If you're searching for something unique for your loved o­ne this Valentine's Day, look no further than Takara's "Na Me~Ru" candy. Designed to look like a mailman, for some reason.

Here's some interesting new robots from Takara Toys, called "Walkiebits." They're shaped like little turtles, and while they don't offer a whole lot of robotic functionality, they will remember rythms tapped out o­n their shells and walk to that rhythm. They can also run, play melodies, and so forth.

Competition in the mobile phone accessory market is fierce and Takara continues to lead from the front with the release of the "ChoroQ IR remote-control strap", a strap with an attached ChoroQ car that can be controlled using a mobile phone's IR communication function.
