Is this what you get when a human Pokemon character mates with a Care Bear?

Or the Pillsbury Dough-Boy with a Keebler Elf.

Uh huh...

Aaaargh!

I posted this on another message board and someone's daughter found the little puppet irresistably cute. I really hope this doesn't invade our country. I really, really don't.

Wasn't Pokemon and Hello Kitty bad enough? *hides under bed*

If you think people collecting that stuff is crazy, wait until you see some of the HTF members' DVD collections.

with so many brilliant minds in japan, i wish the ones who work on these silly projects would do more meaningful things with their brainpower. (like maybe a robot doll that takes a dump too?)

Looks like Astro-Boy mated with a Monchichi if you ask me.

I think Bandai should make something better to sell in america. Think "Aibo" with a flamethrower.

Though it looks like the perfect companion to take to the firing range, and leave there....

Depending on how well they're programmed, it'd be an interesting experiment to see how good a parent you'd be (or to get a second chance if you've already screwed it up).

At least we don't take our DVDs on vacation & post pictures of them on the web.

Oh, wait a minute...
