Tokyo Bounce

We’ve already shown you some of our favorite products from the Tokyo Toy Fair. Now let’s look at some toys that got our attention for the wrong reasons…

Anpanman foam shooter

The Anpanman foam gun comes with a rock-solid guarantee to mess up your bathroom. Tears are another given, especially when big brother shoots little brother in the eyes with a blast of foam.

Virtual fishing pole

You know what sucks about fishing? The fish. So why not just have the drama of tugging on a fishing line with this new gadget from Takara Tomy? Less sunburn and and crushed worm bits under your fingernails too.

OK, I admit – though I mock it, I secretly love this toy.

Cactus violin

Whatever the giant cactus lady is selling, I’m buying.

Fake booze

I think the makers of these magic glasses are selling them as toys for adults (you know, very convincing substitutes for when peer pressure compels you to drink but you don’t want any alcohol). But let’s face it – this is really baby’s first beer stein/martini glass.
