Tokyo-based Cube Works, whose products regularly find their way outside Japan (example: the humping USB dog), has announced a mini Yoda figure (the little green guy from Star Wars) that you connect to your computer’s USB port. The power is needed to make Yoda’s cheeks blush and illuminate his light saber.
The mini Yoda requires Windows (XP or Vista), comes with an installation CD for some reason and runs only on computers with a 1GHZ Intel Pentium processor or better.
The figure is Japan-only, but you can pre-order it over at Geek Stuff 4 U for $65.52 plus shipping (leading time: end of next month).

Describing who Yoda is in your post on a tech blog is funny.
you’d be surprised how many people out there have NO CLUE about anything techie or trekkie or any otherie but you are right I think we geeks need to be more assertive in communicating our world to the rest of humanity – lol
Why does it need installed if the USB is only powering the lights?
haha very cool.. love the yoda
I love this. It’s so cute.
