Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye is a little handheld microscope that you plug into the television to view things close up in all their glory. How close? Well let’s just say that if 200 x magnification is not enough, perhaps now’s the time to revisit that optician down the street? Kids will probably have a blast with this gizmo, although we’re not sure that viewing our receding hair follicles in that kind of detail is really necessary. Or desirable. They may call it scientific exploration, but we call it snooping. Anyhoo $49.99 gets you in there with the microbes so have fun.
Much more fun than a microscope, the EyeClops transforms any television into an interactive TV toy. With the EyeClops, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Magnified to 200 times the normal size and viewed on any TV screen, minuscule salt crystals morph into blocks of ice; hair and carpet turn into giant noodles; and small insects become fearsome creatures. The Bionic Eye has three built-in LED lights so kids can illuminate any object, including their own skin.
