No, not Gamera; these cute little amphibians won't be battling Godzilla anytime soon.  But they could be crawling around your desk at work, or frightening your high-strung pets at home, thanks to Dynamism.com, the excellent site that brings so many cool gadgets from Japan to the tech-starved who live elsewhere.

Called Walkiebits, the turtles do more than crawl: They can chirp back any pattern you tap on their backs, up to 15 taps. And... their tails wag. They come in Dot Blue, Heart Pink, Star Yellow, Melon, Mint, Orange, Peach, Pine, Soda, Snow, Blue, and Green, and cost $29 per. Dynamism says the Walkiebits are very popular in Japan, so better make like a hare and move quickly to get one.
