Bite-Sized Tomy QFO RC Flyers Command The Skies Of A Very Small Universe
12:00PM Adrian Covert | I like things that fly, especially when they’re the size of a golf ball. Tomy’s OFO RC toys are part of the Japanese Q series of all things minuscule, and are propelled by a rotor on its underside. The QFO will be available in Japan this month for about US$40, but more importantly, I keep thinking of how awesome it would be if 20 of these took to the sky at once in a public space. Check out the video below. [Akihabara via Oh Gizmo via Dvice] More »

Takara Tomy Air Filter for Babies Cleans Air, But Chokes You With Its Cuteness
5:30PM Matt Buchanan | Famed maker of awesome Takara Tomy’s latest bundle of cool is a super cute air filter for babies. It’s outfitted with an antibacterial filter and Sharp’s “decontamination ion” purification tech (my AC in Japan actually had this too) so your offspring don’t inhale all the nasty, germ-y stuff floating around your house. It’s about $150 (17,640 yen), so it’s kind of pricey, but it’s smaller (115×80x140mm) and definitely packs in more cute per square inch than most air filters. [Fuji Sankei via Tokyo Mango] More »
