NCS Product Synopsis
Update: April 12, 2010
«©NCSX» Dogs are funny animals. They're loyal to a fault and chase their own tails. Dogs also love to eat. We know this because dollops of Alpo Chop House™ that are dropped in a food bowl are eaten within a few blinks of the eye. Do they even chew the food? It seems like the chunky meat morsels pass from a dog's mouth to its gullet in six second flat.
The Choken-Bako Coin Bank features a hungry dog. Real hungry. The pooch doesn't look voracious when its standing at attention but drop a coin or three into its food bowl and it'll get to work. The beast will move its body to and fro as its hungry maw swishes around the bowl like life, liberty, and limb depending on it. Dog owners who've witnessed their dogs going to town over a bowl of food should find the visual of Choken-Bako in action heartwarmingly familiar.
Happinet has announced two new versions of the Choken-Bako Coin Bank which are shipping next week. The first variant is a spotted black and white pooch with beady eyes and the second version is a black and tan duotone specimen. Each dog stands over a rectangular vessel which is designed to store coins. Most coin banks just have a slot in which to insert savings but Choken-Bako utilizes a food dish. When coins are placed in the dish, a sensor mechanism is activated which causes the dog to "eat" in its feverish manner. The dog never touches any of the coins however. A slot that's cut into the bottom of the dish ensures that any coins drop into the storage unit as the dog moves and the dish swivels to and fro. When the coin bank is full, a hatch may be opened to release the savings.
Preorders are welcome to ship on or around April 22, 2010 at JPY2800 or US$36.90 from NCS.
