Some retail stores that sell Lego now contain this neat gizmo, a digital box which displays what can be achieved through the use of Lego Technic.  The advantage to the customer is that they are able to see what appears to be real world footage , however in reality its probably a way of turning more prospective buyers into paying customers.

To use the Lego Digital Box Kiosk a Lego product is selected from the shelf then held up to the camera which instantly reveals its contents fully assembled with 3D animated scenes. Neat eh?

The Epidermits toy is invented by Karten design firm. This toy has very abstract design. It is different from regular toys used by children like fuel cell engineering, animatronics etc. You must have definitely not spotted any scary toy like epidermits. This concept is very shocking.

KD designers have visioned that when human value has vanished how gadgets can get off tracked. So they came up with a practical idea. It creates confusion among kids as it shapes boundary between taste and innovation. The computerized thing is covered by human like tissue. Tattooing and piercing, is done on the body of epidermits. The skinny color plays an important role in giving it a scary look. It can be the best companion for your kid. There is least of maintenance required as you have to keep it only in refrigerator.
