We all know that baby animals are much cuter than their adult counterparts, and Bandai aims to capitalize on this general human weakness with its range of BabyAnimal robots. You will be able to choose from four BabyAnimal variants, including the polar bear, white tiger, lion and panda. These toys sit at around 35cm and is powered by a quartet of AA batteries. There will be four sensors included in each toy, making it able to detect touches at its neck, chest and head area, causing it to correspond with animal sounds. Leave it alone for five minutes and it will go to sleep, while pulling its ear is the only way to wake it up. Each Bandai BabyAnimal robot will cost $80 a pop in Japan.
