Yeah, I fail to see how this qualifies as a toy, but I did manage to get a laser that can set people's hair on fire from something I saw in this thread too, so...


Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much.

I had to buy one. It was a significant chunk of change, but it's pretty sweet. Only problems: I put a few black marks on the paint in my living room and narrowly avoided igniting my cat because he decided to chase the beam. I didn't even know cats could SEE blue.
