Review: Mugen Pop Pop Endless Bubble Popping toy

Mugen Pop Pop is a handheld toy, based on bubble-wrap, manufactured by Bandai America. It comes in four colors and is in stores now. They fired one our way, and I can humbly report that is it as addictive as it is silly. And best illustrated by video:

why is he whispering and was he trying to hypnotise me there from 00:31 through 00:46?

I haven't been back to Pittsburgh for a while, but I am pretty sure that is not what the accent sounds like.

So now that we've seen JJ and Bobby-B laying down some tape, what's it going to take to drag the pallid corpulent flesh husk of Jacky Brown into the light? And will we be able to see further evidence of cloning? Since either Joel is Rob's american clone, or Rob is Joel's british clone. And I want to know if Brownlee goes to the same barber as Joel and Rob.

Wasn't this supposed to be someone's prize from a contest you put on a few days ago? I think the Mugen Pop Pop chooses its owner and that man must be careful not to interfere with the Pop Pop's wishes.

I got one early because a friend worked on the commercial. I can't tell you how many times it's gotten me laid :|

@Gnosis:
Is that number zero?

@Jarvik7:
I can't vouch for Gnosis, but my wife was pretty excited when I gave her one.

your voice is soothing.

Nice. I was disappointed to hear you say "isn't it" instead of "innit" though. I demand all British folks speak like the Geico Gecko.

Yes, the number is exactly...zero.

Alright, Brownlee's turn. And if he doesn't have the same exact haircut, I will be incredibly disappointed.

Bought one of these thru Think Geek last Xmas for my boss as well as one for myself. They've been out for a while; not sure why everyone is noticing them now...

Even got to write mine off on my taxes; as an OT I can formally say they make a great fine motor activity *grin*
