More WowWee fun this afternoon (the fun never stops at that company, I swear), with Alex playing around with their…
CES 2008: WowWee Alive wild cub toys steal our affections
Nothing makes a man look more manly than cuddling up with a furry robocub, right? Oh. Still, WowWee’s new Alive range is still pretty fun. There’s a lion, a white tiger, a panda and a polar bear in the range, and they were all on show at the CES Unveiled press event tonight.
Dragon's Den find iTeddy set to go global
Bolton – the hometown of Vernon Kay, Peter Kay, Sara Cox, Amir Khan, that bloke from McFly, yours truly and Imran Hakim. Never heard of the last one? Well, he’s the inventor of the iTeddy – first seen on Dragon’s Den and now set for world domination it seems.
Treat yourself to an 18" voice-controlled Dalek for all your crazy Doctor Who gatherings
I really wanted to put a life-size image of the 18″ Dalek to accompany this post, and could, due to the SUPER HI-RES image the company provided me with, but unfortunately Tardis says no. Oh, wrong cult TV show quotage? Whoops…

Daft Punk proves they're Harder, Better, Faster and Stronger with some limited edition Bearbricks
Kubricks and vinyl toys’ popularity continue to soar (and not just amongst geeks), with these Daft Punk Bearbricks perfect proof of just how mainstream the once-cult toy collecting fad has become. It doesn’t mean I want them any less, of course!
Fans should be aware of why the French electronica duo wear helmets – as shown on the Bearbricks pictured – but if not, Thomas Bangalter from the dance act explains it quite well here. “We did not choose…
Firebox doesn't want you to Wake The Dog
Joining the menagerie of Firebox toys is ‘Don’t Wake The Dog’, a plastic contraption which gives up to four players a whole load of fun.

Good ol' Dukes Of Hazzard remote-controlled car
Yee-har! The original Dukes of Hazzard TV show was a key part of millions of people’s childhoods, even if the 2005 movie remake, er, wasn’t. But if you’re looking to forget the latter, why not splash out £29.95 on a remote-controlled model of the instantly-recognisable 1969 Dodge Charger from the TV show.
Students hack Sony AIBO, use Wii-motes to control the obsolete toy
Wii hacks? What is this, January 2007?! And the Sony AIBO is involved too? It’s enough to make one’s head hurt, like it’s 8.27am Sunday all over again.
The Wiibot, as some University of Calgary students have dubbed it, is a research project based on human device…
