Takara Tomy Norinori Pikachu Talking Robot
Will the world ever run out of love for Pikachu products? We certainly hope not. In addition to video games, plush toys, and collectible cards, there’s surprisingly no shortage of animated electronic Pikachu toys. What sets Takara Tomy’s Norinori Pikachu Talking Robot apart is a squishy soft body that responds to having its belly poked with a quick “Pika!” The bot also responds to a handful of Japanese words with 60 different Japanese phrases of its own (apparently it’s not limited to just saying “Pika” with different inflections), and Pikachu will even sing a song and dance along to three different tunes. It’s available from the Japan Trend Shop, which will happily ship one overseas for a small fortune: $131.
