Bandai, known for, well, being crazy mainly, have released another addition to their Hex Bug range - the Robotic Crab. You may ask the question (just as GadgetHeat did) as to why you would want a robotic crab as a pet and the answer is - why not?
.
With the success of the other creepy crawlies in the Hex Bug series and also remote control gadgets such as the Picoo Z Insecta, it looks like the market for toys to scare your little sister with is booming.
.
The robotic crab Hex Bug can hide in dark areas just like a real crab (fun) thanks to embedded light sensors and can even move sideways, er, just like a real crab. OK we’re struggling with this one because we just can’t see how many hours of fun you can get from a toy crab. Sorry Bandai, we tried. We failed. Next.
.
If you really have some sort of crustacean fetish you can pick up the Bandai Robotic Crab Hex Bug from out Japanese friends come August 9th for about $25. You can also watch the promo video found here.
