Working on your PC can sometimes be a lonely experience. Well, not anymore, because now you can get yourself a new buddy in the form of Tengu! He's (though he might be a she...) a USB-powered gadget that lights up and lip-syncs to music, or your voice, or whatever noise happens to be banging around at the time. Tengu has seven different facial expressions, and when there's no sounds to lip-sync to, he'll simply nod off. As soon as he detects some noise, he'll wake up and lip-sync along to it. Tengu is a fun little object that guarantees to raise a smile as he lip-syncs along to your favorite songs. See video here. Available NOW here at compact-impact-Amzon Shop!
