Throw one more on the pile of Pikachu knock offs!

"So why isn't this a class one?" I hear you ask. "What's the difference?"

Well, since you ask, this little Pikachu doubles as a "neck massager".

Yes, pull out the string out of Pikachu's butt and watch Pika-Boot tremble and vibrate for seven seconds or so. Then pull the string and do it all over again! Hours of fun for the easily amused!

I somehow doubt this was a "standard" feature on Mass-retail Pokemon. It is, however, a popular feature for the bootlegs. There's also a smaller, keychain-sized, Vibrating Pikachu.

My guess is that this toy could be this year's "Tickle Me Elmo!"

Ok, maybe not.
