We used to have the original Flower Rock by Takara Tomy a long time ago. If you don't know, Flower Rock is a potted flower toy integrated with a speaker that dances to the tune of any music. To celebrate its anniversary and in an effort to become relevant (like how Bandai redesigned the Tamagotchi), the dancing toy gets a complete overhaul with the addition of colorful flashing LED lights on each of its petal and leaf.

As such, dancing now isn't the only feature of the Flower Rock 2.0; expect to get entertained with light shows as well. You just plug in your iPod or other player and listen to music through the toy plant's 1-watt amp and speaker. Tomy Takara's Flower Rock 2.0 was released in Japan earlier this year at the Tokyo Toy Fair. Now thanks to the Japan Trend Shop, it's available to all toy-loving geeks around the world for $77 each.

If I see one dancing to "Don't Worry, Be Happy", I declare that I am not responsible for any subsequent mayhem.
