WOTTOW: Eye Clops Night Vision Goggles
No, it’s not a death ray laser; although that might be a pretty cool WOTTOW in its own right. It’s the Eye Clops Night Vision Goggles, by Jakks Pacific!
The Eye Clops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles (the full, official name) are based on advances in infrared visualization that have made night surveillance and military operations so popular with terrorists and other fun-loving college groups these days. These goggles produce a clear image at up to 50 feet; further if there is some sort of infrared illumination on the object.
Get you a set and you’ll be able to see which kids are tossing those eggs at your car this Halloween. (Not that you can catch them, you never did use that BowFlex.) You can use them spot nasty varmints getting into your trashcan. Or, if you’re really mean, you can jump out from between cars at night and scare the Bejeebers out of your neighbors. No, wait; you don’t need these goggles for that, if the stories I’ve heard are true.
Anyways, they’re bound to give you hours and hours of good, clean fun messing up the Boy Scouts camping expeditions, or whatever it is you do in the dark.
Eye Clops is a family of cool toys, actually. JakksPac puts out the original Eye Clops Bionic Eye, which produces a magnified image of whatever you put into its field of view. That image can be seen on your television screen. If you own a large flat-panel TV (and who doesn’t these days), you can get some truly monstrous-sized images to explore. There’s also a BioniCam as well, which looks like the original Bionic Eye but takes still and video images.
These toys are so cool I’m asking Santa for an extra set! That assumes he’s forgiven me for the “chimney malfunction” of last year…
Life is WOT You Make of It!
