• Oakley and Macallan Team Up to Make the World’s Most Ridiculous Hip Flask

  In Toys

  

  As a huge fan of over-design and rabid hater of the unnecessarily expensive, the immodestly named “The Flask” from Oakley and The Macallen has me feeling more than a little conflicted. I love pretty much everything about it: its laser welded steel center, the carbon fiber composite wrapping and the “aerospace grade” aluminum exterior. I especially love its screw-in funnel, which attaches to the mouthpiece to make sure no precious drops of whisky find themselves [...]

   

• Zombie Burbz High review

  In Reviews, Toys

  

  There exists a proverb that, when loosely translated from its original Italian, says: “Do not judge a book by its cover.” Occasionally however, it becomes obvious that this proverb does not apply to marketing. Let me revise that, it’s not so occasional, it’s actually rather often that we are made to judge a product by its cover. Case and point, Zombie Burbz. Zombie Burbz is a cross platform app that unlike 99.9% of other apps, [...]

   

• Cool Toys 2012

  In Featured, Toys

  

  Cool Toys 2012 It is that time of year again, the time that we take the plastic out of the wallet and submit to the orgy of consumerism that is the holiday season. Sure, you could cop out and stick a couple of notes in a card, or you could take a few minutes to read through UberReview’s Cool Toys of 2012 and pick out something a little bit special. Crayola Light Designer Whether your [...]

   

• 170$ Flashlight is not powered by batteries, uses ultracapacitors

  In Gadgets, Geeky, Technology, Toys

  

  The new 5.11 Light for Life flashlight made by Tactical is deemed revolutionary for three reasons. Firstly the company claims it’s the last flashlight you will ever buy, secondly because it’s not powered by batteries but instead uses ultracapacitors that are phenomenally quick to charge, and slow to discharge. The flashlight charges in 90 seconds and lasts almost two hours! Tactical claim that the unit can recharge 50.000 times before any degradation is noticed so [...]

   

• Unbreakable Toy Helicopter Should Survive Your Lack of Flying Skills

  In Toys

  

  Japan’s Kyosho has released a fairly inexpensive toy helicopter that is able to survive crashes. Radio controlled toy helicopters are a lot cheaper than when I was a child, but they are still not exactly cheap… so learning to fly can sting the wallet a little bit. Kyosho’s Space Ball is enclosed in a plastic cage in order to help it absorb the inevitable bumps and bruises. It also happens to be self righting, so [...]

   

• RPG-7 PET Bottle Rocket Launcher Looks Like Somewhat Expensive Fun

  In Toys

  

  Japanese toy company Marudai has created a dangerous looking bottle launcher that it calls the RPG-7 PET Bottle Launcher. While it looks like something an insurgent might carry, it is relatively harmless (unless it hits you in the face), it fires 1.5L soda bottles partially filled with water up to 115 feet (35 meters) when it is held at the optimal angle (35 degrees). Marudai says to expect recoil – lots of it. Needless to [...]

   

• Blast Bugs To Death With A Tiny Salt Shotgun

  In Featured, Gadgets, Toys

  

  If you are looking for an entertaining way to rid your home of bugs then you might want to check out the Bug-A-Salt. It uses ordinary table salt and kinetic energy to blast little insects to death. The Bug-A-Salt, which operates much like a Nerf gun, is mostly harmless to humans (as long as you don’t shoot them in the eyes). The project is still in the funding stage on Indiegogo but given that it [...]

   

• 99$ Android based gaming console coming our way: OUYA!

  In Concept, Design, Gaming, Geeky, Technology, Toys

  

  I wish we had an “I can’t wait to get my sweaty hands on it” category to classify this one into. OUYA kickstarter company sees Nintendo’s upcoming WiiU, the Sony PS4 and the Microsoft XBOX 720, and raise them with a 99$ Android console. The real kicker though, isn’t so much that the startup has gathered over 3 million dollars in pledges in just over three days, or that they offer a 10.000$ pledge with [...]

   

• $47,000 Waterslide Makes Amazon Comment Trolls Smile

  In Outdoors, Toys

  

  This $40,700 (before shipping) commercial waterslide is available on Amazon. Yes, it is aimed at swimming clubs and the like, but by the looks of things there is nothing stopping a person of sufficient means from sticking one of these in his or her backyard. On top of the price tag, you will have to shell out for freight and, unless you can install it yourself, you will need to pay an additional $9,700 for [...]

  In Toys

  

  Meet the Executive Elite Marshmallow Blaster. This stylish single-shot pump action marshmallow blaster can fire marshmallows up to 40 feet and comes in its very own briefcase. Want one? Too bad!

• Tiny Cannon Looks Like Fun [Pocket Artillery]

  In Gadgets, Toys

  

  The tiny cannon that you see above is fully functional. Pocket Artillery’s precisely machined mini cannon uses black powder to fire .177″ BBs up to 100 yards and are powerful enough to break glasses and shoot through coke cans… that kind of thing. They are reasonably cheap, just be aware that the $29 asking price will only get you the cannon. You will have to acquire your own black powder and fuses. Needless to say [...]

   

• Retro Bobby- Will Work for Toys

  In Gaming, Geeky, Toys, Videos

  

  In the land of Copenhagen, lives a man-child named Bobby Agren, better known as Retro Bobby. Bobby loves toys, video games, creepy facial hair, ironic thrift store sweaters, and making your hair look fabulous. I know, none of this makes much sense, but doesn’t that make this video seem all the more interesting? Bobby and his friend Ruben own and operate a salon/trading post of sorts, where you can trade Gameboys for pompadours, and Atari [...]
