Model Rocket of the Day: Actually Not a Rocket; Actually a Vibrator

There’s an argument to be made that all vibrators count as “do it yourself projects,” but this vibrator (which Google Translate insists is called the Hyper Dash rotor) really is a do it yourself project. See, it comes in a bunch of separate plastic pieces waiting to be cut out of plastic trusses, just like that model Gundam you’re so proud of. Observe:

Even the Japanese website Kotaku Japan found this on admits that this device is mostly for the kitch value of the tongue-in-check model packaging and the amusement of building your own vibrator, and that it’s probably not going to, shall we say, function very well in the field. But with a price tag like $7.27 (actually 680 yen), that should come as no surprise to anybody who’s actually shopped for a vibrator. On the other hand, shell out $7.27 and shipping, and you’ve got yourself an afternoon’s project and a good laugh from anybody who takes a close look at the display box.
