Takara's VoIP intercom phone

This one sneaked past us at the time, but seems eccentric Japanese toymaker Takara (responsible for the Bowlingual and more recently the Dream Workshop)
is coming out with an IPv6 intercom phone, meaning that you can get a small step closer to having everything in your house connected up by Ethernet cables. Plug these in to your network, and picking up one will ring the other. If all this sounds a bit dry and techy, don't worry—Takara hasn't forgotten it's a toy company. You can chain up to five animal toys to the port provided on the handset cradle, which will start singing in chorus when it rings.
