Amazing Japanese Light Ball Universe in Your Bathtub [pics]

Environmental Graffiti Will be Changing Dramatically Soon. Get a Sneak Preview By Signing Up Here.
Technology infiltrates every part of your house, even your bathroom. Oh yes. The days of the rubber duckie are numbered. We geeks here at Environmental Graffiti love it: this device from Sega Toys brings the universe to your bathtub, where all the stars shine as if they were in the sky.
The Homestar Spa is one of the latest additions to Sega toys’ Homestar range, a set of powerful toy planetariums, which have been around for ages, but are nonetheless absolutely awesome. One of the cool things about it is that if you get bored of the standard planetarium, you can switch to a different setting that lights up your bath with different colored fish or a bouquet of roses. The device is being launched at the Tokyo Toy Fair, which will be open to the public Saturday and Sunday and is expected to be priced at roughly $70.
Damn, I want one!

I still love the rubber duckie. Cheaper and it does not use any energy. Don’t you think the duckie is more environment friendly?

How cool! Looks very relaxing! How do I get one?

Hey you hippy freaks – I think this this is cool n all, but shouldn’t you be denouncing it as a unnecessary battery-wasting, non-biodegradable plastic frivolity? Or is it helping to conserve whales or something?

Uh… The point of the towel is to be taken OFF before you sit in the bathtub…
DUH

Wow, that is really neat! Seems like the perfect addition to a warm, relaxing bath.

This is one seriously sweet ball. I wonder how I can apply it to my site design. They will go hand in hand.

Fuck the ball. I want to ball the girl!

Yes indeed, most people bathe several times a week. You must smell like a sweatsock wrapped in rancid bacon.

I’m pretty sure this is photoshopped. Water effects look unrealistic.

Should she be bathing with an electronic device?
July 19th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Yeah, but can you submerge it?
