If your kids have grown wise to your idle threats of coal in the stocking, then how about letting them play with FATBEAR in their fairy-tale lands of candy-cane slides and soda-pop fountains. Then, when that toddler steps out line, just rip off the bear's head and delight in the screams of compliance. Now this isn't just any ol'
child-herding,
decapitated teddy bear mind you, FATBEAR -- which is more like your creepy uncle LEGO Man in a
bear suit -- is from none other than Japan's own, SolidAlliance and offered up deadpan with a tagline of "let me taste your sweet memory." Start feeding FATBEAR up to 256MB of your data and this little plastic furball actually begins to grow, we think -- oh please god of the craplastic, let it be so! Of course, his powers of recall will be wiped quicker than you can breathlessly utter "eeer," after tapping that belly for a USB bong. Available now for ¥3,980 (about $34) for the 256MB model or just ¥1,980 (about $17) for the 128MB version -- but worth it at any price.

What?! :|
Decapitated teddy bears are always fun. When my wife and I visited Bath (England) on our honeymoon, we spotted a window display of teddy bears sticking their heads through a wall...except, if you looked again, it was clear that it was just the heads. We dubbed it Teddy Bear Traitors' Cloister.
With the head off it looks more like the stay puff marshmallow man.
It looks like a greeble. Cognitive neuroscience anyone?

So if that's a guy's head under the bear head, doesn't that really make these a "Guy Stuck Wearing the Bear Suit" USB flash drives?
I can see alot of Amusement Park folks buying these.
Using these as a bong reduces short term flash memory.
Patrick,
I think it's an androgynous greeble, but IANAGE (I am not a greeble expert).
So if you feed him too much he craps out data all over your desk?
