Tengu – the interactive USB-powered gadget character – really doesn’t do much except reacting to sounds and then responds by making animated faces through LEDs as if it’s lip syncing. Its LEDs can show 14 different facial expressions. To wake up Tengu, simply blow. And when Tengu doesn’t detect any ambient noise, it goes to sleep.
As cool as the USB toy is, things can get quite boring after a while. The developer now tries to extend Tengu’s life through personalization, and he names the new series, All Stars. The three Tengu’s are Rotten, Stardust and Woodstock, all of which are technically the original version. Each box set contains a wig (if you can call it that) and stickers (e.g. sunglasses, tattoos, eye patch) to give Tengu’s personalities. For those who haven’t already been trying to dress their Tengu’s, the All Stars series is now available for $40 each.
