'Ikemen' piggybank
The Japanese word “ikemen” means something akin to “cool guy,” but Bandai’s Ikemen piggybank is possibly the single most stomach-churning toy we’ve ever seen.
Aimed at god knows what kind of simpleton, the bank features an LCD that displays grainy scenes from a “love story” involving the saver and one of said “ikemen.” Add a 500 yen coin and the scene progresses to a conclusion we have no desire to explore. Getting there will cost five brown notes, which takes us back to a few memorable nights just off Broadway. Only difference is, we didn’t get the cash back at the end of the show.
