Very Cool See Through Figure Sculptures by Korean Artist Jin Young Yu

These art pieces by Korean artist Jin Young Yu seem part designer toy, part figure sculpture (what’s the difference?). But they’re all-amazing, giving a new perspective on potential designer toy releases. Reminds me of the Korean film Hansel and Gretel.

Japanese Pop Act Helicopter Boyz Dance and Demonstrate Nikon’s New Projector Cameras

What do you do with Nikon’s new digital camera with a built in projector? How about the following:

The projector in the new COOLPIX s1000pj allows users to project their images onto the nearest wall. Naoki Ito (whose work also includes Sony Walkman REC YOU and Uniqlo March) strapped several of the cameras to the bodies of the Helicopter Boyz, a Japanese pop act, during a live performance at Tokyo’s Yomiuri Land theme park.

Robot Bride in Japan

If you want to take the concept of dolls to the *next* level, you could marry yourself to a robot bride. Seriously, this robot bride is a female humanoid robot created by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). It made “her” first professional runway appearance at a fashion show in Osaka dressed as a bride.

Robot-Bride

The bride stands 158 centimetres tall and weighs 43 kg (with her batteries installed). She strolled smoothly up and down the 10-meter runway, struck various poses, and gazed sidelong at the delighted audience.

Apparently, the robot’s “realistic looks” had the potential to draw crowds at amusement parks and promotional events. However, I do think she looks a little bit creepy. Or maybe the bride outfit was just the wrong choice for the day.

Ping Pong Fighter

I can’t help think that Ping Pong Fighter has been inspired by the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Ping Pong clip, but full marks for effort in adding the Street Fighter element.
