So there's this new Barbie out there and she's a Balerina...oooo....anyway she comes with bracletts for the little gil to wear and when she moves the barbie will mimic her movements.

well I cant find a link to it....but I just saw and ad on TV.

Now it's pretty basically crappy tech at the moment....what with barbie only having one joint on her arms and stuff.

But with some proper developing this could be the ultimate in remote control Action Figure Technology....Imagine you and a freind putting a few velcro patches on your body in a few select places and then atching some little 12 inch Spiderman fight a little 12 inch Green Goblin as you two control thier motions.

I think this is what they should be working on.
 
That would be very cool. Even if say they just made it at first with just upper body movement like the arms/head for a fighting game like a Rock'em Sock'em Robots kinda thing. My son got one but it's Superman versus Metallo. What would be cool is instead of the trigger they have those type of patches you're talking about and you put them on your arms/fists and maybe around the neck so when you move side to side the figure can dodge side to side from the other figures punches. And then when one figure is "knocked out" (y'know, when the head snap up) the nec/shoulder thing could vibrate to let the kid "feel the action". Pretty cheesy but if workable kids would probably have some fun with it. Eh....so many ideas out there. If they make dolls that can take a s*** why not some you can control to fight one another. Even if its simple movements.
 
That'd be friggin' awesome if Marvel and DC figures had that someday. Stage your own battles! :up:
 
True, but as much as that would be cool for us ol'skoolers that wished we could have something like that back then there's to many kids that're video game zombies.
 
FTB is onto something there....This would be awesome...I know I would buy them....And the tecknology is out there.

Hell I bet I could figure something lie this out........I need a powerglove.

I could rig something like this up......I just need some sort of pneumatice moving toy and a powerglove.

all it is is switches and ****.

Dude...I am serious...I can figure this out myself...it would be crappy and sucky, but if I can to it then I am sure some toy big wigs can do it.
 
Maybe you could make something and patent it and sell it to a big company.
 
I need to figure out the motion activated swihed that were used in th power glove......hmmmm....I suppose the motion activated light switch thingies could work......but I would need them significantly less sensitive...this is actually quite plausible.
 
Good luck bro. I think you're heading down the road of a permanent headache.
 
I think so too....Maybe I'll just draw up sone diagnostics and send them in.
 
I'll Have you know that I am educated in wires and switches and all that ****...I used to be an appliance repair man you know.
 
Hmmmm...I need two of these new Barbies and a set of Rock em Sock em Robots......though I don't know if the hydraulics inte Barbie would have the power I need.
 
I don't doubt you bro.

I think you doubt yourself just a little.

teehee.
 
Damn....That's it.....I'm seriously gonna look into this.....Which company Makes Rocke em Sock Em Robots?

I hope it's Hasbro or Mattell.....OS we can get some Automated Superhero Rock Em Sock Ems.
 
It's Mattel ....Mattel Makes em.....Batman vs joker weeee
