The Japanese have come up with yet another strangely compelling toy. Where the heck do they get these ideas anyway?

Now you can grow your own test tube alien – actually you can grow two of them if you purchase one of the Alien Adoption World Collectors Kits. Your kids would probably get a huge kick out of having their very own alien and watching it grow. Plus, as I said you get two aliens in the alien adoption kit so if you have two kids you’re all set.

How does it work? It’s simple really. When you, or your kids get the kit all you have to do is add water to the tube that contains the alien and the chrysalis inside will begin to bubble and crack open. Within a few minutes you’ll see that the chrysalis has become the beginning of an alien that will continue to grow for a few weeks. The brain, which contains a computer chip, appears first, then you’ll see the heart start beating. It just keeps growing from there.

The alien is interactive. You can take your alien to the research lab online and interact through signals using the infrared black white portal on the website. This portal communicates with your alien, but you’ll have to input your aliens reactions into the website.

The adoption kit contains two aliens, 2 video games and an alien head gurglin keychain, and a feeding material for your alien called sloog which will help your baby alien grow into a big strong alien. You’ll also receive a certificate of authenticity.

Have a look at this video to see how the alien grows and how it reacts with the portal. Now, do you think your kids might like their very own alien this Christmas? If you think they might then order before December 19th and you should get your aliens in time for Xmas.

Get yours today!
