguing light source completely independent of everything except the sun to make it work. No switches, no cords or plugs, just give it sun by day and the Glow Brick Green will give back to you a unique brilliance of its own.

USB Squeeze the Fish




















USB Squish the Fish is an unusual USB aquarium. When the globe sits on its stand, the fish casually bob and swim around.

When you're done, simply place the globe back on its stand and watch as the fish once again bob and swim around within their aquarium. Another must-have USB toy brought to you by InnovaToys.

Hexbug Crab






















It’s fun to be crabby!
The Hexbug Crab ain’t your typical crustacean. Indeed, we doubt you’d find this scurrying, mechanized shellfish edible like its aquatic counterpart, but what it lacks in taste, the Hexbug Crab makes up for with its unique personality, including the lifelike way it can negotiate the path in front of it and how it reacts to certain stimuli.

But braving a treacherous sea only to have your fingers clamped on by incredibly painful pincers isn’t a line of work we’d prefer and, if you feel the same, why not check out the Hexbug Crab, instead? It’s easier to catch, more fun to watch and safer to pick up.
The Hexbug Crab, like his Original counterpart, is sensitive to both touch and sound and can find his way around, despite what lies in his path.

Plasma Ball with Blue Base









































The awesome power of lightning at your fingertips!
The Plasma Ball with Blue Base has been around for decades but its popularity has yet to wane. This fun interactive toy reacts to both touch and sound! When powered on, the Plasma Ball with Blue Base puts on an amazing show as the bolts of lightning dance around the inside of the sphere. But touch your hand to the outside and watch as the rays of electricity rush to follow your fingers around! And the fact that the Plasma Ball with Blue Base also reacts to sound means your favorite songs will take on a whole new life as the lightning inside jives with the beat.
Let’s face it—the best way to conduct electricity is not tying a key to a kite and turning yourself into a human lightning rod. And that fantasy you have of firing bolts of lightning from your fingertips to destroy your enemies…probably not going to happen. But the Plasma Ball with Blue Base will let you get as close as you can without frying yourself or making yourself look like a complete fool.
Apart from the beauty of the electricity emitting from the core, the Plasma Ball’s interactive display also offers a demonstration of the wonder and mystery of electromagnetism. This makes the Plasma Ball with Blue Base a helpful little teaching tool or even a great accessory for a science fair project on the subject. But no matter if you use it for educational or entertainment purposes, it’s clear that the Plasma Ball will continue to be a must have for many decades to come.






AntWorks TvQuarium





















One channel, always something to watch!
The AntWorks TvQuarium is a cutting edge ant colony that will have you turning in your plasma screen and LCD televisions. Instead of watching mindless “reality” shows and wasting all your monthly texts to vote for the hapless underdog, you can spend your evenings watching a real reality show, one produced by Nature. You could even call it the “BachellorAnt” if you want to, although it’s more suited for the nature channels—only there’s no monotone narrator lulling you to sleep. Quite the opposite, inquisitive minds both young and old will hardly be able to pull their eyes away from the amazing show coming through the screen on the TvQuarium.
Offset by a black rectangular border, and illuminated by blue LEDs, the AntWorks TvQuarium’s “screen” shines like most brilliant television on the market and is the window to a whole new world of your viewing pleasure. For once you tune in, you won’t care that you only get one station on the TvQuarium because you’ll never want to watch anything else! You’ll delight as the ants dig their way through the blue gel, creating an intricate network of tunnels on which they build their awe-inspiring society.
The NASA-designed gel inside the AntWorks TvQuarium, in which the ants live and breathe (do ants breathe?), also happens to be their food source, providing the little creatures with all the food water and nutrients every ant needs to grow big and strong.
So don’t waste anymore time (and brain power) watching “unscripted” television just because you delight in other people’s shame and misery. The AntWorks TvQuarium makes for a great educational gift for children, who will feel like they’re watching television, and will provide just as much entertainment for adults, who will feel good their kids aren’t rotting their minds out watching cartoons.
