Ever wonder why they didn't make toys like these when we were kids?
(Okay, that was a rhetorical question... I realize they didn't have the technology when we were kids.)
Anyway, the Batman thing is pretty cool. How awesome is that? A toy that responds appropriately to the animation on the screen (and not just some canned video that your kids have already seen over and over again).
It would be pretty fun to be able to jump into your favorite game show, too. (I'll take Things That Go Beep for $500, Alex!) Although I think I could do without the barfing and the snot blowing toys.
Then again, I used to have a doll who would sneeze and snot would run out of her nose (Bless You, Baby Tenderlove!). And if you fed Baby Alive different kinds of food, you'd end up with a pretty realistic diaper-doody.
I guess I had some pretty gross toys when I was a kid, too.
