Yao Ming Transformer

The famous Chinese icon in the world of basketball, Yao Ming, has yet another source of income (assuming the company marketing this toy pays him royalties, that is – you can never be too sure with Chinese products protecting intellectual property). When closed, he looks like an ordinary basketball, but you are able to transform him by opening up the outer layer of the basketball, revealing a robotic body with Yao Ming’s head popping up finally. Looks pretty weird to us, this. Maybe he would have sold better if released during the Summer Olympics.
