New Block Tokyo Tower from Gakken Toys

Written by: Michael Keferl on October 14, 2007 at 11:07 pm | In 01 Technology & Gadget Trends |

There have been a few offerings this year Tokyo Tower models, the most intricate of which being the Tokyo Tower 2007 from Sega Toys.

While not as cool as the Sega model, Gakken Toys is now offering a Tokyo Tower model you can build yourself called the New Block Tokyo Tower.

The New Block Tokyo Tower lights up, but can also be modified to become a hot-air balloon, bridge, or skyscraper. While not as tall as the massive tower in the background of our photo, this model is quite large and seems to be aimed more at kids. Either way, if I actually had the space in my place (and I’ll never get rid of the Beerbot) I might consider getting one just for the cool box.
