Dot Creator: The Animator Reborn

Dot Creator is a tiny little handheld device that allows kids (or adults) to create little animations. Just looking at this toy reminded me of one of from my 80's childhood called the Animator, which essentially did the same thing.

I never had the toy, but the screen was completely monochromatic. I don't know how a number of "Pixels" it had, but this Dot Creator is about 21 x 21, which isn't darn much. You can only store 3 animations that are limited to 19 frames.

Fortunately, you get what you pay for. The Dot Creator is available now on Yodobashi.com for approximately $15 USD.
