<p>				Yes, Apple TV officially debuted in 2007. And yes, Pippin was the failed Apple/Bandai gaming console from the early &#8217;90s. But did you know there was a set-top box Apple was working on in the late &#8217;90s named Pipp<em>en</em>?				More&nbsp;&raquo;<br />

	After a brief hiatus, that giant Gundam statue we spotted a couple years ago has once again returned home to Tokyo &#8212; though he clearly didn&#8217;t make the voyage in one piece. Rather than reconstruct the 60-foot robot in its entirety, Bandai, the company behind the Gundam franchise, has decided to scatter its limbs, weapons and machinery all over an artificial island. For about .50, anime fans and Derrida enthusiasts can view the deconstructed mecha in all its glory, sit in the palm of his hand, or even use a fixed bicycle to make his head glow. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Storm past the break for an extra pic of the exhibit.</div>

Major toymaker Bandai yesterday announced the <a href="http://www.tentaizukan.com/">Hyper Telescope</a> [JP], which is being marketed as a "science toy" for kids.

<p>Major toymaker Bandai yesterday announced the <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tentaizukan.com%2F&sref=rss">Hyper Telescope</a> [JP], which is being marketed as a &#8220;science toy&#8221; for kids. It&#8217;s the ideal gadget if you want your kid to become an astronomer, as it allows users to observe the sky and view relevant information on connected displays or within the device itself. All that needs to be done is to specify one&#8217;s location on earth and the current time.</p>
<p>Users can then move the telescope around, pointing it to a spot on the star map they want to know more about. The LCD within the device, which features three joints and an accelerometer, will then display the corresponding information on a &#8220;virtual&#8221; star map (see below for an example). Others can view what is being displayed if the telescope is connected to a TV, for example.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-152488" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchgear.com%2F2010%2F04%2F15%2Fhyper-telescope-bandais-new-science-toy-for-kids%2Fhyper_telescope_2%2F&sref=rss"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-152488" title="hyper_telescope_2" src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hyper_telescope_2-620x307.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Bandai has built 20 background melodies and data (stats, pictures, etc.) on about 300 stars and similar objects into the Hyper Telescope. Over a thousand of those objects can be identified.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-152489" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchgear.com%2F2010%2F04%2F15%2Fhyper-telescope-bandais-new-science-toy-for-kids%2Fhyper_telescope_3%2F&sref=rss"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-152489" title="hyper_telescope_3" src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hyper_telescope_3-620x465.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>Bandai&#8217;s Hyper Telescope weighs 600g, is battery-powered and will carry a price tag of $200 when it will arrive in Japanese stores on May 29. It&#8217;s hasn&#8217;t been announced for other markets but could find its way outside Japan soon, too.</p>

<p>Gazing at the stars at night is pretty much impossible if you live in a crowded metropolitan area. So as an alternative to building and using a gigantic electromagnetic pinch to knock out the lighting in a big city, Bandai has created the <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fp-bandai.jp%2Fb-boys-shop%2Fitem-1000004956%2F&sref=rss">Hyper Telescope</a>, which provides a safer, virtual view of the night sky.</p>
<p>Once you specify your location on Earth, a built-in 3-axis accelerometer and magnetic orientation sensor shows you exactly what celestial objects and constellations you&#8217;d be seeing were you staring through a real telescope. And so the rest of your family doesn&#8217;t get jealous, it even has a TV-out connection for sharing. There&#8217;s also some educational crap and games mixed in too, so your $173 <em>(￥16,182)</em> investment at least guarantees a solid C+ on your kid&#8217;s next science report.</p>

Shizuoka is the city where most of the Gundam plastic models come from.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-147286" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchgear.com%2F2010%2F03%2F22%2Fjapans-giant-gundam-statue-returns-this-time-armed-with-a-saber%2Fgundam_02%2F&sref=rss"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-147286" title="gundam_02" src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gundam_02-620x437.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="437" /></a></p>
<p>But his time, Gundam will be armed with a gigantic &#8220;beam saber&#8221; (in 1:1 scale, as the 18m statue itself). Just like in the eponymous anime series, he will hold the saber, which will glow during the night, in his right hand. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see him wielding the saber in one way or the other when the statue is ready, too.</p>
<p>Shizuoka is expecting Gundam to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city from July 24 until January 11, 2011, when the statue will be deconstructed again. Bandai claims the statue that was standing in Tokyo was visited by some four million people.</p>

<a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/02/25/rilakkuma-edition-casio-unveils-ultra-cute-exilim/">First a Casio Exilim</a>, now an ultra-mobile PC (or UMPC, as the Japanese say): Cult teddy bear <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rilakkuma">Rilakkuma</a> is on his way to dethrone <a href="http://search.techcrunch.com/query.php?s=hello+kitty">Hello Kitty</a> as the character of choice for Japanese electronics companies when it comes to giving gadgets that extra-cute touch.

<p>The Rilakkuma device features a 8.9-inch touchscreen with 1,280&#215;768 resolution, an Atom Z520 processor (1.33GHz), 1GB RAM, a 60GB HDD, a digital TV tuner, a DVD drive, Ethernet, two USB ports, IEEE 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a web camera, an SD card slot, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and Windows 7 Home Premium.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-146097" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchgear.com%2F2010%2F03%2F16%2Frilakkuma-ultra-mobile-ultra-cute-tablet-pc%2Frilakkuma_2%2F&sref=rss"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-146097" title="rilakkuma_2" src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/rilakkuma_2-620x465.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>But what&#8217;s more important for the target group is that the device comes with a number of pre-installed Rilakkuma wallpapers, cute icons and screensavers. And if the users turn on the web camera, they can choose to see their faces in one of five different virtual Rilakkuma picture frames.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-146098" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchgear.com%2F2010%2F03%2F16%2Frilakkuma-ultra-mobile-ultra-cute-tablet-pc%2Frilakkuma_3%2F&sref=rss"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-146098" title="rilakkuma_3" src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/rilakkuma_3-620x465.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>Offered by Bandai Namco (the owners of the Rilakkuma brand), the tablet PC will go on sale in Japan at the end of June for $990. As I don&#8217;t see the device ever being sold outside this country, I&#8217;d suggest people who are interested should ask import/export specialists such as the <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.japantrendshop.com&sref=rss">Japan Trend Shop</a> or <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geekstuff4u.com%2F&sref=rss">Geek Stuff 4 U</a> for help.</p>

Do you like novelty keychains? Do you like classic gaming titles such as Street Fighter II? Do you like novelty keychains that produce the sound effects from such classic titles as Street Fighter II? You must! You&#8217;re reading CrunchGear!</p>
<p>This Bandai keychain must be for you. It has the style and grace of a retro gaming controller, but the the buttons activate sound effects from the game. Best yet, you actually have to preform the moves to get the sounds to work.</p>
<p>For instance, press down, down, right, right + P (punch) it gives the sound effect of Ryu&#8217;s &#8216;Fist Wave&#8217;. Awesome, right? There are three different versions, each featuring three different SFII characters. $10 in Japan.
