HexBug Newtons – Collectable Robot Insects are Freaky

by Jay Garrett on February 18, 2010

If ant-farms are a bit old hat, and you’re the type of person that enjoys freaking out their younger sister then here’s some gadgety creepy-crawlies that should fit the bill.

HexBug’s range has featured robotic ants and cyber crabs but now here’s their latest future-insect.

The HexBug Nano Newtons are small enough for you to see in the corner of your eye and have you reaching for a rolled-up newspaper.

They sprint around on rubber feet and go careering around the place like amphetamine crazed cockroach.

Their realistic movements go as far as being able to flip themselves back over if they end up on their backs.

~shudder~

The Newtons come in collectible test tube packages with various different genetic “mutations” (or colours to you and I).

Go to HexBug’s website and dish out $9.99

Check out the vid below and see one of the freaky habitats and the mentalist mini menaces!

Hug Me Pillow – When You Miss Your Other Half

by Jay Garrett on February 6, 2009

armpillowHmmmmmmmm……………….

No real surprise that the price has been cut for this as, to me, it looks freaky as hell.

To be honest I’d find it difficult enough sharing a room with this; let alone a bed.

But for those of you that have been waiting for such a deal the creepy one-armed “Hug Me Pillow” has dropped from $44.95 down to a more manageable $29.99 you, errrrrrr, lucky folk!

~shudder~

Let’s face it – if I had half a stuffed female torso in my bed people would start to worry…

…not that I have….

……honest….

The specs as per Crunch Gear:

  • It’s a pillow made to look like one half of a man’s torso – creepy!
  • The shirt material looks like a prison uniform – creepy!
  • The hand looks double-jointed and weird – creepy!
  • The lady in the below photo looks like she’s trying to escape – creepy!
  • Shirt is microfiber, pillow is woven from 100% polyester – nice!
  • Pillow is dry clean only – awkward!

Plantbot Scares Cats and Small Children….

October 20, 2008 Click to read more →

This is a great idea but not for those who are a bit jumpy.
The Plantbot comes with some sort of solar seeking tech on board which literally moves it around to follow sunlight in the room.
Yup – it moves around on its four wooden, jointed legs to chase the rays of the sun.
I can only imagine that [...]
