A lot of us waited for it (or maybe not), but now the singing and dancing flower toys from Takara Tomy are giving a comeback [JP], at least in Japan. The company yesterday announced the updated version, dubbed Flower Rock 2.0, will be sold only in this country beginning October 30th and for $57.
The new models are upgraded with a glow function. The petals and leaves will flash in up to 50 different colors, in rythm with the music. The illumination can be adjusted in 5 levels. Owners can choose between 7 different flash modes. The flowers can also be connected to external speakers.
Takara Tomy scored a huge hit with the first version of their flower toys (introduced in 1988), selling 8.5 million units all over the world.
Man, this takes me way back. Love the LEDs though! It looks a lot more fun than the original for sure. I guess it’s online now too, but if you aren’t in Japan you can only get it here:

Does this connect to an I Pod to light up and move to different songs? To get sunglasses, I just click on that picture and you will know? How long will it take after ordering to get to Union, N.J. USA? Do I pay tax on this ordering from overseas? If so, how much? The cost you state is $57.00. How mush is Shipping & Handling? About how long to get here? Does it need Batteries?
Is the order placed thru japand trendshop.com?
Thank you,
