Tomy has just released a new (and very cute) toy, the Kinopuyo: it’s a dancing, singing mushroom/bird. Now that might sounds a tad strange at first, but it’s actually quite adorable. Using sensors to detect vibrations, it’ll start singing and swaying from left to right, while glowing softly (in different patterns), whenever it spots you in the room.

It measures 11.5 x 12 centimeters and is available in three colors: red, yellow, pink.

Price: 2,499 yen. Available November 18, 2010.
