Half Bakery is sort of an unfiltered idea mill. Maybe VCs should raid this site every so often!

Their shop is here. Some of their rarer items they will only sell in the UK!

• The Snail Ball is a ball which very slowly rolls down an incline
• talking tape- it’s a tape with ridges on it, you hold it in your teeth and pull it out of your mouth, and it “talks”
• magic mirrors – they will reflect an image (in light) onto a flat surface, but are totally smooth
• squirting water buffalo – a clay ox which spits water without a motor
• singing water bowls – rub their handles and the bowl will “sing” and make a fountain
• gelly (jelly) glasses – edible shot glasses

This site is so awesome…

Ultraman is basically where Power Rangers comes from. A Japanese TV show in the 1960’s, it had dozens of spin-offs and hundreds of episodes.

I had always wondered where some of these aliens came from, for example “Baltan-seijin” or “kanegon,” the guy who looks like he has a clam for a head, or “eleking” who looks like a wrestler with a giant slug head. You can buy a lot of these guys as vinyl figures now.
