The ToyQuest “RipRoar Creation Station” is a VGA-resolution webcam—nothing special there—with a mountable green screen and software package for compositing your own special effects shots. While I’m sure most of these will be used to film battles against lightsaber-wielding dragon robots piloted by zombie pirates (and the ninja princess wizard who leads them), I quietly hope that the Creation Station will fuel the dreams of at least one awkward pre-teen television meteorologist.
The whole kit is a hundred bucks. I’m not entirely sure it’s just a straight web cam; there may be some flash memory on board for tetherless recording, too.
Oh, and one button upload to YouTube! I could see a healthy market for this with cornball podcasters.

This is awesome. Bring on the fan-films!
BEWARE: It does not work!
I BOUGHT THIS ITEM FOR MY KIDS FOR CHRISTMAS THE RIPROAR CREATION STATION
this is a peice of junk -got for kids wish i had read the reviews every one of them is right there is one guy who writes a review of this item and wrote the CEO and nothing ! this is what i am talking about how can some one make a toy or product and it does not work
sell in stores and does no jail time this to me is real fraud
at the start this item was $99.00 dollars now walmart clearence is 30 to 35 dollars -people have spent there money on this junk as i read some reviews it worked for a few days and that is it -the company even claims the CD with it does not work so you have to download from the website -kids very small cant figure this out !!!!!!!!! take it back and boycott this toys maker junk dont buy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO GOT HAD TO PAY THE $99 FOR IT
does this camera use SD cards if so and it functions as a removable drive you can take the card out of the camera and stick it into a flashcard reader on a PC and drag and drop the videos to moviemaker or your HD, this might be worth spending 30 bucks for i wouldnt pay 100 for it though, hmm one touch youtube uploading
