Japanese women are now finding love and romance in the arms of “Handsome Man Bank”. Fortunately or unfortunately, they are literally paying for every compliment they receive. The Handsome Man Bank, the toy manufactured by Bandai, features LCD screen and it comes in two colors: white and pink.
This toy was actually manufactured because Japanese toy makers were experiencing sales slump over the past several years and the solution to this is to go upmarket. That is, the companies need to manufacture toys for the big boys and the big girls too.
The “Ikemen” gives you a choice of five handsome men that is depicted in Japanese anime style. Your dreamboat will stare at you with dreamy and soulful eyes and whisper sweet nothings in your ear. Every compliment is gonna cost you something like $5 (500 yen). Once you pay, you can select from dulcet tones asking “May I rub your shoulders?” or “Can I kiss you?”
Handsome Man Bank can also function as an alarm clock; it wakes you up by asking some of the above questions…sigh. This technology may seem a little silly to some but it definitely offers romance minus the mess.
