Attention Microchipkinder: Tenori On
From the mind and soul that bought you Electroplankton, Toshio Iwai’s latest sound-art toy the digi-mystical Tenori-On is now available for sale in the UK.

Give your future-form its freedom.

Save the Robots
For those of you harbouring less dancing-monkey happy-droid prejudice than me: check the robosapien foundation - their moto: "making a difference, one robosapien at a time".
Chromoshift Roboreptile
Yes you heard right: chromo-shift-robo-reptile. 2 future to be true? Unfortunately yes.
Basically, a snappier, noisier, adrenalised upgrade of the rather clunky roboraptor. Spoiler Alert: the chromoshift is actually just some sort of reflective paint job: think italo-disco, not predator 4. Still, the move away from friendly domestic robots [like the "yes-sir i can boogie" nonsense of dancing monkey boy robosapiens] to more menacing and aggressive droids can only be welcomed. Useful for frightening household pets...
